Handcrafted Travel
919.536.3200

Our approach to handcrafted, experiential vacation and incentive travel adventures redefines personalized travel. We wish to exceed your expectations of a destination and enable you to appreciate all its dimensions. And we want to enable you to benefit from traveling with a larger group of family, friends or business colleagues.

We plan golf vacation itineraries for independent travelers and groups based on the skill level and golf interests of each group. We also can design unique group programs, such as a combined golf and wine school, and dynamic programs for non-golfers. Because third-party course reviews often are biased, we thoroughly examine golf venues based on design, conditioning, playability, customer service and scenic value. Our charge is to relieve you of potential uncertainty, allowing you to immerse yourself in your destination.

Likewise, our commitment to helping you pursue your passion for epicurean adventures is matchless. Fabulous meals, winemaker dinners, meet-the-winemaker and chef sessions as well as private boutique winery and vineyard tours can be just part of your vacation itinerary. A small sampling of other experiential possibilities includes the following:

  • Engage in personalized and creative tastings such as pitting the 2000 Bordeaux Premier Cru against the very best Napa Cabernet
  • Tour a farmer’s market with a chef and learn how to select the freshest ingredients, followed by an interactive cooking session at one of the finest restaurants in town
  • Explore a Wine Education Garden to refine your palate and better understand flavors that complement wine varietals
  • Relax with your group while observing a cooking demonstration, followed by dinner on the veranda of a private residence or villa with an unbeatable view

    Add a dimension to your palate by exploring wine with artisan cheese or gourmet chocolate

  • Enroll in a personalized cooking class or a mini-course centered on an appellation, food pairing or other customized topic (with tasting!)
  • Actively participate in the fall harvest
  • Enhance your wine collection via personalized cellar planning consultation from some of the nation’s leading wine merchants
