“Butch’s inaugural trip to Portugal more than met my every expectation, from the big picture—fun, food, wine and new friends—to the important details of organizing and executing every detail, that made the adventure so special. I don’t see how the experience could get any better, but something tells me Butch will find ways by fall…

“Going to Tuscany and Assisi with Butch was a dream vacation! We stayed at fabulous inns, had great experiences visiting wineries, olive oil producers, seeing the sights and, especially, enjoying great food!

Matt & Lori Coleman
“In June of 2015 my wife Lori and I participated in one of Butch’s infamous European wine tours to the beautiful country of Spain, the Priorot region to be exact. Lori is a wine connoisseur so this trip was built for her. Me, not so much. I like beer so this trip was to be…

“John and I have been on numerous winery tours in Napa, and none compared to the tour you arranged in Tuscany. The hosts, often owners, spent a great deal of time sharing their knowledge and love of wine-making with us, and it was very inspirational. Your itinerary had a nice selection of small, quaint Tuscan…

Enjoy a hillside wine tasting, make paella with a local chef, tour a winery & then have an incredible BBQ Sangenis style. End your trip with…
