The Terroir Tours train is rolling into 2025 with incredible momentum! Thanks to all of you for your support and inspiration!!
This spring, we’ll be traveling to Portugal - including stops in Lisbon, Porto and the Douro Valley. Then, we’re off to lead back to back tours in France where we’ll explore the Rhone Valley, Burgundy, Alsace, Champagne, Normandy and Paris.
In fall, Lauren is hosting the second annual Women’s Wine & Wellness retreat - this year in the South of France - Narbonne.
Finally, we’ll return to experience The Majesty of Northern Italy. We’ll enjoy white truffles in Alba before stoping through Emilia-Romagna on our way to Tuscany — then on to Shakespeare’s favorite, Verona.

I was thrilled to read your email about the history and future of Terroir Tours! So incredibly excited about your expanding endeavor for you all (and for us, too! :) You have certainly made our gatherings and trip preparation feel very communal. Bill and I are just delighted we found you all when we moved to Greensboro last year. Great wine of course but added bonus of great conversation and lots of laughs with great people. Congratulations! We're looking forward to our first trip with you and more to come.
