About Us
Tom S.Best wine trip I've ever been on. We had an excellent time. Mladen was an excellent host. It was a great treat to get to visit Mouton and Margaux. We also really loved Chateau Kirwan and the excellent lunch of Preserved Duck Parmentier. Our time with the winemaker in the vineyards at Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte was one of the highlights of the trip for me. I thought the guide Karin did a great job.
Louise P.I would recommend highly and not hesitate to travel with Mladen & Joy again and this wonderful group who I can now call my friends. We laughed always, drank and ate fine foods every day and experienced beautiful parts of Italy. Love the truffle hunt, the cooking class, the dinner with Salvatore Ferragamo. The Sistine Chapel was an unbelievable experience. Many thanks for the trip of a lifetime!!!! It was positively the most wonderful travel experience I have ever had. Every detail was taken care of with worry free travel for all. Made friends for life!
John M.We had experiences and saw things we would have never known to exist if we had tried this on our own.
Lisa G.This trip was well planned and seamlessly executed. It provided fabulous Italian experiences including not just truly amazing food and wine, but exploring hilltop villages, truffle farm, organic farm, and cheese making, all at the same time while making new friends from our club! Traveling together is just more fun! Also, there were many simple pleasures difficult to put value on - like not having to schlep luggage from place to place, but transported for us to the next hotel and placed in our room by the time we arrived! Job well done both Mladen and Joy!
Joe P.You don't have to do anything thing except come along for the fun. Everything is taken care of for you to make for a wonderful experience.
David D.The opportunity of Mladen and Joy showing me their home country made the experience of seeing Bulgaria very fulfilling. The country is beautiful, the people are warm and friendly, the foods and wines are great, and the history is very interesting. The guide was very knowledgeable about the entire country.
James P.A great trip and wonderful experience! Wines and food were great! The service can be slow. But to be honest, a lot better than I expected. The guide Kamen was outstanding !!!!! Very knowledgeable and he read the group’s interest well. A well thought thru trip in all aspects. A trip I could never do on my own. Fun group. Excellent value for money.
Steve P.The winery visits appealed to guests of widely varying knowledge regarding wine, but you must be interested in learning about wine to enjoy this in-depth quality exposure to the industry. Bordeaux is an extremely charming city, and both hotels were great. Overall, a great trip that exceeded expectations.
DeniseHer expertise and attention to detail made our travel experience seamless and unforgettable.
Roger C.A trip you must take. The country was clean and the people were very pleasant. The scenery is breathtaking. Joy's attention to detail was remarkable. She always listens to our suggestions regarding the trip. Will be travelling with her again.
Cathy G.Your service, experience, enthusiasm, charm are all spectacular. You and Mladen both make the trip! Magical on all levels!
Peter C.Mladen and Joy did a fantastic job, showing us so many aspects of Bulgaria, helped to realize the beauty of the country. The trip was most beneficial because of the personal stories including what life was like under the Communists. Wines were wonderful from the many SB, Roses to Malbecs. Again much enhanced by Mladen’s knowledge of both wines and country. Great variety, quality, and quantity. Wineries were fun & educational. From the first meal with all eyes popping after seeing our first Bulgarian salad to our last meal food was great. Food experience went from everyday Bulgarian to Fusion fantastic choices. Our guide Kamen was extremely knowledgeable and was a perfect addition to the group. I told friends prior to the trip that I would come back as an expert on Bulgaria, little did I know how true that was thanks to Kamen. Loved it all: villages, cities, resorts, monasteries - all with their individual stories. Museums gave new education on Bulgarian history. I can't say enough about the visit and the performance at the School of Bulgarian Folklore & Dance. Wow!
Excellent value for money. The trip exceeded my expectations. Because Bulgaria is still an undiscovered country, this trip enlightens you on all aspects of culture, history, beauty, and an understanding of the people. Great immersion into wines, foods, and understanding of what living under communism was like.
