Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. A little a bit about myself. My career in hospitality began in my native town of San Diego, CA in 1988 in grocery retail. In 2001 I left my hometown and moved to Northern California to raise a family. After a 6 year break I decided to dive back into the workforce as a concierge and wine education coordinator with Meadowood Napa Valley where I fell in love with the rustic charm of wine country. I later transitioned to catering fine events in the Sonoma wine region with Ramekins Culinary School Events and Inn which allowed me to form new relationships with chefs, vintners, and local industry professionals. I have had the honor and privilege to work in two of the world's most renowned wine counties and with some of the best in the industry. I would love to share my wine country experience with you and trust you will fall in love with this part of the world the way I did. Hope to see you soon. . . cheers! I have had the honor to work with and meet some of the best in the industry and felt the need to share my experience with everyone I meet along the way. I have over 25 years of hospitality, concierge, and wine education experience, including catering fine events in the region which has allowed me to form relationships with chefs, vintners, and local industry professionals. After many years of working for some of the best in the industry I decided to share my knowledge of this great wine region by facilitating wine tours. TCP# 36483 I will provide information for the surrounding areas and coordinate all visits however a staff member or proprietor for each winery will take over once you arrive and provide the history for each winery.

This was the second day of our wine country tour. It was as outstanding as the first day. See 6/3 review.

I could not have asked for a better tour program. Veronica coordinated all our wine tours both using my requests and her suggestions. She had all the times booked and organized efficiently. Our transportation and driver was fantastic. On time, helpful and informative. He even provided and assisted us with pictures. This was the only way to go with an organized tour of wine country. We did two days in a row and three per day. I highly recommend and will book again when we return.

I reached out to Veronica several weeks ahead of our visit to Napa & Sonoma and she planned a wonderful day for my husband and I. We visited 3 different vineyards each with its own unique feel, which we appreciated. She made us feel right at home and had wonderful energy and conversation in the car between vineyards. She took photos of our day, so we are able to look back on our time out west fondly. I highly recommend her for future tours, you will not be disappointed.

Veronica was simply amazing! Everything was organized and communicated well for our first trip to Sonoma. She made sure to accommodate our list of wineries to tour, and then made excellent additions once she learned our likes and preferences. She has great connections and was able to get multiple last minute reservations for us to ensure that our trip was perfect :)

Veronica planned a great day. Started off with a glass of Champagne. All 3 wineries were excellent with each being a unique experience. Great variety of wines from all small wineries that would not have been accessible on the retail market. Her suggestion for lunch was also spot on. Everyone had a great day.
