You may have noticed that my posts have been a bit less frequent lately…and for that, I apologize. But I’m working on something super exciting! I’m working on a business idea I’ve had for a very long time…an exclusive immersive, behind the scenes, all-inclusive experience in wine country. Why am I doing this? Well…I believe that visiting wine country often feels like going to the zoo: uninspiring winery tours, usually leading to crowded tasting rooms. But I also believe that visiting wine country can be more like embarking on a true, authentic safari: exclusive, private tastings, behind-the-scene, hands-on activities, farm-to-table dining with local chefs and winemakers. So that’s the experience I’m building…and as of right now I’m calling it DolceVita Wine Country Safari.
There are still a lot of details to figure out and one of the steps I’m taking to make progress is to host a prototype weekend in Sonoma (hopefully October 9-11 but we may end up moving it out a bit). The goal of this weekend is not only to start to build out the idea more fully but to also get live feedback from actual guests. If you’re interested or know others who might be please check out dvwinesafari.com for the full itinerary, pricing guide and instructions on how to join us for the weekend. It’s truly going to be epic, educational and delicious…we have a lot of great things planned! Since it’s our first time doing this I’m offering it at a pretty amazing discounted rate so I make sure to fill the spots and get maximum learning…so act fast if you’re interested.
I’ll keep you all updated on my progress here but I do also have a whole list of really fun new SavoryGirl posts that I’m planning as well. I’m just having to split focus and put a bit more energy into DolceVita at the moment…but stay tuned on both fronts, exciting times ahead!
