She’s not sending you to eat at that overhyped restaurant everyone on Instagram found last month. Kathryn’s trips are built around flavor with feeling - truffle hunts in Piedmont, rooftop tastings in Buenos Aires, cooking classes where the nonna corrects your technique and your posture. She curates travel the way a great sommelier builds a pairing: intentional, layered, a little indulgent, and always surprising.
To Kathryn, food and wine aren’t just experiences, they’re entry points. Every sip tells a story. Every meal is a conversation. Whether you’re swirling orange wine in Slovenia or devouring street tacos in Oaxaca, she makes sure you’re not just eating well, you’re eating right. Local ingredients, regional traditions, family-owned kitchens. The kind of trip where the chef knows your name, and the wine comes with a history lesson and a refill.
Her itineraries flow like a well-balanced tasting menu: just enough structure to keep things smooth, just enough spontaneity to keep it fun. You’ll walk vineyards no one else has access to, learn what to order (and what to avoid) in every region, and come home with more than great memories—you’ll bring back stories, recipes, and a wildly elevated palate.
The fastest way to the soul of a place is through its wine list.
Kathryn's Travel Philosophy
Why Work With Kathryn?
Working with Kathryn means your itinerary won’t look like anyone else’s. She doesn’t follow top-10 lists. She follows harvest seasons, wine festivals, market days, and the subtle cues that tell you whether a spot is truly special—or just well marketed. From Michelin stars to hole-in-the-wall gems, she balances polish with authenticity, always prioritizing places with heart (and a killer house pour).
She’s also a logistics ninja. With a background in project management, Kathryn doesn’t just dream up incredible trips, she makes them run beautifully. That truffle hunt? Timed perfectly between your villa check-in and aperitivo. The cooking class? Private, seasonal, and taught by someone whose family cookbook should be a national treasure. You won’t see the work behind it, but you’ll feel it in how effortless everything is.
Most of all, Kathryn makes travel personal. She gets to know her clients like a sommelier gets to know a grape, patiently, thoroughly, with curiosity and care. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just need a week that tastes like freedom, she’ll plan a trip that feels tailored, not templated. Come hungry. She’s got you..
