What's Next for the TCC Traveling Wine Lovers?
Since our Wine Country Coastal Cruise was such a blast, we’re very interested in hearing your ideas for our next trip. Our next excursion is planned for the summer of 2013 to give us time to plan and save. That being said, we would love to hear where you’d like to go. Do you prefer another wine country-focused tour within the United States? How about a Rhine River Tour? Have you always wanted to visit the vineyards in France or Spain? We’re open to your ideas and anxious to start the planning. Please email or call with your destination and length of stay preferences. Looking forward to hearing from you!
