The Wine Huntress Experience
Small Groups. Intimate Settings. World-class Grapes.
Most wine tours move fifty people through tasting rooms that anyone could have walked into. These do not. Susan has spent years establishing relationships with growers and proprietors, and the doors those relationships open are the entire point of traveling with her.
Groups stay small enough to sit at one table. Winemakers pour their own wine. Attendees become immersed in the scientific and thoughtful process of producing the raw material that has been thoroughly enjoyed for centuries. And while the group size is limited, we aim to find you a spot in a truly remarkable experience.
“A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.”

About
Susan Frasca
Sommelier, educator, and the reason these doors open. Susan has built her work around one idea — that wine is best understood where it is made, standing in the row, talking to the person who farmed it.
Alongside the travel she runs private tastings, virtual and in-person education, and an intimate cellar for dinners and seminars.
