Virtual Tour and Wine Tasting Invitation đźŤ·

A personal time sensitive invitation from Lisa…

We are into our 11th week of “Shelter in Place” and may be for a while depending on where you live.  Life with your loved ones 24/7, never ending news and homeschooling kids, could drive anyone to drink. So instead of drinking a bottle of 2 Buck Chuck, alone, why not level up, to a fun virtual XOOM Tour and Wine Tasting Party?

Let’s face it, we all have cabin fever. Our vacations are on hold, we can’t wait to get back out there to explore the world. After watching a million videos of places we want and can’t go to right now, we need more buckets for our Bucket Lists. Unfortunately, I don’t have that magical date, just yet. But I do have the next best thing.

My friend, Warren Egnal, founder of DouxVin, and I will do what we each do best and take you on a virtual tour and a real wine tasting.

Titantic Museum, Belfast, United Kingdom

Warren is totally charming; a walking, talking Wikipedia of wine. He knows every wine in every region of the world, he’s amazing. DouxVin has the most impressive selection of wines, from the perfect red for pizza to the rarest of Grand Cru’s. And of course, XOOM Tours can turn your travel dreams into reality.

So, since we can’t go out into the world, we’ll bring the world to you.

HERE'S THE PLAN:

We have scheduled 3 different virtual travel tours and wine tasting from 3 different wine growing regions of the world. Each night, we’ll use Zoom Video Conferencing to present a virtual travel tour and wine tasting, with 1 white and 1 red from each region.

Lisa VanBuhler, XOOM Tours


The first virtual tour will be to South Africa on Thursday, June 18th at 8 PM EDT, 5 PM PDT with Hills of Africa, specialists in African vacations.


For the second virtual tour we are going to Portugal on Thursday, June 25th at 8 PM EDT, 5 PM PDT with AMA Waterways, specialists in European river cruising.

And for the third virtual tour we are going to Italy and Croatia on Tuesday, June 30th at 8 PM EDT, 5 PM PDT with See Italy and Via Croatia. Italy has been hit hard; we need to send them some love.

Before each wine tasting, you’ll see gorgeous photos and videos of the region and what you will be able to experience when you get to travel there from the experts. Think of it as whetting your appetite for the tasting. Then Warren will introduce us to the wines you were shipped, and we’ll taste, ask questions and have a great time.

This is how it works. If you want to participate in the wine tasting, you will need to order the 6 bottle set from DouxVin in advance. Warren has made it super simple. The six bottles will be sent directly to your home, in time for the tastings.

You will receive:

South Africa

(1) Babylonstoren Chenin Blanc and (1) Cabernet Sauvignon

Dating back to 1692, with the Simonsberg, Du Toitskloof and Franschhoek mountains as backdrop, Babylonstoren is a majestic jewel of the Cape. The wines are a combination of the very essence of Babylonstoren – keeping things simple and as true to the earth as possible, producing elegant and balanced wines.

Portugal

(1) Quinta de la Rosa Estate White & (1) Reserve Red

Quinta de la Rosa has been in the Bergquvist family for over 100 years. While well known for Port, The Douro region also produces excellent white and red wines from native varietals. Quinta de la Rosa produces their wines without over-extraction and without too much tannin or oak. The wines are rich and full bodied while maintaining freshness and good acidity.

Italy and Croatia

(1) Elena Walch Pinot Grigio and (1) Lagrein

Elena Walch is a leading Alto Adige wine estate, in family hands, and belongs to the elite in Italian wine production, with international success.

Encouraging quality and innovation, Elena Walch stood at the head of the Alto Adige quality revolution and has gained local and international esteem for her efforts.

The cost for all 6 bottles ($215) plus tax and shipping ($25) is $240. I think there are only a few states that he can’t ship to. Someone 21 years of age or older, has to be available to receive the wine.

You must RSVP (Click Here) to me that you will be attending. I will send you a Zoom Video Link for each tasting. Not a wine drinker? I’d still love to have you join in. But you must RSVP (Click Here) to get the Zoom link.

For our wine participants, you must order by June 8th. That will ensure that Warren can get the wines packed, ready to be shipped and sent, so you’ll have them in time, for the first tasting. Shipments take longer to the east coast, which is why he needs the lead time.

Warren and I, along with our special guest speakers look forward to sharing insights and tastes from these wonderful destinations. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me about the Zoom platform details and of course travel and to Warren for any questions about the wine.

See you on June 18th!

Lisa and Warren

In the meantime, take care, wash your hands, stay healthy!
