Wine and Travel Expert, Gail Sherman
Wine Lovers Travel CEO/Founder Gail Sherman has been planning wine trips for her clients since 2017 and started her own company, Wine Lovers Travel, in 2019. She has traveled to wine regions across Europe, Australia and the US and has extensive knowledge about wine and travel.
Wine Lovers Travel was born of Gail’s desire to manifest her best life after treating travel as a side gig while growing her success in corporate technology sales for Fortune 500 companies. Always looking for ways to move out of technology and intro travel, some of Gail’s early ventures were a forerunner to the trips she offers today. One such trip was a 10 day land trip throughout France focused on visiting places known for ceramics, pottery and glass art (another of Gail’s passions in addition to wine!) Filled with visits to artists’ studios, unknown museums like in Sèvres outside Paris and remarkable meals in local restaurants, Gail delivered a trip of hidden gems to the 6 people who accompanied her.
In 2013, Gail decided to make travel her main focus and not a side gig. Gail lives on California's Central Coast, which afforded her the opportunity to study wine by visiting and engaging with winemakers located within a short driving distance. She earned a wine certification from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) and has built personal relationships with wineries throughout the West Coast. She differentiates herself through her enterprise and customer service in the wine and travel industry. She has been recognized as a food and wine travel expert by Signature Travel Network and would love to help you create a wonderful travel experience.
Today, Wine Lovers Travel engages with winery owners, sommeliers, chefs and other industry experts to host truly original cruises and tours wherever wine is grown. We work with both groups and individual travelers and would love to plan the perfect itinerary for where you love to travel for wine!
