VIP Winery Vacations

I’ve been in the transportation business my entire life, working in our family company and driving guests through the wine regions of Mexico for decades. I know the wineries, I know the winemakers, and I’ve seen every type of wine tour come through Valle de Guadalupe.

Every time I work with Marcus and Jamie from VIP Winery Vacations, I’m truly amazed at the level of access they bring to their Mexico wine tours. Their personal relationships with the winemakers and the winery owners are real, these aren’t surface-level introductions. They’ve become genuine friends with the people behind the top boutique wineries here in Mexico.

After driving groups around week after week for years, I can honestly say that VIP Winery Vacations offers some of the best, most authentic wine experiences in Mexico. Their tastings are always over the top. They meet with owners and winemakers personally, never as part of a big group tour. I’ve even seen winemakers join Marcus, Jamie, and their guests for dinner at local restaurants, something you almost never see with standard Mexico tours.

Even when they walk into restaurants in Valle de Guadalupe, people recognize them. Locals know them. Winemakers greet them. Their presence has become a real asset to the wine-tour scene here in Mexico.

I look forward to working many more tours with them. If you're considering a Mexico wine tour and want true insider access, VIP Winery Vacations is the team to travel with.🍷🍇👍

My husband and I recently returned from a simply amazing trip with VIP Winery Vacations to France; through Burgundy, Rhone and the French Riviera. Each incredible winery, luxurious accommodation and outstanding restaurant was hand selected by Jamie and Marcus, our hosts. We were treated like royalty. When we travel with them, they take care of every detail.
This was our 5th trip with VIP Winery vacations (3 to the Finger Lakes, NY, 1 to Apulia, Italy.) Because we were a small group, there is an intimacy and specialness to what you have access to. Traveling with a chef and restaurant owner who has personal relationships with the wineries allows unique experiences. One of our favorites was staying in a family chateau where the owner and winemaker gave us a personal tour of the winery, a wine tasting, took us to our rooms and served dinner, prepared by his sister, beside a blazing fireplace. The chateau was filled with history and charm. We stayed in the Gardener’s house, “La Petit Maison du Jardinier,” which was built in the early 1600’s. A very special warm and wonderful evening.
Traveling with VIP Winery Vacations is like traveling with family, while being immersed in the history, culture, climate, food and wine of the regions you visit. Can’t wait for the next one!

Another awesome trip with VIP Winery Vacations! This was my second trip to the Finger Lakes with Jamie & Marcus. Their attention to even the smallest detail is not missed. Accomodations, transportation to all the wonderful wineries we visited, delicious meals & even time to relax is all carefully planned. Their contacts & our small group allowed for personalized attention from the winery owners, winemakers or sommelier. We had wine pairing with a delicious Austrian lunch, sampled wine straight from the steel tanks, received a 'behind the scene' tour, experienced red carpet treatment with every tasting, and we made new friends along the way! This was a value packed get away. I'm looking forward to my next trip with Jamie & Marcus and highly recommend a trip with VIP Winery Vacations.

Jaime and Marcus could not have been better hosts. From the warm welcome to lavish tastings and everything in between. The knowledge they both have made every second so much better. The amount of work and their tireless efforts made my trip 1000/10. I would go on any trip they plan knowing that I am in the best hands possible. I have learned so much on this trip.

We had a wonderful trip to the FLX with Jamie and Marcus. They were excellent guides and provided intimate , private wine tasting experiences at several different locations. From the welcome reception on the first evening, to lunch on our final day, they were fantastic hosts. They were knowledgeable about the wines, and the winemakers themselves! We made many friends on the trip who we still maintain friendships with, the entire trip was unforgettable!
