Fill your life with unforgettable experiences with us!
The best way to truly experience a country is through its food, wines, markets, and traditions—sharing stories and meals with locals along the way. Now, we invite you to embark on this journey with us!
Let’s travel for the love of food and wine. Experience the world through a chef’s eyes.
Hosted by Doreen Colondres, a seasoned chef and wine educator, these custom-tailored educational trips offer more than sightseeing—they bring you up close with winemakers, chefs, and farmers at every destination. You won’t just taste their creations; you’ll raise a glass and toast with the locals, forging genuine connections along the way.
“Everybody eats when they travel—but not like I do!
When I hit the road, every trip is crafted around eating well and uncovering the stories behind each dish, recipe, and bottle. For me, it’s about more than just flavors—it’s about understanding the culture, the tradition, and the passion that goes into every bite. And I believe there’s no better way to truly experience a place than through its food and wine.
With groups limited to 10 food and wine lovers, each journey is intimate and personalized. You’ll explore both hidden gems and renowned wine and culinary regions, blending casual local charm with high-end sophistication, immersing yourself in the authentic gastronomic and wine cultures of each location.
From deluxe transportation to thoughtfully curated experiences, every detail is handled, so you can relax and savor every moment. You’ll learn a lot, but you’ll also have plenty of fun! Our goal is for you to enjoy a unique and unforgettable experience.
Come learn, taste, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

“Best trip of our lives…no exaggeration! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Doreen and Vitis House to Spain – what an immense treat!! We were treated like VIPs with curated, insider-only access that made the entire experience very rich and memorable. Not a bad thing to say other than it went by way too fast so we just have to book another trip with Vitis House again!“
“How does one capture the beauty of a week in Spain with Doreen? I’ve traveled Spain and toured vineyards extensively; however, Vitis House and Doreen elevated the experience into memories that cannot be made independently. We savored Spain’s wine, food, history, and culture. We learned and laughed. My heart will forever be full of the memories. It is a truly unique experience. We are excited about future trips with Vitis House!”
“I have taken a class at Vitis House, received my WSET level I and experienced Spain with Doreen in the fall of 2023. Every experience has been an amazing one – especially the trip to Spain. The hotels were fabulous, the transport was easy and comfortable, the food was incredible, the learning and social opportunities for incomparable and it was so wonderful to travel with a group of people I had never met! I wish I could swing doing a trip like this every time it was offered”
