“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”
