I'm Julie Beach, an enthusiastic lover of wine, devoted to the joy of wine travel and the thrill of uncovering new and exciting regions. My wanderlust has led me to explore renowned wine regions worldwide – from the enchanting vineyards of France and Italy to the expansive landscapes of Australia and Argentina. Yet, my heart also beats for the hidden treasures within American wine culture, with a keen focus on the lesser-known gems in New York, Michigan, and Arizona.
With a WSET Level 2 Wine Certification from the esteemed Napa Valley Wine Academy, earned with distinction, I've embarked on a mission to share my passion through Guided Wino. Guided Wino is crafted to guide you not only in planning the perfect wine getaway but also in immersing yourself deeply into the unique culture of each wine region. Guide Wino will also help you understand where to stay, where to eat, and explore other local attractions, creating a well-rounded travel experience. From custom itineraries for the region to insider tips on enhancing your visit, I aim to make your journey as delightful as the wines you'll discover.
My goal is to empower you. By following Guided Wino, you'll possess a confident understanding of the various region's rich history, primary grape varieties, and the best spots to savor every wine type and style. I want you to walk into any tasting room with knowledge, confidence, and the ability to take your tasting experience and wine knowledge to the next level.
Join me on this journey through the world of wine. Let's explore, savor, and elevate our appreciation for the diverse cultures and flavors that make each wine region a unique and unforgettable experience.
