“Carol Wolniakowski of Cuvée Wine Travel, accompanied my small group of 8 wine lovers on the AMA Waterways Colors of Provence Tour from Avignon to Lyon. Carol was integral in organizing the group’s arrangements as a whole and working with each guest with regards to unique travel needs, payment, pre- and post-cruise excursions, and comfort on board the ship. Her attention to detail is second to none. One of many of my personal highlights include the outstanding dinner at “The Chef’s Table” on board the AMA Kristina when our group was treated to exceptional cuisine, wines and service.

Carol’s enthusiasm for travel is electrifying and everyone in the group enjoyed dining together each day, sharing excursion experiences, lively conversation and taking advantage of the amenities on the ship – I can honestly say that Carol was a factor in our group’s cohesiveness and lasting friendships that occurred during and after the cruise. I highly recommend Carol Wolniakowski to any winery or individual wanting someone to offer and lead a superior experience in wine travel.”

“I was fortunate enough to have Carol plan two trips for me, and I just booked a third trip for our family to celebrate my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday. My very first river cruise was planned by Carol - it was incredible! A highlight was an amazing 6-course wine pairing dinner with rare Grand Cru wines. The dinner was educational as well as delicious! Definitely one of my most memorable travel experiences. She also planned my trip to California wine country. From the moment we landed, hopped into our rented convertible and headed straight to our 1st tasting, I knew that it was going to be a fantastic trip.  We never waited in line for a tasting through the entire vacation. Carol’s attention to the detail and quality of each tasting location was readily apparent. We had a beautiful seated tasting overlooking a vineyard, a tasting and food pairing in a stunning little Parisian parlor like setting, and wine cellar tours. The absolute highlight of the trip was a private wine dinner in a cave that Carol had arranged. This trip was definitely above and beyond my expectations, and it will be hard to top.”

"Two of my most memorable vacations have been planned by Carol. Both trips were girlfriend spa getaways. Carol selected amazing spa resorts for our stay. Michelin starred restaurants, impeccable rooms and the most amazing spas I have been to. We rode bikes to a quaint coffee shop in town for breakfast, then rode to nearby wineries for tastings. One night we had a fabulous dinner at a chef's table where the chef actually escorted me to the restroom! We had such a relaxing and rejuvenating break. Carol handled all the details from start to finish - this is definitely the way to travel! I am planning to book a third wine country trip with Cuvée this year."

“Carol has been planning our trips to wine country and Europe for years.  Carol makes each trip unique and caters to the tastes of each member of our small group. Carol has discovered gems I never knew existed. Her insider access to cult wineries has exposed us to a wine country few people get to see. Some highlights include picnic lunches, tasting with winery owners, blending our own wine, and private cave dinners. We have visited some of the most exclusive wineries in the world and met amazing people along the way.  I look forward to our next trip soon!”

"Napa Valley under Carol's guidance made our experience exceptional!  We tried to build a Napa trip around a wedding we were attending in the area. Since we were first-timers to this beautiful region, we chose to use an expert to advise us where to go, where to stay and how to get the most of our short stay.  Needless to say, Carol did not fall short.  Carol possessed the utmost of knowledge of the area and wineries. She gave us an itemized itinerary and set up our appointments so we had to invest no time in planning the events.  We had exceptional service and due to Carol's solid relationships with personnel, we were provided personalized attention at every winery or attraction we visited.  Carol even provided us with further activities in case we needed more adventure along the way.  When we had a few hours to kill and needed a great place to visit, I just referred back to my customized plan and there it was listed as an extra perk and feature to try out.  I loved the professionalism and the knowledge our concierge had.  Thank you to Carol for helping us make the most out of our stay."

"Carol is the perfect person to plan your wine vacation.  She was able to pair the wines that I like to the perfect wineries and vineyards with breathtaking views.  For an introduction to Napa Valley, I highly recommend that you call Carol!  Because of her I had the best experience and can't wait to return."
