Natalie brings over 12 years of expertise in crafting unforgettable travel experiences, specializing in luxury wine and culinary journeys throughout Europe. As the Founder of Joy of Wine Journeys, a proud TRAVELLUSTRE partner, she has mastered the art of designing intimate, authentic travel experiences that go far beyond the typical tour. Her philosophy is simple: exceptional travel should feature exclusive access to family-owned wineries, Michelin-starred dining, hidden gems, carefully curated wine selections, and the freedom to explore at your own pace solo or with small, discerning groups.

​

Having traveled to more than 30 countries across 6 continents, Natalie has developed a deep, insider knowledge of the world's most celebrated wine regions. Her personal highlights include leading private guided tours through the vineyards of Tuscany, Piedmont, Burgundy and Champagne. Now splitting her time between Atlanta and Italy and France, she maintains deep relationships with winemakers, chefs, and local artisans.

​

Natalie's approach to travel planning is grounded in a fundamental belief: the most meaningful journeys happen when you escape the tourist mentality and embrace genuine connection. She curates every detail—from securing access to wineries that typically don't welcome visitors to coordinating with renowned chefs to craft seasonal menus—ensuring your trip becomes an experience that stays with you for a lifetime. Her clients consistently praise her attention to detail, extensive local knowledge, and ability to create moments of pure joy and discovery.
