First blog ever written and ever read

Ok, out there I have heard about blogging for too long now and have to enter the 21st century and actually write one. Let me tell you a little about the company


The adventures of Good Taste Tours began in January 2008 when I wanted to bring my 20 years of event planning -- most of it in the hospitality industry and my love of food and wine together. They say do what you love and a vision for culinary tours was born. I envisioned creating a culinary experience in Virginia's wine country particulary Loudoun county wineries and creating food and wine pairings at these wineries. In addition, I wanted to use some unique restaurants, cooking classes and culinary events in the area to enhance the experience and create a truly gastronomic experience. Throw in transportation, gorgeous scenery, good conversation and a friendly smile and Good Taste Tours was born.

So, my first tour was in June with a private group and they had a ball. In fact they have already been in touch with me to plan another tour. I also wanted to offer public tours so couples or single people could join a tour and have a great experience too. My first public tour was in July and it was dubbed (to this day) the energy bus because of all the ideas and networking coming out of that wonderful journey.

Anyway, here we are in late October and I have had several more tours. I also decided I want to be able to handle small groups (2 - 7 people) without having to outsource the transportation so I bought a mini van last week. I love that vehicle, however, the first few days it felt like I was driving a "house" every time I was behind the wheel. Now I am much more comfortable.

So, if anyone would like to post to this blog I welcome your comments, thoughts and questions. I will try to post often to share my life with Good Taste Tours. Take care.
