European Travel, Culture, Food And Wine Specialist

Welcome to the world of immersive and unforgettable travel experiences! I am  Gina Donati,  a passionate and seasoned travel advisor with a relentless focus on culinary delights, exceptional wines, luxury travel, small ships, river cruising, and rich cultural encounters.

With years of expertise in the travel industry, I take great pride in crafting tailor-made journeys that leave my clients with cherished memories and a deep appreciation for the world's diverse cultures and cuisines.

Culinary and Wine Expertise:

As a culinary enthusiast, I believe a well-crafted meal can be a gateway to understanding a destination's history and traditions. I have extensively explored the culinary scenes of numerous countries, learning from renowned chefs, local cooks, and food artisans. My intimate knowledge of the best restaurants, street food gems, and hidden culinary gems ensures that every client embarks on a gastronomic journey that tantalizes their taste buds and sparks joy in their hearts.

To complement the culinary experience, I also possess a keen understanding of wines from various regions.

From the vineyards of Napa Valley to the chateaus of Bordeaux and the wineries of Tuscany, I curate wine-focused trips that allow my clients to savor the finest vintages, indulge in wine tastings, and learn from expert sommeliers.Luxury Travel with a Personal Touch: My dedication to excellence and meticulous attention to detail make luxury travel a seamless and unforgettable experience. Whether it's booking a stay at an opulent five-star resort, arranging private guided tours to exclusive landmarks, or organizing intimate encounters with local artisans, I strive to exceed my client's expectations and provide unparalleled luxury travel experiences.

Small Ships and River Cruising:

The allure of intimate small-ship cruises and serene river journeys cannot be overstated. Having personally explored various small ships and river cruises, I offer expert advice on selecting the perfect vessels that cater to specific preferences. These journeys allow clients to witness breathtaking landscapes, connect with smaller, less-visited ports, and embrace a relaxed and immersive travel style.

Culture Immersion:

To me, culture is the heart and soul of every travel experience. I firmly believe that understanding a destination's cultural heritage fosters a profound connection between travelers and the places they visit. From arranging local homestays to organizing cultural workshops, music performances, and art exhibitions, I ensure that my clients immerse themselves in the essence of each locale and form authentic connections with the people they meet along the way.

Why Choose Me as Your Travel Advisor:

As your dedicated travel advisor, I promise to go above and beyond to curate a personalized itinerary that aligns perfectly with your preferences, interests, and aspirations. My wealth of knowledge and industry connections allow me to secure exclusive perks, upgrades, and insider access, ensuring you receive the most exceptional travel experiences.

So, whether you dream of sipping wine amidst rolling vineyards, cruising along picturesque rivers, indulging in culinary masterpieces, or discovering the hidden treasures of vibrant cultures, I am here to transform your travel dreams into reality.

The Best Honeymoon Ever
Reviewed By Nick - San Diego | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
My wife and I wanted to do a lengthy honeymoon in Europe, and Gina absolutely delivered. 22 days, 7 cities, 2 countries, so many moving parts between flights, ubers, private transport, hotels, ferrys, and booking restaurants and tours. Everything with 5-star and done to perfection. Couldn't recommend booking with Gina enough, she really did make our honeymoon so special and stress free
Gina Donati responded
"I am so happy to hear that you had an amazing time in Italy and Greece. I am happy that I could accommodate your special trip of a lifetime! Salute!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

THE Go-To Travel Consultant
Reviewed By Jay & Jocelyn - Seattle WA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We have worked with Gina on several European vacations including trips to Italy, France and Greece, and we would never use anyone else to help us plan our vacations. She does extensive research, finds amazing hotels, arranges tours and activities that are fantastic, and manages to whatever budget you have and whatever kind of trip you want -- whether you want a 5 star hotel in Paris, an Agroturismo in Tuscany or a beach vacation in the Greek Islands, Gina knows it all and finds the best places!
Gina Donati responded
"Thank you, Jay and Jocelyn! I appreciate your confidence in me for arranging your honeymoon! Regrettably, I understand the challenges you both faced due to the airline issues. The period was quite hectic, and circumstances spiraled beyond our control. Your patience is truly valued, but what brings me the most joy is that you were able to relish Italy, Sicily, and Paris. Undoubtedly, it was an exceptional and memorable journey!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fantastic Trip, so many venues and parts of France
Reviewed By LISA - PORT ANGELES | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Gina is amazing. So easy to talk to and, just from a few conversations, was able to determine exactly what we would enjoy on our second part of our trip in Alsace. I haven't used a travel agent in decades and found this experience so valuable. She was so helpful and had wonderful suggestions. Just LOVE her!! Will never plan a trip without her help again!
