A Wine Tourist's Guide - Wine Trail Traveler

About the Authors

A Wione Journey book Terry and Kathy began second careers as wine travel writers, establishing Wine Trail Traveler in 2007. By the fall of 2013, they visited 1,000 wineries and vineyards in four of Italy’s wine regions, France, Croatia, the Republic of Georgia, England, Wales, New Zealand, Ontario and Quebec in Canada and 20 states. Along the way they have taken thousands of photographs and notes and written hundreds of articles. They discovered every winery has a story to tell and the Sullivans want to help get their stories out.

Formal wine education included intermediate level course from Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) and online winemaking courses through Washington State University. In 2009, Terry and Kathy crafted a barrel of Cabernet Sauvignon at Virginia’s Vint Hill Craft Winery and at Tin Lizzie Wineworks in Maryland. During Spring 2010 they helped to plant an experimental vineyard at Tin Lizzie Wineworks. They made another barrel of Cabernet Sauvignon at Tin Lizzie Wineworks in the fall of 2012.
