DMR Travel

Travel planning is about more than putting together an itinerary. It’s knowing which places are worth your time, which experiences are worth planning ahead for, and how to make the pieces of a trip work together.

I’ve been doing that since 2007, when I founded DMR Travel.

I’m a European Travel Specialist, with WSET Level 3 and French Wine Scholar credentials. I’ve spent decades traveling throughout Europe, with a particular focus on its wine regions, food, and culture.

That experience shapes how I plan trips. I don’t believe in simply checking the major sights off a list. I want to understand what you’re interested in, how you like to travel, and what will make the trip feel like yours. Then I use my knowledge, experience, and network to put the right pieces together.

Wine travel is a particular specialty. Through years of working in Europe’s wine regions, I’ve developed relationships with guides, producers, and local experts — and that perspective also led me to create The Cellar Guest, a personally vetted directory of private wine guides across Europe.

Whether you’re planning a wine-focused trip through Burgundy, a food and culture itinerary through Italy, or a more wide-ranging European journey, DMR Travel handles the details so you can spend your time looking forward to the trip.

Good travel planning should make a trip feel effortless — not because there’s nothing behind it, but because someone experienced has taken care of what’s behind the scenes.

The Cellar Guest

After years of planning wine travel and building relationships across Europe’s wine regions, I kept running into the same problem: travelers who knew their way around wine were looking for something more, but the guides who could deliver it weren’t easy to find.

So I built The Cellar Guest.

It’s a personally vetted directory of private wine guides where every guide has wine industry credentials or experience, and real relationships with producers, growers, and family estates.

These are the people who make a wine region worth visiting in the first place.

The Cellar Guest is a separate project from DMR Travel, but it comes from the same place: years of experience, a lot of time spent in Europe’s wine regions, and knowing that the right person on the ground can change an entire trip.
