Just experienced the NEWLY launched Dry Creek Kitc

Just experienced the NEWLY launched Dry Creek Kitchen Studio Cellar Dining Experience, and it was an absolute culinary delight! 🍽️✨

Chef Charlie Palmer, Executive Chef Shane McAnelly, and Pastry Chef Taylor Kelley outdid themselves, creating an intimate, fun, and delicious meal paired perfectly with wines curated by Jon Macklem. 🍷

For groups of 6+ guests, this unique dining adventure is priced at $295 per person, including 7 exquisite courses, each with a fabulous wine pairing. This is perfect for special occasions, foodie gatherings, birthdays, or graduations! 🎉

Bravo to Chef Charlie, Shane, Taylor, Wine Director Jon, and GM Dan for this extraordinary experience. If you love food, supporting amazing local restaurants, and unique wine pairings, this is for you!

I just returned from a fantastic stay at MacArthur

I just returned from a fantastic stay at MacArthur Place Hotel & Spa in downtown Sonoma! 🌿✨

From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning six-acre estate with its intimate gardens, winding paths, and cozy fire pits. The luxurious guest rooms, featuring heated travertine floors and outdoor showers, made my stay incredibly comfortable. One of my top highlights was the perfectly refreshing pool, where a glass (or two) of Veuve Clicquot turned a fabulous afternoon into pure bliss. This luxury hotel is dog-friendly, and Ernie loved it just as much as I did! From the moment we arrived, she was pampered with her own dog bed, treats, and gifts, ensuring MacArthur Place pampers both pets and parents alike.

Daily breakfasts at Layla Restaurant, pool-side bites, and an incredible dinner showcased Layla’s excellent service, relaxing atmosphere, impressive wine list, and delightful team.

As if that wasn’t enough, I indulged in an afternoon at their newly renovated spa with a Hot Stone Massage, followed by a dip in the hot tub and then relaxing poolside in a cabana. The cabana experience includes a bottle of Veuve Clicquot and a delicious charcuterie board.

If you’re planning a trip to wine country, MacArthur Place is an absolute must! As your FORA Pro Advisor, I would LOVE to book your next stay here.

This visit to Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach on the Hyatt Hotels Travel Agent Trip has been an exquisite transition from the bustling city of Bangkok to the serene Thai beachfront. The welcome by the hotel GM Ranjeet and his wonderful team set a hospitable tone right from the start, followed by a delicious lunch at La Cucina, one of the four on-site restaurants.

The king deluxe swim-up room is truly remarkable, offering direct pool access right from a beautifully appointed space, complete with a rain shower and a large soaking tub for ultimate relaxation.

Dinner at the oceanfront Fish Club restaurant featured stunning views, delightful cocktails, fine wine, and an array of fresh seafood and Thai cuisine.

A heartfelt thanks to Hyatt Hotels, Global Account Director Sandy Dutra, and the Andaz Hotel Pattaya team for orchestrating such a magical experience.
