High Vibe Escapes is a luxury boutique travel advisory creating highly customized experiences you won’t find anywhere else — through places we know and love, people we trust, and discoveries we’ve made along the way. The result is travel you won’t find on Viator… delivered with white-glove service and a smile.
We love bringing people together to create unforgettable moments in some of the most beautiful places in the world, likely over a great bottle… or three. And because we believe the best recommendations come from experience, we’ve done it all first — so your trip feels seamless, elevated, and entirely your own.
We visit countless wineries and spend time with the wine makers, to find the ones who's stories will leave you inspired. We find the boat captain who turns a beautiful day into the one you talk about for years. We stay at the hotels, we discover the hidden places to watch sunset with a glass of champagne from a roof top in florence, and seek out the people and places that make a destination truly once in a lifetime.
You name it, we’ve experienced it — so you can experience it better.
Our founder has lived on and off in Italy for the past three years, developing relationships with winemaking families and discovering the places that rarely make it onto a traditional itinerary.
We specialize in wine and food travel, throughout Italy and throughout the world, as well as unique luxury experiences all over the globe - from St. Barths to Asia and everything in between. We also do wellness experiences (to balance out the wine) and are launching our Padel Travel experiences in 2026. We put together occasional wine dinners and tastings to introduce you to our Italian winemakers, and we fully plan every detail of your trip, with room to sleep in or add in another tasting of course. For those of you wanting to stay a little longer, we also do longer term stays abroad, because our favorite decision are often made over an extra bottle on a special evening.
