Inspired Travel's inaugural stop is the Pacific Northwest's unforgettable Walla Walla Valley, a region that is increasingly the talk of wine, culinary and adventure connoisseurs. Walla Walla is the ideal showcase for Inspired Travel, which specializes in small group Experiences, private tours and custom dining.

We surveyed the most intriguing wine producing regions of the world, looking for the perfect launch destination for Inspired Travel

Hinsdale, IL (PRWeb) February 16, 2007 -- The era of cookie-cutter wine travel is over.

Hinsdale Cellars, the essential online lifestyle destination for the wine inspired, is unveiling Inspired Travel, the premium concierge program dedicated to connoisseurs who cherish private immersion into the beauty and splendor of the world's yet unspoiled wine destinations. One such destination: the Pacific Northwest's Walla Walla Valley.

Inspired Travel leaves nary a detail unattended, delivering seamless experiences for exacting individuals. Inspired Travel shares their pursuit of the ultimate "luxury trinity" -- great wine, great food, great places.

"We surveyed the most intriguing wine producing regions of the world, looking for the perfect launch destination for Inspired Travel," said HinsdaleCellars.com managing director Steve Woodward. "The choice soon became obvious -- Washington's incomparable Walla Walla Valley."

The region is not only attracting connoisseurs. It is luring winemakers from tradition-bound parts of the world such as Christophe Baron of the acclaimed Cayuse Vineyards, who was drawn to the rocky soils of Walla Walla when uprooting from his native France more than a decade ago.

Washington native and author John Doerper confirms why we at Hinsdale Cellars Inspired Travel have chosen to roll out the Walla Walla Experience in Fall 2007. He writes, "The best wines made in Washington rank among the best wines produced anywhere in the world. ... (Yet) much of Washington's Wine Country and many of its wines are still little known, making this a perfect region to explore."

The Walla Walla Valley extends from eastern Washington State to the south, across the Oregon border. One-third of Walla Walla's vineyard land is in Oregon, in fact.

HinsdaleCellars.com columnist Bruce Schoenfeld, who has explored the region in person, writes: "To me, there's no other appellation that can boast such a concentration of wineries producing compelling wines anywhere else in Washington. Or, for that matter, Oregon."

The inspired traveler not only will find an abundance of premium Walla Walla wineries, he also will witness the steady expansion of dining options and lovely accommodations in surrounding towns.

In coming weeks, Inspired Travel will be pleased to announce specific details about its Walla Walla Experience, scheduled this Fall (or possibly late Summer), including carefully selected properties where our guests will participate in private wine tastings and attend dining events hosted by a globally acclaimed celebrity chef.

The mission in formulating our exclusive packages will be to deliver exclusive access to people and places, and seamless organization to protect our clients from typical inconveniences of travel.

Inspired Travel is committed to travel experiences emphasizing small groups (16-20 clients); pre-arranged, total-access tours; connoisseur-level wine tasting; gourmet dining; accommodations offering relaxed elegance; and the freedom to add activities or build personal itineraries to nearby points of interest beforehand or afterward.

"Our promise to our clients is clearly stated," Woodward said. "No one will come away from one of our wine travel experiences without immediately asking, 'Where are you taking us next?'"
