Wine, Food, and Culture: The Journeys Continue

Joyce Shumate and Terrie Raposo

At last December’s Let’s Travel Club meeting, Terrie Raposo, a Quail Creek resident and Arizona travel ambassador for WineNot Boutique Travel, presented journeys through Portugal and Italy. That presentation highlighted small group international wine and gastronomy tours organized by a female-owned small business in Nashua, N.H., voted the Best Wine Shop in New Hampshire for 12 consecutive years! Her presentation was well attended and very popular.

Terrie will be presenting again at the Let’s Travel Club’s August meeting as the journeys continue to Spain and beyond. Join us to learn about “The Essence of Northern Spain: Wine, Culture, and Scenic Beauty,” a journey through Northern Spain. Where wine flows like poetry and gastronomy delights the senses, which is known as the “Napa of Spain” offers world-class red wines and amazing cuisine.

Visit the Castilian cities of Madrid and Burgos and the small towns and villages along the River Duero, marvel at both modern and medieval architectural and historical sights, and tour the Prado Museum. Enjoy traditional Castilian cuisine, tapas, and Spain’s iconic dish, paella. Join Terrie and her husband on this amazing trip. There’s something for everyone in this one unforgettable experience! The dates for this private group tour are Oct. 4-11, 2025.

This presentation also includes a brief discussion of other tours available.

You can learn more on Aug. 16 at 2 p.m. in the Kino Center, Ocotillo and Mesquite Rooms. Special savings are available for Let’s Travel Club members.
