Such a lovely welcome to Dana Point thanks to the team at Hilton !
Everyone has been so kind and accommodating. Even with an unexpected power outage in the neighborhood, our stay has been nothing but splendid. We met some incredible young horse trainers on the rooftop bar, ran along the beach, and enjoyed a breakfast in their full service dining room. 100% recommend staying here with your family or loved ones if you need an affordable and quality place to stay near the beach.

I need to travel more in the good ol’ U.S. of A … but it’s always so nice going back home to the Pacific Northwest.
My most recent adventure included stops in Portland and the Willamette Valley where I got to hang with loved ones and drink plenty of Pinot.

✨ Highlights:
Purple Hands Tasting Experience Purple Hands Winery
Farm to Table dinner at Maysara Winery & Momtazi Vineyard
Vintage shopping in Portland
Bubbles, oysters, & ice cream.. oh my!!
Dinner & a view at Amaterra Wines (10 mins north of downtown Portland)
Back in the saddle with my mom 🐎
And elevated flying experiences thanks to Capital One and American Airlines ✈️

Have you heard of Under Canvas? It’s the best way to camp, IMO. They’ve got locations set up across the States, including the Columbia Gorge. Reach for more info!

I’ll be writing about my experience at Maysara Winery & Momtazi Vineyard in my substack account… link in bio 💕 🥂

FORA Charlotte Chapter ✨ ✈️
Being a part of a community was something I didn’t necessarily imagine when I first entered the travel space. We’re a diverse group of travel aficionados supporting each other and growing side by side; how NEAT is that?

Every month, we take the convos out of the chat with our meet ups and workshops, and the last one was held at a fellow advisors brick and mortar travel store in Camp North End !

In typical Keely’s Wine Routes fashion, I poured wine and chatted about my favorite vineyards and producers, and highlighted FORA partner hotels in those regions. One of my favorite things about wine is its connection to regional culture and how easy it is to hold a conversation around it; this gathering was yet another prime example of that.

Big thanks to our chapter leader .softcheck and for making this happen! Can’t wait for next month 🌍

Though my Portuguese experience was wine focused, the itinerary also leaned heavily into gastronomy. And rightly so! Food and wine go hand it hand, and you cannot experience a wine fully until there’s a bite or plate in front of you.

Southern Portugal is filled with fresh seafood, meat, vegetables, bread, and olive oil. Over 8 days, I never had a repeat dish- a feat I consider impressive.

May I present… the highlights: 🍽️

•bread in quilted warming blankets, served alongside olive oil and/or stew
•meats and cheeses to start off literally every meal
•Migas, a mashed potato-like consistency made up on bread crumbs, garlic, herbs, and green vegetables
•Pastel de Nata, a slightly sweet egg custard that serves as a perfect snack or breakfast treat
•Fio de Oros, thin strands of egg yolk and sugar
•Skate (similar to stingray) best when added to a pot of potatoes and lemon broth
•Black Pig (free-range Iberian pigs who eat acorns)
•Ox Tail
•Beef Cheek
•Pig Tongue
•Licor de Bolota (sweet liqueur from Acorns)

I’ll share some restaurant visits in my stories, but feel free to DM me for specific recommendations ✨
