"If you have ever thought about going on a winery trip, Tracie Pabst, owner of The Spirited Grape, is definitely the way to go.  I have gone on three winery trips, two with Tracie, and one that she planned for me. Each trip was effortless, included fabulous and very different types of wineries, and virtually every detail was taken care of!  Tracie even plans great options for food and lodging. Tracie is extremely knowledgeable about wine and has a personal relationship with many of the wineries. We were often able to meet with the wine maker, making it a very personal and memorable experience.  Tracie is friendly, flexible, and will help you experience the kind of trip you are dreaming of.  If you are looking for a great winery experience, I highly recommend any trip that Tracie puts together!"

"Tracie is an absolutely phenomenal planner. Her relationships with the various winemakers we visited made our trip to Walla Walla unforgettable. Tracie ensures that all details are well thought out; our Airbnb location relative to the wineries, efficient routes to wineries to maximize our time and visit as many places as possible. If you need anything wine related - trip planning, wine pairing tips, or connections to wineries - Tracie is your expert! I cannot recommend The Spirited Grape enough."

"Tracie was an absolute joy, and really knows her stuff! We had an incredible experience wine tasting in Jerome, Arizona for a bachelorette party with her as our guide. Tracie provided us with an overview of the town's unique history, as well as recommendations for good places to eat and shop. I'm always wanting to learn more about wine, and sometimes the process can be daunting, not knowing what questions to ask or what to look for in a good wine. Tracie enlightened us with each wine tasting, helping us all identify what we like and how to choose wines for a tasting. She was warm, personable, fun, professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend booking a wine experience with Tracie!"

"I was lucky enough to get to experience one of Tracie's trips to Jerome, AZ, and I can't recommend her enough! Not only did she find a wide variety of tasting opportunities, but she also helped me curate each tasting to my own personal preferences by identifying wines we knew I would like while also encouraging me to try some outside of my normal comfort zone. Tracie's knowledge (of not only wine but the whole town we were visiting), fun and personable attitude, and attention to detail made the whole experience unforgettable. I highly recommend booking a wine experience with Tracie!"

"Tracie set up the entire trip for us – all the wineries, restaurants, fun events, and even found us the most amazing place to stay. We had an incredible time, all the fun without the stress of trying to figure out where to go. My favorite part of the trip was the experience of visiting the wineries. I love wine so that’s not a stretch, however, every place we went we felt like movie stars. At each winery, we either got a private tasting, we were able to meet the winemaker, or we tasted vintages typically reserved for wine club members. At three wineries we received a wine glass to take home, a nice memento of our experience.

We do not have the opportunity to go on vacation often, so I always put a lot of effort into planning a memorable experience. I feel like this wine country trip that Tracie created was so much better than anything I could have planned for myself. It was exactly what we were hoping for - fun, memorable, and planned perfectly."

"Where do I even start?!? First off Tracie is amazing.
Not only as a wonderful, caring, fun person but she is so well versed in wine and taught me a lot. Before I met Tracie I thought I had a sophisticated taste in wine. After spending a the day with Tracie in Jerome I learned so much I didn’t know I didn’t know. Tracie was able to help me understand the differences in wines and help me choose the what I like. She curated a tasting for me that was perfect at the original Jerome Winery. I would HIGHLY recommend Tracie and her services. Going to wineries can be extremely intimidating and Tracie is able to create an amazing experience for you.

Utilize Tracie for her knowledge and experience with wine and you’ll make a life long friend along the way!"

"Not only does Tracie know everything there is to know about wine, she is also an amazing planner! I am very new to wine, so her help with choosing which wines to try at each winery was critical. She also researched all the wineries in town to ensure we would go to the best ones. Finally, she is such a fun person! I had a wonderful time experiencing the wineries with her. It will be hard to go to a winery without her. Highly recommend!"

"I have had the pleasure of learning about wine from Tracie for the last couple of years. It has not only been very informational but also so much fun. Tracie's knowledge of wine is incredible, but paired with her exuberant personality the experience is always priceless. I am so excited and looking forward to going on a wine experience trip with her next year. Thank you Tracie for for all that you have done to make our wine tastings such a huge success. You are a joy to be around and I am more then grateful that I have been able to enjoy all of our time together."

"Tracie put an amazing itinerary together for me at a recent trip to Temecula, Ca. I’m an amateur to wine tasting but I do know I love red wines. I explained what I was looking for. She even set me up on a couple tours where I met a couple winery owners Phil Bailey from Bailey Vineyards and Dave from Vindemia wines. I learned a lot. I’m looking forward to asking Tracie to organize another trip for me. I highly recommend using her services."
