Valerie-QuintanillaWelcome to Girl’s Gotta Drink! Ready to start your Italy travel planning?

Ciao – I’m Val! In 2013, I moved to Barolo wine country from Denver, Colorado. A PR and Marketing pro by trade, wine has long been my passion. So, when I traded the Rockies for the Alps, I paired vocation and passion to make my site a go-to Piedmont region travel resources.

Starting with daily Barolo wine tours, I soon added custom Piedmont travel programs. Today my Italy travel planning services include my signature daily Barolo wine tours, speciality Italy travel programs (activities, lodging, transportation, etc), destination weddings, and more.

My content helps you start, then with my amazing team here in Alba, Italy and our network across the Bel Paese, I custom fit unforgettable experiences in Italy. Click to start your Italy travel planning!
