Wine and Chocolate

Ten Reasons To Plan a Day with Tastings and Tours

The first Prayer, Wine, Chocolate Retreat was a huge success.  One of the reasons for its success was the fantastic service of Tastings and Tours.  From the very beginning, the owner, Linda Jeffreys, worked with me to create a very unique experience for our group. I told her my vision, and she made it happen.  The driver was more than a driver – he was a tour guide, a camera man and a member of the party!  The relationship Tastings and Tours has with the wineries we visited were clearly familial. As I planned this day, experienced it and reflected upon it, I could not stop thinking of all the reasons they should be hired again!  Here are just some of the reasons to hire Tastings and Tours!

10 REASONS TO PLAN A DAY WITH TASTINGS AND TOURS

1. Bar Crawls are so last year . . . or last decade . . . or just not your thing.

A Tastings and Tour Day out brings the fun of a bar crawl some major class.

2. Your Annual Family Picnic or Cousin Party needs a new twist.

My roommate from college has awesome cousin parties – and our family has discussed the idea before.  I could totally see getting family members to wear an ugly Christmas sweater and signing up for this fun day.  It would be a festive blast!!!!

3. You and your spouse want to “day-date”, but neither of you want to drive.

Having someone drive my husband and I around really feels like a luxury.  I can’t wait to take him on one of these tours!

4. You are planning a 30th, 40th or even 50th birthday party.

This is such a fun way to celebrate someone’s special day.  It’s also probably a much easier way than planning an entire party!  I highly recommend this!

5. You want to plan a work party, but your goal is to not be Michael Scott from The Office.

Tastings and Tours has experience planning corporate events.  You’ll be the coolest boss in the world if you plan this for your employees!

6. You are down the shore and want to plan a fun day where sand doesn’t get everywhere.

Did you know the Cape May area has several vineyards, a brewery and a distillery?  What a great way to spice up your next shore vacation!

7. You want to get together with friends, but most of you are too tired to do a girls’ night out.

Maybe this is just me and my friends . . .

8. You love wine, he loves beer.

I’m already excited about the possibility of planning a group date day!

9. You love history and wine (or beer)!

Tastings and Tours can even arrange tours and tastings at historic landmarks such as Fonthill Castle in Bucks County! I am so excited to try this!  My husband and I both love history – and what girl doesn’t want to go to a castle!??

10. You live in or near Cape May, New Jersey or Bucks, Lehigh, Berks County PA; want to feel like and be treated as a VIP.

Whether you are planning a bachlorette party; a joint bachelor/bachlorette party or just want to get a group of friends together – this is such a fun, easy to plan option!

    Looks like such a great way to spend the day. I had no idea that wine tastings were offered in Cape May, I may have to get one for my parent. What a fun gift idea. Thanks!

When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger When I was 15 I realized that I was equating anger with self-confidence… and then I became very aware of how angry people had hurt me, but sad people were not hurtful.
At one point I remember thinking… “who do you want to be? A person that is hurtful… or someone else? if you can choose sadness instead of anger, do it. You don’t want to hurt people.”
I don’t know if Saint John Paul II really said this quote… but I do believe it’s solid advice when people we interact with do upsetting things. 

Choose sadness over anger… and pray for the people and about the situations that are upsetting you.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of th In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to live.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. 
Amen.

These individuals shape your habits, energy, and future by acting as a reflection of your own choices and environment. 

I don’t know who Jim Rohn is, but my guess is Saint Francis DeSales would agree with him.

“What does God want me to do??!!!@ Ever ask this “What does God want me to do??!!!@

Ever ask this question?
I feel like I’ve been asking it my whole life.

Some of the best advice I have gotten have been from Saints.

God has a plan for each of us. We are all called to holiness… but we do not all go by the same path (wise words from Saint Katharine Drexel).

The quotes I included in the Be Yourself Journal are actionable, doable and clear.
