A wonderful memory captured at Polkura Winery in Chile.
Welcome to AdVINEtures, where our love for travel and wine comes to life. Between us, we’ve explored over 85 countries, tasting wines from every corner of the globe. Through our award-winning blog, we share the stories of our journeys, bringing the excitement of discovering new places and wines directly to you.
Our passion drives us to capture the essence of each destination through engaging storytelling, high quality photography, and immersive videos. We delve into the wines we encounter, providing insights into the regions, the grapes, tasting notes, and the remarkable people behind the wines.
Allison brings over 30 years of experience in PR and Communications, including 20 years as VP of Communications & CSR for the Flight Centre Travel Group. As a published author and photographer, she regularly contributes to CTV and the Daily Hive. Chris, a former Private Equity Fund Manager, is also a published author with works featured on www.seekingalpha.com & www.Investedcentral.com.
Both of us have attained WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) Level 2 certificates, along with Canadian Wine Scholar designations (CWS), and Wines of BC Ambassador certification. AdVINEtures was awarded a 2022 Wine Travel Award, and has been named a finalist for the 2019 Born Digital Wine Awards and the 2018 Millesima Blog Awards.
We hope you will enjoy reading about our AdVINEtures as much as we enjoy living them.
