A wonderful memory captured at Polkura Winery in Chile.
We are avid lovers of both travel and wine. Between us we have visited more than 85 countries and tasted wines from across the globe.
AdVINEtures is an award-winning blog that shares the stories of our travels and the wines we enjoy along the way. We hope to bring alive the excitement we feel when visiting fascinating places through story-telling, photos and videos. We will tell you about the wines we encounter with a background about the region, the grapes, tasting notes, and the people who make the wine.
Allison is the VP, Communications & CSR for the Flight Centre Travel Group (www.flightcentre.ca), a regular travel contributor for CTV , and a published author and photographer. Chris is a former Private Equity Fund Manager and is a published author on www.seekingalpha.com & www.Investedcentral.com.
Both 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. AdVINEtures is also a monthly contributor to The Daily Hive.
We hope you will enjoy reading about our AdVINEtures as much as we enjoy living them.
