We have been speaking and consulting internationally for individuals and companies since 1995 on two parallel topics, environmental design and natural healing. In 2005 we moved to Wine Country and through writing books about the region found ourselves in the tour business, so we've added a unique Team Training presentation, Wine Survivor! It combines wine touring with skill building and a chance for your team to be cooperatively innovative while improving their tasting endurance. If you think your team would benefit from this please use the form below.

Napa & Sonoma, A Love Affair in Maps
Ralph & Lahni have an interesting perspective on wine country, it's a love affair really, a passion for the place that has resulted in eight books, numerous Apps containing thousands of beautiful photos, and a huge number of tours with clients from around the world. They bring those insights to the audience in an entertaining and educational style using photos, maps and a wonderful collection of stories.
Ralph is often asked how he became so knowledgeable on the subject and he explains, "Napa and Sonoma has more wine educators than anyplace else on the planet. Whenever possible I take the winery tour with my clients, and I incorporate that in our articles, books and Apps. You do that long enough and some of it sticks, hopefully the good stuff."
A speech can also include a sample wine tasting, and there is nothing like getting glasses into the hands of the audience to make everyone feel at home visiting wine country.
The presentation combines the colorful history and personalities, insights about the unique qualities that make this a world class agricultural region, plus the evolution of the various schools of wine making, into an entertaining narrative. The purpose of the talk is to make the experience accessible and enjoyable so that when people visit they get the most from their experience and feel at home in Wine Country.
