WHERE EVERY JOURNEY SPARKLES

Where Insider Access Meets Effervescent Travel
Why We’re Different

You don’t want another package tour. You want a passport to the extraordinary.

Be Bubbly Journeys offers intimate, luxury wine and culinary adventures through the world’s finest sparkling wine regions — from Prosecco and Franciacorta to Napa, Champagne, and beyond. But unlike big-box travel companies, we don’t book from vendor lists — we open doors.

With decades of experience as a restaurant family, wine buyer for the iconic Napa Valley Wine Train and founder of Be Bubbly Lounge, our founder has built personal relationships with the winemakers, chefs, and boutique hoteliers you'll meet. These are not public experiences — they’re insider invitations curated through trust, taste, and time.

I recently had the opportunity to join a Be Bubbly Journey to Champagne, France, organized by Erin Riley! It was a truly unforgettable experience, filled with thoughtful, one-of-a-kind moments that would have been nearly impossible to plan on my own.

Thanks to Erin’s deep knowledge and connections, we had access to Champagne houses and wineries that most travelers could only dream of visiting. Each visit offered something special—whether it was a private tasting with a winemaker, a beautifully prepared lunch, or a behind-the-scenes look at family-run estates. Each winery visit was a curated experiences that felt authentic, personal, and deeply enriching.

The culinary experiences were equally impressive. From Michelin-starred meals to hidden local gems, each restaurant, carefully chosen to reflect the spirit and flavors of the region. It was a joy to discover Champagne not just through its wines, but also through its culture and cuisine!

The care and effort Erin put into curating the itinerary made this journey an incredibly memorable one. If you’re considering one of her future trips, expect an immersive experience that brings out the best of the region. Aundrea R.
