Be a Host For Your Own Group Trip

Organize a tour itinerary & dates exclusively for your club or organization…
As the group’s ‘host’ you can earn a commission for each paying guest or enjoy a free vacation!

Do you belong to a group, club, or organization that would be interested in traveling together? Are you an influencer, part of an alumni group, with a non-profit, or a chef & tastemaker? You can host your own group trip!

Taste Vacations and our sister company, Zephyr Adventures, have been partnering with groups and organizations to host private tours all over the globe for more than 20 years.

We can organize a tour itinerary and dates exclusive to your group, and as the group’s ‘host’ you can either earn a commission for each paying guest or enjoy a free vacation with the organization.

Since 2017, we have partnered with Brad Ring of the homebrewing publication, Brew Your Own magazine, and the winemaking publication WineMaker, on private beer and wine tours exclusively for their readership.  We plan and execute all of the logistics for each trip, from booking each guest to our expert guides leading the trip to surveying the group for feedback upon completion of the tour.

Brew Your Own and WineMaker marketed the trips to their audiences and in turn sell out the tours. Brad Ring, the publisher, also participates in each trips as the tour host.
