The United States
A legendary road trip destination, the majestic United States is synonymous with the freedom of the open road. Embark on epic drives in the breathtaking West, charming New England, the fascinating South, and beyond.
Everyone’s perfect trip looks a little different.
We’ll design your itinerary around you (learn about our process), but to whet your appetite here’s a tiny taste of what you can expect to experience on a luxury United States trip with us.
The Southwest.
Whether gazing in wonder at its endless deserts and starry night skies, hiking through mystical mountains, or savoring eclectic regional cuisine, opportunities for adventure abound in the rugged and colorful southwest.
New England.
Rightly renowned for its history, charm, and scenery, experience quintessential New England and its mouthwatering cuisine, from quaint villages on the picturesque coast of Maine to the rolling hills of Vermont.
Pacific Northwest.
A stunning place to escape into nature. Enjoy the incredible food and wine of Oregon and Washington against a backdrop of rolling hills, majestic peaks, lush forest, and rugged coastline.
The Rockies.
The Rockies and surrounding region have long been a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. With magnificent landscapes, expansive skies, and numerous national parks, the mountainous western part of the USA is a treasure to behold.
California.
Home to world-famous cities and sights, the best of California is often found in its lesser-visited gems. Cruise along its breathtaking coastal highways (on and off the beaten path), explore pristine nature reserves, and wind your way through its irresistible wine valleys, awe-inspiring forests, and peaceful deserts.
The South.
The vast American South is a land of striking contrasts, from Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains to Louisiana’s lush bayous. While the scenery and local culture vary dramatically from state to state, throughout the region you’ll encounter fascinating culture and some of the country’s most irresistible cuisine.
“During one trip to Maine, we spent a day hiking along rocky cliffs, bouncing between quaint villages, and visiting historic lighthouses (we of course stopped for an amazing seafood lunch along the way!). Later on we enjoyed an evening in downtown Portland and lingered over dinner and drinks at a farm-to-table restaurant.”
— Ashley LaBoda
Unique accommodations.
When it comes to accommodations there is no “one size fits all.”
We typically suggest small, boutique properties with tasteful style and great service, though sometimes it makes sense to stay at a larger luxury hotel (or a cozy lodge)!
For your bespoke trip, we’ll make personalized suggestions based on your unique taste and priorities.
