Welcome to Travel Overtures!

Epicurean Travel in the Sooner State

Friday, 12 March 2010 12:49

 I am excited to announce the launching of my newest division of specialty tours: Wine and Culinary Travel.  Just as Joyful Catholic Journeys brings together Catholics who enjoy traveling with like-minded persons, Travel Overtures’ Wine and Food Tours bring together people who enjoy good food, good wine, cooking, gardening and socializing while learning about the cultures, regions, and histories of those who prepare and produce the foods and wines we enjoy so dearly.

Travel Overtures' Oklahoma Wine and Culinary Tours will give you a chance to experience our Sooner state's varied cultural history from European to Native American celebrations, museums, and fairs. 

Culinary Tours will include sampling or tasting of delectable and interesting dishes and often include opportunities to visit with the chefs at unique area restaurants, participate in a hands-on cooking class, food & wine pairing class, and “Wine 101” talks. Some tours will include an agritour to see where the ingredients originate, and more.   

Wine Tours will visit wineries and sometimes their vineyards, too. Naturally, we'll visit their tasting rooms to sample various vintages and signature varieties. Tastings may be accompanied with canapes or hors d'oevres, or even a brunch, luncheon, or dinner. Some wineries will let us "bottle our own" for a fun souvenir.  

Our first tour is a Ladies Only two-day event in Oklahoma’s “Green Country”. A flyer and reservation form are available here. I hope you will join us for “A Touch of Provence in Oklahoma!”  Reserve by March 20 and take $10 dollars off the price! 

In addition to our scheduled tours, Travel Overtures can arrange individual or group customized Wine and Culinary Trail excursions – whether in Oklahoma, across the US or in Europe, Canada, and Mexico. You'll come away with more than just a full belly, satiated taste buds, and few bottles of wine; you'll have gained a deeper cultural appreciation of food and wine, their proper pairings, and the people who make them.  

For more information on upcoming regional Wine and Food Tours, give me a ring at 405.642.8139 or 405.225.8510. You can also email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

I look forward to sharing good food, good wine, good culture, and camaraderie!

Sincerely,
Melani Roewe, CITM, M. Ed.
