Think you’ve got mad blending skills? Find out (or learn some new ones) in Paso Robles, Calif. at the luxurious Allegretto Vineyard Resort during the Distillery Tour and Mixology Class.

The three-day, two-night escape includes private tours of three Central Coast distilleries where local ingredients are showcased in curated blends, plus luxury transportation and a mixology class at the resort during which guests learn the secrets to concocting bespoke cocktails with fresh ingredients, local spirits, resort-crafted elixirs, syrups, dried fruits and herbs.

The class is followed by a four-course dinner prepared by chef Justin Picard, utilizing ingredients from the resort’s own Chef’s Garden. Depending upon room choice and dates, prices begin at $1,600 for two people (not including tasting fees and gratuities).

Escape to Tahiti for a Captivating Island-Hopping Cruise

The 118 islands of French Polynesia reveal themselves layer by fascinating layer, with the spirit of mana (vital force) linking them all the way from Tahiti to the remote reaches of the Marquesas. This is part of the world best savored on a journey that dives as deep into culture as natural beauty, both above and below the water’s surface. A cruise makes it easy to cover a lot of ground while unpacking just once (and sneaking in some work done in comfort, too, during at-sea days). And cruising offers particular appeal within this semi-autonomous French territory sprawling across nearly 2 million square miles of ocean and covering five archipelagos.

The Shelbourne Review

Facing the vast St. Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin sits the iconic and historic The Shelbourne. Few hotels master the perfect blend of history and luxury, but The Shelbourne gets it right. The site of the signing of the Irish Constitution in 1922 granting the Republic of Ireland its freedom from England, The Shelbourne has hosted its fair share of notable figures, from Michael Collins to Princess Grace Kelly to John Ford, the latter of which was the name of my suite.
