TAKE A NJ FOOD TOUR
The New Jersey Food Tour Trail is a collaboration of food tours that operate in various regions throughout the state. The joining of tours was developed for tourists to create their own trail in an effort to “eat their way” throughout New Jersey. The New Jersey Food Tour Trail hopes tourists get the chance to learn and explore all pockets of the state, while also taking a bite, or two, out of everything delicious there is to offer.
Here's an example of one tour, this one for Asbury Park
Sip, sample, and stroll your way through the downtown area of Asbury Park while tasting the incredible food and drink of Cookman Avenue!
- Stops and samples at 6 establishments around the Cookman Avenue area of Asbury Park
- Drink pairings included at 3 stops

- Knowledgeable tour guides providing you with information on the storied history and local lure of Asbury Park
- A fun-filled day of exploring the food and drink scene of Asbury Park

FIND YOUR BEST WEEKEND - PORT D'HIVER
Port d’Hiver in Melbourne Beach, Florida. Melbourne Beach is a delightful, uncrowded town on the eastern coastline and this is a B&B that has raised the bar on our expectations of what a B&B can be like. It is a gorgeous historic property with beautiful rooms and exquisite service. Set in its own little compound surrounded by bamboo fencing across from the beach with meandering brick pathways, waterfalls, vibrant, colorful gardens, draping bougainvillea, intimate little nooks for reading, a spa pool and a couple of fire pits where fires are set in the morning and at the end of the day to take the chill off.
The inn is owner operated which always results in a better experience and the owners have taken great care to anticipate the needs of their guests. This is an extraordinary value with a four star experience at two star prices. It is a place to which we will return when we need a warm weather escape. READ MORE

Are you looking to buy or rent a Florida getaway? Our good friend Charles Wines can help you find it in the Sarasota area on the West Coast.
Sarasota is a city south of Tampa on Florida’s Gulf Coast that was once the winter home of the Ringling Brothers Circus. Today, it hosts a number of cultural institutes, notably the Ringling Museum of Art, which showcases old masters and modern art. It’s also the gateway to miles of beaches with fine sand and shallow waters, such as Lido Beach and Siesta Key Beach
Take a look at some of the homes he has available right now.
