Travel by Design : Bespoke Wine, Sake and Destination Travel Planning

Travel by Design is our 1:1 planning service for individuals and small groups.

Luxury travel should feel effortless, personal, and deeply connected to place.

Maison V designs bespoke travel across France, Japan,  and select destinations such as Italy : Tuscany, Piedmont and Portugal: Alentejo.  We design for the places we have been and extensive experiences we've had.

We are also accomplished professionals in wine and sake with decades of corporate experience in super premium credit cards, points, loyalty programmes and luxury properties. This means we design for your passion areas in wine, sake and travel with our access; insights and benefits intertwined with everything you already have — be it American Express and Chase cards, hotel loyalty status, subscriptions and airline miles.

And, with intimate knowledge of the cultural and event calendars of each destination, we ensure you have every opportunity to enjoy some of the biggest to the most local events making each journey even more memorable.

Every traveller experiences luxury differently. That's why we design across a complete portfolio of accommodation and hospitality experiences and not exclusively around a single booking platform or hotel brand.

Our travel design includes:

• Luxury hotels and iconic resorts
• Private villas and exclusive residences
• Boutique hotels
• Design-led retreats
• Ryokans and traditional luxury stays
• Curated Airbnb and vacation rental experiences
• Wine estates and vineyard accommodation
• Multi-property itineraries for longer journeys

Rather than recommending what is simply available, we curate the right combination of places, perks, experiences, and people to create a seamless journey that feels entirely your own.
