AdventureWomen Takes Flight with First Ever European Private Air Journey
Watertown, Mass. (Dec. 5, 2024) – AdventureWomen, an independent women-owned company dedicated to women building connections through travel, is announcing its first private jet journey. The “Exclusive Europe: Explore the Wonders of France, Italy, and Greece by Private Plane” itinerary departs in 2025, offering the ultimate opportunity to connect with inspiring female entrepreneurs across Europe with the luxury and convenience of private air travel. Minimizing transit times connecting across the continent, the 12-day voyage, strictly limited to 13 guests will travel by Embraer ERJ-135, beginning in Paris Oct. 23 before concluding in London Nov. 3, 2025.
“AdventureWomen has been inviting women to connect through travel for over 40 years and time remains to be the most valued asset for guests,” explains Paige Davis president of AdventureWomen. “Our first private plane journey, led by our inspiring co-owner Judi Wineland will maximize that luxury of time as we meet inspiring female entrepreneurs across Europe together, traveling off the beaten path on a carefully curated journey away from busy summer crowds.”
During the height of Europe’s travel season, the AdventureWomen private air journey will explore the enchanting Loire Valley, Tuscany and Greece along with visits to Siena, Perugia and Monemvasia. Highlights away from the crowds include dining in Michelin-starred restaurants, hot air balloon rides over the countryside, discovering local culture and history and meeting some of Europe’s most inspiring entrepreneurial women.
In France, AdventureWomen guests will stay in the 200-year-old Château de Rochecotte and meet with Emanuelle, Isabelle, and Christelle, the three Pasquier sisters who have played unique roles in its restoration. In Tuscany, the group will delve into an immersive cooking class led by Chef Helle Poulsen Tesio, whose cooking school is on the grounds of Fattoria del Colle. Chef Tesio will share traditional techniques to create authentic Tuscan dishes with the region’s celebrated flavors and fresh ingredients. Also in Tuscany, guests will savor the Cantina Patrizia Cencioni Winery, a family-run gem specializing in Brunello I Montalcino, managed by Patrizia and her daughters Annalisa and Ariana.
In Greece, the highlight includes a stay at the premier Euphoria Retreat in the historic town of Mystras, created by visionary Marina Efraimoglou. Guests will meet Marina, the Founder of Euphoria Retreat, and her colleague Mary who will share ancient Greek tales, offering profound insights into their relevance for today’s world.
The journey will be led by Judi Wineland, an inspiring entrepreneur herself, co-owner of AdventureWomen, which she operates with her two daughters, Erica Landerson and Nicole Wineland-Thomson. In 1978, Wineland was one of the first women to launch and run an adventure travel company, Overseas Adventure Travel. A few years later, she founded Tanzanian safari operator Thomson Safaris with her husband, Rick, and subsequently created Thomson Treks, Thomson Family Adventures and Thomson Collection, which was sold to Lindblad Expeditions Holdings in early 2024.
AdventureWomen guests will travel seamlessly from country to country aboard private aircraft. The Embraer-EJR-135, powered by Rolls-Royce engines, ensures rapid, safe, and long-distance travel, while also efficiently managing shorter trips. With a seating capacity of up to 30 passengers, it is the ideal plane for small group travel, offering each guest a window seat to enjoy breathtaking views. The private air program will be operated by Bartelings, a company specializing in touring worldwide by private aircraft.
The 12-day voyage, strictly limited to 13 guests travels by Embraer ERJ-135, begins in Paris Oct. 23 before concluding in London on Nov. 3, 2025. The price for the exclusive tour is $29,995 per person based on double occupancy and an additional $2,500 for single occupancy accommodations, and includes all private plane flights within Europe, accommodations, meals, airport transfers, guided tours and activities and gratuities.
