  • Summary

  • Hey, friends! Welcome to the Taste Toast Travel Podcast!

    We're your hosts and resident foodies, epicureans, and lovers of all things travel and exploration, John and Tara.

    John is a certified Sommelier and a Certified Specialist of Wine, and has worked in the wine and hospitality industry for over 10 years.

    Tara has worked in the wine industry for eight years both in hospitality and digital marketing.

    When we first met, we bonded over our love of eating, drinking, and traveling the world. That passion has only grown over time, now we want to share this passion with you from an insider perspective.

    On this podcast, you can expect a wide range of topics on all things food, travel, and beverage. This includes non-alcoholic drinks, too, because we don't discriminate here!

    That means we'll dig into things like where to go, where to stay and what to eat or drink along the way. We'll be serving tea on hot topics and big news, dig into the cultural significance and impacts that food, drink, and travel have on our lives, and we'll even bring on guests to join us who are just as excited, passionate, and knowledgeable about tasting, toasting, and traveling as we are.

    And, because we're not your ordinary foodie and travel-focused podcast, you can definitely expect some pop culture topics here, too.

    We're only scratching the surface and have a lot more in store that we can't wait to share with you all.

    Grab your favorite beverage, get comfortable, and enjoy the journey with us. Cheers!

    010. Unpacking Our Trip to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, & Italy (with an 8 month old)
    Jan 13 2025

    Buckle up! We’re recounting our two-week trip that began in Tara’s home states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where she born and raised for the first ten years of her life.

    We continue on to Florence and Rome, Italy for six days. We’re sharing the highs, lows, do’s and dont’s of this trip's planning and execution, along with personal anecdotes and cautionary tales on what we would (or wouldn’t) do again. As much as we’ve traveled, this is what we love so much about it—we’re always learning something new on every trip we go on, and this one was no exception.

    This was also our first “big” trip with our infant daughter, and boy was it humbling! Learn from our mistakes and check out our recommendations in this fun trip recap.

  • 009. Wine Tasting Horror Stories (from Winery Insiders!)

    009. Wine Tasting Horror Stories (from Winery Insiders!)
    Jan 6 2025

    As seasoned veterans of the wine and hospitality industry, we have MANY stories of wine tastings gone wrong. In this episode, we’re spilling the tea (or wine, we should say).

    We’re sharing some of our most unforgettable and amusing horror stories from our years working in wine tasting rooms in Napa and Sonoma. From intoxicated elementary school teachers that couldn’t keep it together to outrageous bachelorette parties to drink birthday groups and beyond, let’s scratch the surface and pull the curtain back on what really goes down in wine tastings.

    And yes, this has included cutting off overly intoxicated guests! Beyond the anecdotes, this episode serves as a cautionary tale about responsible drinking and the realities of working in the wine industry.

  • 008. Airplane Etiquette (and Not Being THAT Passenger)

    008. Airplane Etiquette (and Not Being THAT Passenger)
    Dec 30 2024

    Let’s talk airplane etiquette! We’re airing out common pet peeves and filing our grievances with air travel. From how to handle security lines to packing and overhead bin protocol, to the do’s and don'ts of seat reclining, arm rest usage, and being kind to parents traveling with kids—this episode covers all aspects of flying from security to deplaning.

    There are SO many things we think need to be acknowledged and broken down when it comes to being a kind, courteous (and sane) passenger when you fly, and have some personal experiences to recount that speak to each of these. We’ll wrap it up with some simple, practical advice on making air travel smoother and more enjoyable for everyone—because who doesn’t want that, right?
