Ever wished someone else would just plan your whole wine country day for you? On this episode, Janet sits down with Gina Hilliard, president of the Luray-Page Chamber of Commerce, and Chris Snow, owner of the brand-new Valley & Vine Transport, a private curated tour and transport service built around the Shenandoah Valley's craft beverage scene.

Chris walks through how it works — guests fill out a short form, his team builds a fully custom itinerary around wineries, breweries, distilleries, and more, and then he handles door-to-door pickup and drop-off in his 10-passenger van. Gina explains why this kind of service is such a win for tourism in Page County, and Chris shares the surprisingly flexible ways people are already using it — from bachelorette-style girls' days to wedding shuttles to keeping overstaying holiday relatives entertained. Plus, Gina previews the chamber's upcoming Women in Business social at Wisteria Farm & Vineyard.
