Betsy\u2019s love of wine began as a young lady with a move to Bordeaux in 1975. She experienced an education and insight into the fine wines and cheeses of southwestern France. Returning to California, Betsy attended college, later opening a store in El Dorado County featuring local wines. She sold the store to become an independent wine broker representing small high-quality producers.<\/p>\n<p>Moving to Sonoma County\u2019s Dry Creek Valley, she was involved with Lake Sonoma Winery working in the vineyards and in wine production. After meeting husband Peter in Dallas they fell in love, bought a vineyard and began their own wine production using fruit sourced from small-lot vineyards in the Mayacamas Mountains. The end result is richly flavored Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Sangiovese wines. Betsy also crafts wines from select cool-climate vineyards throughout Sonoma County, producing limited quantities of blended wines, influenced by the winemaking styles of Bordeaux, the Rhone Valley and Tuscany.<\/p>\n<p>Peter &amp; Betsy Spann invite you to join them for this \u201cBucket List\u201d trip to Croatia. This once-in-a-lifetime program combines a 7-night land tour from Zagreb to Split, followed by a 7-night private yacht cruise to Dubrovnik aboard the deluxe, 19-cabin vessel AVANGARD.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll visit Croatia\u2019s most beautiful islands on the Adriatic Sea\u2019s Dalmatian Coast. On board will be an ample provision of Spann Vineyards wine, along with carefully selected Croatian vintages. This exclusive holiday is dedicated to great food, fine wine and plentiful sunshine. Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime wine and travel experience.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to share this website with like-minded friends and family who enjoy culture and history along with fine wines and gourmet cuisine.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-664693462\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_2031020413\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/spann26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2024\/10\/Peter-and-Betsy-Spann.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/spann26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2024\/10\/Peter-and-Betsy-Spann.jpg 600w, https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/spann26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2024\/10\/Peter-and-Betsy-Spann-400x301.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_2031020413 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1601955602 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-450713779\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Contact &#8211; Georgia Shoemaker<br \/>Direct Line &#8211; 1-714-975-9941<br \/>Email &#8211; <a href=\"mailto:Georgia@Expanding-Horizons.com\">Georgia@Expanding-Horizons.com<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"margin-top:1.4em;margin-bottom:1.4em;max-width:50%;height:1px;background-color:rgb(196, 161, 95);\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1264386324\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"308\" src=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/spann26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2024\/10\/Logo-Spann-Vineyards-Color-Logo.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/spann26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2024\/10\/Logo-Spann-Vineyards-Color-Logo.jpg 600w, https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/spann26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2024\/10\/Logo-Spann-Vineyards-Color-Logo-400x205.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1264386324 {\n  width: 80%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1825698963\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><em><strong>Please Note: This Croatia \u2014 Jewel of the Adriatic 2026 wine tasting cruise\/tour was created for Spann Vineyards by our tour operator, Expanding Horizons of Tustin, CA in conjunction with Katrina Line.
