Surf Wine Tours, Lisbon, Portugal
Type of Busines: Luxury Tour Provider Focusing on Discovering Portugal through customized tours to include surfing, surf instruction, luxury accommodations, food, and wine.
Before meeting with Surf Wine Tours in Lisbon, we had several discussions to clarify the goals for the business, the best content strategy for attracting new clients, as well as highlighting the high-level hospitality partners of Surf Wine Tours. My site visit included touring hotel partners, wineries, restaurants, and historic sites of interest for first-time visitors to Portugal.
I knew before even meeting Penny in person that she takes her work very seriously, and has a keen eye for discovering the details of a destination that perhaps we locals overlook. Penny is very professional–no BS–which was immediately apparent to me and my partners. She had clearly done her research before arrival. When combined with her passionate approach to writing the result is beautiful articles and photographs that make you want to pack immediately and have that same experience. Her mastery of social media networks and advice on content strategy were exactly what I needed. Penny is an extraordinary asset and I plan to continue to work with her!
