Erica Leipheimer
Beverly Hills, California Travel Agent
Luxury Travel Consultant
I am an expert in all things California—including all wine regions, as well as Greece, Mexico, Croatia, Costa Rica, the UK, the Caribbean, and Australia & New Zealand, amongst others. So, whether you seek to relax on the beach, ski in the mountains, cruise the globe for delicious eats, or explore cities and regions worldwide, I can make it happen.
Food and wine tell so much about a region and its people. Be it the hearts of Napa Valley, Sonoma, Paso Robles, or Santa Barbara in California, a luxurious tour of the Tuscan countryside, a luscious deep-dive into Bordeaux and Burgundy, a full immersion into Sicilian culture via a glass of Nero d'Avola, or a closer look into the Assyrtiko wines of Santorini and Tsardana of Crete, all of these experiences tell a story that begs to be heard, and puts you at the center of it all.

Thorough and wonderful!
Erica was super patient, Very helpful, and just generally awesome in handling all the details I needed when I went to Egypt. I was completely terrified and overwhelmed about this trip and I was able to rely on her to make sure all of my lodging was in place, that I had transport arranged, and that I was safe. I'm so grateful to her!

Look no further!
Erica is wonderful, she knows the best places to visit and stay and she makes your life so easy by handling everything. Very quick to respond and extremely helpful. I will never attempt to plan my own trip again as she gets deals and perks that I could never find on my own. 10/10 highly recommend!!!!!!

JUST AMAZING
Just AMAZING ??. Erica booked us the most fabulous trip to Italy for 5 days, and then booked us a cruise for 7 days! Everyday was better than I could have ever imagined. The hotels were beautiful and very accommodating. My daughter and I will have these beautiful memories forever. Thanks for the memories Erica ??

A retrip from the past
Erica helped plan and set into motion a revisit trip to Israel some 57 years in my bucket list. She got me to places I requested and more. I also wanted to go to at least 1 other country and for my budget she managed to get 2 other countries in. If there were any problems, and there were a few, she was available to me day or nite which I appreciated. The guides she got us were terrific, esp the one in Israel. I would certainly recommend Erica to my friends and family, which I already have done, and would not hesitate to use her talents the next time I travel. Thank you Erica for a great trip

Erica won't rest until you have your perfect trip!
Erica is a pro! We began our travel plans with Erica with the thought of going to Croatia with one of our two daughters, while the other was with school. Erica put together two INCREDIBLE packages that were so amazing, we decided that if we were going, we needed to have both our girls. Back to the drawing board. Then we were onto Spain and to Lisbon. Erica found great hotels that she had personally experienced and helped us find amazing places. After we looked at flights, which were outrageous, we went back to the drawing board AGAIN. At this point Erica could have been completely irritated with us (she may have been- but she never showed it!) and pieced together a third itinerary with the enthusiasm of a person going through a third trip in about a week. But she didn't. She was awesome, funny, professional and put together a beautiful and really fun trip for us with fabulous hotels and tours! She worked through all of our details with ease and is wonderful to work with!

Best European Getaway ever!
Erica killed it when planning our 3 week European getaway this summer. Not only were our accommodations incredible, but Erica made sure to stay in contact with us and accommodate to our every beck and call!
