Agency & Location

Lucette Travel

Charlotte, NC

As a certified sommelier with a passion for both wine and art, I bring a unique perspective to every journey I design. Travel has always been one of my greatest loves, as it opens our eyes to different cultures, connects us with people and places, and deepens our appreciation for the beauty of the world around us.

I specialize in multigenerational travel, couples’ getaways, and unforgettable family adventures, with a focus on luxury experiences that feel personal and meaningful. I take great pride in creating tailored itineraries that offer something special for every traveler, from grandparents to grandchildren, and everyone in between. Whether it’s a hands-on cooking class in Tuscany, a private yacht in the Greek Isles, or a boutique hotel with just the right charm, I thoughtfully design each trip with care and intention.

Outside of travel, I also host occasional wine and art pairing events, which reflect my love of bringing people together through beauty, storytelling, and shared experience.

Most Memorable Travel Experience

One of my most memorable travel experiences was a family trip to Costa Rica. It was the first time I worked with a travel advisor, and I’ll never forget how incredible it felt to have every detail taken care of, with experiences that truly fit us. The itinerary blended my nine year old’s curiosity with my husband’s and my interests, from spotting sloths on a rainforest and coffee tour to a private boat day ending in a beach picnic on a secluded shore. It was seamless, special, and deeply meaningful, and it helped inspire the way I plan travel for my own clients today.

If your personality was depicted in a property, which would you be?

I’d be Castello di Reschio in Umbria, timeless, quietly luxurious, and full of soul. Set on a private estate surrounded by olive groves and rolling hills, it blends history, design, and hospitality in a way that feels deeply personal. Every detail is curated with intention, from the art-filled interiors to the immersive culinary, wine, and wellness experiences. It’s refined but never flashy, a place where beauty, culture, and comfort come together effortlessly, just like the journeys I love to design.

Best Travel Tip

Choose a few unique, well-curated experiences that truly reflect your interests, whether it's a private cooking class in Tuscany or a sunset sail along the coast, then leave room for a little spontaneity. The right balance of thoughtful planning and unstructured time allows space for the unexpected moments that often become the most cherished memories.

How Do You Define Luxury Travel?

Luxury travel is about thoughtful, personalized experiences that feel effortless and deeply meaningful. It’s not just about five-star hotels or first-class flights, though those are wonderful, it’s about feeling seen, cared for, and inspired. For me, true luxury lies in the details: a private moment curated just for you, a special touch that makes a child feel included, or an experience that brings generations of a family closer together. It’s the art of designing travel that reflects who you are and what matters most to you, with comfort, authenticity, and beauty woven throughout.
