Luxury Wine Tours in France: Osprey Boutique Travel Featured in Voyage LA Magazine
A Dream, A journey, A Passion
Voyage LA Magazine has featured the story of Stephanie Burtin — a journey that began in Lyon, France, and led her to Los Angeles, where she has built a life around what she loves most: travel, wine, and the French art of living. As the founder of Osprey Boutique Travel, Stephanie designs luxury wine tours in France that go far beyond the ordinary — immersive, bespoke journeys that connect travelers with the soul of France through its finest wines, cuisine, and culture.
Stephanie Burtin: Luxury Wine Tours in France, Osprey
Growing up in Lyon — surrounded by the incredible flavors of its world-famous cuisine — Stephanie's love for food and wine began early. Fascinated by how wine pairs with food and how together they create a complete sensory experience, she trained with a professional sommelier, which opened her eyes to the craftsmanship and emotion behind every bottle. By background a chemical engineer, Stephanie brings that same care and attention to detail to every journey she designs — crafting seamless, perfectly orchestrated experiences that touch the heart, delight the senses, and linger long after the journey ends.
Travel soon became more than a passion — it became a way of life. Having explored more than 30 countries, connecting with cultures, flavors, and people all over the world, each journey deepened her belief that travel is about connection — to the land, to others, and to ourselves.
What Makes Osprey Boutique Travel Different
When Stephanie landed in California, she realized how many people dreamed of discovering France in a deeper, more meaningful way — not through traditional tours, but through authentic, immersive experiences. That is what inspired her to create Osprey Boutique Travel. Together with a team of passionate French experts, Osprey designs luxury wine tours in France that blend the finest wines, gourmet cuisine, rich culture, and wellness — with meticulous attention to detail and a personal touch. Every experience is personally tested by Stephanie herself — from VIP tastings in royal châteaux, to fine dining at Michelin-starred restaurants, to wellness retreats in Provence.
For Stephanie, each itinerary is a story — a celebration of taste, culture, and discovery — where travelers experience France not as tourists, but as insiders, and fall in love with it the same way she did.

Overcoming Challenges to Follow a Passion
Building Osprey Boutique Travel has not always been a smooth road. Moving from France to the United States was a major transition — adapting to a new culture, language, and way of life while building a career in a completely different environment. Stephanie also shifted careers entirely, leaving the structure of engineering to pursue her love for wine, travel, and gastronomy — which meant starting over, adapting quickly, and learning fast. But having always loved a challenge, doing work that is truly meaningful makes it all worthwhile — especially when that passion translates into unforgettable luxury wine tours in France for her clients.
The Moments That Make our Bespoke Journeys Unforgettable
What brings Stephanie the greatest joy is seeing clients return from France with unforgettable memories — moments that linger long after the trip ends. One client shared: “The only time I’ve ever felt this kind of emotion was when I asked my wife to marry me — and I felt that same rush of joy and wonder all over again while living the journey you designed for us in France.” Seeing the excitement in clients’ eyes as they relive every magical moment is the reason Osprey exists — to create experiences that touch the heart, awaken the senses, and leave lasting memories.
