Inaugural Valerie Wilson Travel Golf Invitational presents a unique opportunity to play Gleneagles, site of the 2014 Ryder Cup Everybody loves a celebration. Especially when it opens doors to playing Scotland’s prestigious Gleneagles ahead of the 2014 Ryder Cup. Opening doors for travelers is one of the things Valerie Wilson Travel does best.  Headquartered in NYC and rated among the top U.S. travel companies (number 27 to be exact by Travel Weekly), the company is celebrating 30 years in the business with a series of once-in-a-lifetime trips. For golfers, their May 2012 Scottish golf expedition falls in the realm of “I’ve got to find a way to be part of this.” Not only will the lucky golfers on this trip play Gleneagles’ legendary golf courses—the Queen’s and the PGA Centenary—they will participate in a tournament, complete with scoreboard and tournament consultant. Even without golf, this trip would be a fantastic adventure. From the welcoming notes of Scottish bagpipers at your arrival to the farewell gala which you can attend in a rented kilt, this is an experience tailor-made for those who relish great travel experiences. One of the great things about a Valerie Wilson Travel trip—golf, safari, cruise, or business—is the passionate, hands-on treatment you receive from this family-owned business. You gain a good sense of how much they care by the story of their beginnings. When Valerie Wilson couldn’t find a travel company that met her expectations, she bought one and molded it to fit her vision. Some of the company’s very first trips were golf trips for couples and friends. That knowledge and access, gained over three decades, is evident today. Sure, anyone can get into Stirling Castle during the daytime, but it takes a bit of doing to arrange a private dinner there for guests of the VWT Golf Invitational. Same goes for the quality of the whiskey served at the trip’s whiskey tasting. In fact, the pleasant little surprises you’ll find throughout the trip are a hallmark of Valerie Wilson Travel. Co-President Jennifer Wilson-Buttigieg, one of three principals, is personally leading the trip. For all the details visit their customized website:  www.vwtgolfinvitational.com.
