On Oct, 19, twenty members traveled to Portugal for a 7-day Douro River cruise followed by a 3 day Azores Island stay.  They arrived
in the city of Porto to board the “Riviera Duoro Splendour.” Highlights included a pass through the Carrapatelo Lock, the highest lock in Europe and one of five along the river. They toured castles and sampled Port and wine, visited the city of Salamanca and then Lamego, famous for its cathedral set upon 686 steps, all of which are adorned with mosaic blue and white tiles.

Their adventure then took the group to San Miguel Island, the largest of the nine Islands in the Azores, where they ascended the mountain to view the “Furnas” area, then to the lake below and volcanic hot springs to enjoy a lunch of “Caldeira Stew” made by cooking meats and vegetables in pots for hours in volcanic steam. Lunch was followed by a trip to the Botanical Gardens. The adventure continued the next day with a trip to a hot springs natural pool to soak before standing under a natural waterfall and then swimming in the ocean. The trip culminated in Lisbon with a city tour and traditional Portuguese dinner.

Fall 2024 saw the club take 54 people on a wine and exploration trip to West Virginia.  First stop was to the Hatfield Family Distillery and Sweeter Side of the Feud Winery, where we learned about the famous feud from Mark Hatfield, a direct descendent.  Next, we toured the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine, then made our final stop at Daniel Vinyards and its beautiful 192-acre property.

On our second day we boarded the Cass Scenic Railroad for a trip to climb up the Back Allegheny Mountain to Bald Knob and back.  We then drove to the ski village of Snowshoe, West Virginia for dinner, then back to the hotel for the night.

Day three took the group to the New River Gorge National Park where we toured their Canyon Rim Visitor’s Center and hiked to a viewing point of the New River Gorge Bridge -- a very impressive sight.  Our final stop was at Kirkwood Winery and Isaiah Morgan Distillery, where we feasted on a fabulous outdoor lunch served with wine and award-winning moonshine.

In September, 2023 the Warren Ski Club completed the trip of a lifetime to the amazing Amalfi coast of Italy.  This eleven-day adventure was designed by our trip director with the help of professionals at Perillo Tours to meet the varied interests of an active Ski Club group.  We toured multiple antiquities and two countries by bus, Jeep and boat.  We swam in beautiful hotel pools and in the Mediterranean Sea, climbed two volcanos, rode a chairlift to the top of the Isle of Capri, ate fabulous meals, and shared great wine.  The following photos capture just some of the fun and excitement of a fabulous trip.
