"CKcurated is a luxury travel and design service specializing in bespoke wine excursions, culinary experiences, interior design sourcing, and corporate retreats. Our mission is simple: people share and learn through artisanally crafted food and wine, thoughtfully designed spaces, and tailored travel experiences. We are not a traditional travel agency but a lifestyle concierge, creating original journeys with no pre-packaged trips, no commissions, and no group tours with strangers."
"As a gay Asian-American founder of an LGBTBE-certified business, I built CKcurated around genuine human connection and "quiet luxury" for LGBTQ+ clients and allies-welcoming, sophisticated environments where you never have to explain who you are-while uplifting small, passionate family-run wineries, local artisans, and chefs rooted in their communities. Our philosophy is this: always tailored, small by design, and deeply human at the center of every journey."
CKcurated offers bespoke luxury travel, culinary, and interior design services including wine excursions, culinary experiences, design sourcing, and corporate retreats. The business operates as a lifestyle concierge with no pre-packaged trips, commissions, or group tours with strangers. The model emphasizes artisanally crafted food and wine, thoughtfully designed spaces, and tailored travel experiences. The founder transitioned from a 30-year corporate architecture career to create an intentionally anti-corporate, human-centered venture that applies design thinking to journeys. The offering centers on quiet luxury for LGBTQ+ clients and allies while uplifting small family-run wineries, local artisans, and community-rooted chefs.
