The Domane has rear rack mounts, but has a carbon fork, so I would not mount a front rack. I have done most of my touring with only a rear rack though, so that should be no problem. The only problem I see is the gearing. I believe it comes with a 34T chainwheel as the smallest up front, and a 32T as the largest in the back. I would want better than that. I have a 24T up front, and a 36T in the back. It is definitely nice when fully loaded on big hills. That being said, there is no reason you cannot tour on the Domane.
