Office Team
Below is a list of the people who work at the Arblaster & Clarke office, between them they personally put together all the many varied and complex aspects of your wine holiday, designing the itineraries, choosing the wineries, the menus, the hotels and so on. You will speak to one of these people when you call the office, and may meet them when you take a tour.
Lynette Arblaster

Tim Clarke
Tim Clarke designs the tours and brochure, as well as having a great love for travelling. Tim takes many tours and was described in “Wine” magazine as “a Jeremy Clarkson of Wine Guides”. Tim's style is to go for a broad brush rather than detail (unless you get him going on 'terroir') with insight, humour, history and anecdotes. |
