Types of tours
We appreciate that not everyone is looking for the same style of wine tour so we have developed a wide range of wine related holidays in order for you to find one that suits you.
If you are a wine collector or your prime interest is great wines, the Reserve Collection tours with small groups looking at top of the range wines in a seminar like way, are likely to appeal;
if for you wine drinking is a voyage of discovery and you are looking for new countries and potentially interesting regions, perhaps on a longer tour, then the Classic Wine Journeys are likely to be most suitable;
if you want to get out into the vineyards and visit small domains in the villages, and you enjoy some exercise between indulgences, take a look at the Vineyard Walks;
finally if a fully escorted holiday is not for you (and you are short on time), the Wine Cities, which are short weekend breaks that pack a lot in, are perfect.
The introduction to each tour section describes in detail what you can expect from each style of tour. Our small knowledgeable team knows every aspect of these holidays and between us we have visited every region featured, so please do call to discuss any of the follow tours. If the method of transport or hotel standard that we include does not suit you, or you would like to turn your wine tour into a longer holiday, please call to discuss the options that may be available to you.
