Classic Wine Journeys
These are our classic Wine Tours exploring the wine regions of Europe. We include special appointments

and high quality tastings at wineries and estates that are well-known or up and coming. There are private invitations to dine at wine estates so that you can taste the wines as they should be enjoyed, with traditional local food.
These are all multi-centre wine tours, covering two or more regions in one country or indeed travelling to
two countries giving you an overview of the different regions. On a Classic Wine Journey, you will have the sense that you are on a tour that is truly exploring the regions and offering a unique and privileged insight, perhaps visiting parts of Europe that you may not have had the chance to visit before.

Knowing that our clients have many interests beyond just wine, we leave you sometime to explore the cities on foot, and to visit the museums, the art galleries and gardens. We often arrange an optional guided tour with a local guide too to give local background on the towns you are staying in.
