We are delighted to announce our new programme for 2011/2012.
As from March 2011 we will be offering tours in association with Arblaster & Clarke Wine Tours, who share our ethos of offering wonderful personally escorted wine tours and despite being the world's leader in the field, remain a small, family-run company.
In early spring 2012 we have a tour of Campania and Puglia – details of this can be found by following the link.
In addition I will be taking the Arblaster & Clarke tour to California in November 2011. Further information on the Grape Escapes tours will appear here shortly, and full details of the Arblaster & Clarke programme can be found on their website.
The approach to the holidays will be the same as always, to examine and enjoy the fine-wine producing regions in a way that allows the wines to be viewed in context – so local gastronomy and history are also given a significant part of the itinerary. Each of the winery visits is structured for a group and is by previously arranged appointment, whilst the sightseeing is mainly unstructured so as to allow individuals to arrange the time to maximum advantage. We use only scheduled flights in conjunction with transport within the area by local coach.
As ever, I very much hope to have the opportunity of travelling with you again this year and/or next.
