You will come back with great enthusiasm, knowledge and a thirst to learn more.
Valentine Weekend Tour
We are arranging a long weekend to the Champagne region of France to celebrate Valentine’s Day in February 2009. All the top houses will be visited along with a couple of excellent but virtually unknown smaller producers.
Upcoming Wine Tour to Somontano Spain
We are scheduling a fantastic tour to Somontano Spain in May 2009. This will run from Friday until Monday inclusive. The tour will take in an area virtually unknown to most visitors to Spain. Located in the mountainous area of Huesca (famous for its skiing) and Somontano is in the foothills of the dramatic Pyranees Mountains. You will have unforgettable scenery and the region is gorgeous with greenfields and hills, wild flowers, medieval hamlets and lonely hilltop monasteries. Most importantly this is an up and coming wine region making cutting edge wines which have only just reached the British market. We will meet in Madrid Atocha Railway Station and take the high speed train to Zaragoza where we will stay for the three nights. A luxury coach will transport us over the next few days to sample gourmet meals, cozy restaurants, tucked away in romantic historic villages.
