​Exploring Wine trips are about much more than wine, including all the following elements:

• beautiful scenery and time to enjoy it
• history, with opportunities to absorb it
• city life and local culture time (museums, shopping, etc.)
• winery visits and tastings, including talks with winemakers
• free time to explore
• chances to dine independently of our group
• special pre-planned gourmet dinners
• upscale boutique hotels
• on the first day of the trip, a review of local history and culture
• a briefing booklet with practical information, maps and profiles of key destinations

Our itineraries are fine for first-time visitors, but also feature some places that experienced travelers won’t have been to. And wine expertise certainly isn’t required! Meticulous pre-planning is a hallmark of these expeditions.
