TAILORED WINE TOURS & WINE TOUR ITINERARY PLANNING
We can help you plan the perfect, tailored wine tour, with a detailed travel itinerary for each day
We are leading experts in creating flexible, tailored travel itineraries and wine tours to the famous wine regions of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, northern Italy and other wine regions across Central Europe, working with in-region experts, our local contacts and best of wine tourism providers, to open doors to the top winemakers and the best vineyards in the world.
Our knowledge, experience and contacts in wine and wine tourism in these specific wine regions in Europe are unmatched.
This enables us to create for you a detailed, ‘self-guided’ travel itinerary and a highly personalised wine tour for you or your travel group. This would typically include winery tours, vineyard tours and wine tasting experiences tailored to your unique requirements, but could also include suggestions and options for specialist interest and leisure activities, as well as accommodation and dining, as appropriate.
We take your wine travel dreams and deliver a totally tailored wine tour, packed with access to the best and most authentic, immersive wine tourism experiences, with many delightful distractions besides and we manage as much or as little as you prefer in terms of administration, bookings and reservations.
Each tour is carefully planned to ensure an authentic experience, including the best vineyards to visit and the top winemakers, as well as hidden gems and lesser-known winemakers. We will guide you and help you to discover the true essence of beautiful wine regions, such as the Wachau Valley, Burgenland and Styria in Austria, the Rheingau and Mosel wine regions in Germany, the terraced vineyards around Lake Geneva and Piedmont, Liguria or Veneto in Italy - and also to explore beautiful Central European cities and wine capitals such as Vienna, Mainz, Lausanne or Verona.

The different elements of your tailored wine tour
-
Wine regions
We cover the best wine regions in the world, but we also uncover lesser-known and more underrated wine regions, which we believe deserve to be shared with the world!
Each region has something different to offer, in terms of traditions, culture, history, food and of course wines!
-
Wineries & wine producers
We include the best wine producers, wineries and vineyards in the world, but we also like to introduce you to something new!
We shine a light on wine producers passionate about sustainability and sustainable wines and connecting with wine lovers keen to learn about their wines.
-
Accommodation
Where to stay is a key consideration and an important element of your overall experience and connection with the region.
We offer different options, including where possible winery hotels and vineyard accommodation.
-
Food and wine travel
It goes without saying that food and wine go together and discovering the different local foods, gastronomy and traditional dishes of a region are key to your wine tour!
We suggest food and wine travel options for you to really experience a region’s gastronomy!
-
Sights & scenery
It would be remiss not to allow time for sight-seeing and soaking up the natural beauty of a wine region.
Exploring a region’s history, culture and traditions is all part of a wine tour experience!
-
Activities, arts & culture
We recognise that the typical ‘wine tourist’ may also be interested in active outdoor pursuits, eg wine bike tours, or perhaps wellbeing activities, or the arts and music, as well as nature and the environment.
We always try to include an element of this into our wine tours.
