Here you will find information about upcoming wine tours and about tours that have been. We talk about plans for future trips and tell stories about what’s happened when we travel in wine regions. Sometimes we have articles about wine tourism in general and also posts with lovely pictures from wine regions and wine countries that we have visited.

Champagne is a unique wine that only comes from the Champagne region in the north-east of France. Other places may produce sparkling wines, but they are not allowed to call them champagne in most countries
There is, of course, no “world’s best sauvignon blanc wine”. What is best depends on your personal preferences (yes, wine scoring is subjective). But picking the winners out of a selection of 1200 sauvignons from
New Zealand is far away from all countries. No wonder this tour is the longest we have on our program. But the general opinion (by those who have done it) is that it could have
South Africa has so much to offer, it is hard to know where to start. The country’s wines have developed enormously in recent years, the wines have become top class, with more variation, the winegrowers
The South America tour is unforgettable. There are so many moments that you will remember. Tango moves in Buenos Aires, the mighty Andes, the cold Pacific Ocean, the dry summer landscape of Mendoza where the
Tasting wines and drinking wines in the region where they are made is always different from doing it at home. Yes, you are influenced by the atmosphere, seeing the vineyards out there, from the tasting
Why choose between Champagne and Bordeaux? Hard to decide? If the choice is too difficult, why not go on our Grand Wine Tour, a 9-day wine tour where you will get to know these two
The wine champagne comes only from the region of Champagne in north-eastern France. You can find plenty of sparkling wines elsewhere, but if it is not from Champagne then it is not champagne and it
Franschhoek in South Africa is famous, both for its wines and for its spectacularly beautiful location. A visit to the Holden Manz Wine Estate confirms that Franschhoek is well deserving of this fame. The wines
In many ways, New Zealand is a big surprise. Before you get there, you have of course formed an idea of what it is like, but it is different. It’s a bit English in style
South Africa is a handy wine country in a way. You can get to almost every wine district in not much more than an hour and a half or two from Cape Town. Much like
Fourteen days may seem like a lot, but how many times will one travel to South America? And in fact, fourteen days is not much, considering all the experiences that we will have time for.
Munskänkarna, (*) the large Swedish association for wine tasters and wine enthusiasts, recently conducted a survey among its members about which wine regions they prefer to travel to or have travelled to. The three wine
Quite recently there was the “primeur” season in Bordeaux. That’s when the worlds wine merchants and wine journalists (well a quite few of them, at least) descend on the region to taste the last vintage,
There are different philosophies. Some say that to use the “natural” yeast, i.e. the one found “naturally” on the grapes and in the wine cellar, is the only way to bring out the genuine character
Champagne and Bordeaux are almost diametrically opposed geographically in France. Champagne in the north-east, not far from Belgium, Bordeaux in the south-west an hour and a half’s drive from Spain. The are just as different
Champagne is the wine region that is closest to Paris. It starts just some 50 kilometres east of the city. That has no doubt helped in brining it to world fame. Going east from Paris
New Zealand is a young wine country, it shows in many ways. The producers still have a feeling of being pioneers who experiment with different grape varieties (New Zealand is not only sauvignon blanc!) and
South African wines. Some think of chenin blanc, others of pinotage. There is a lot to choose from, and there will be more. This extraordinary wine country is getting more exciting by the hour as
You often recognize a Bordeaux when you have it in your glass. Not always, but fairly often. The notes of tobacco and cedar wood, a touch of oak and the tannins in the background are
Champagne and Bordeaux go well together. Maybe not at the same time but during the same dinner. The French always (or at least very often) serve champagne as a pre-dinner drink. And red Bordeaux is,
Argentina and Chile are wine countries on opposite sides of the mighty Andes Mountains. We will cross these mountains by bus halfway into our wine tour, a fabulous experience, one among many during our two
We like to show our guests how it works behind the scene in Champagne, and that is why we mostly visit small producers and small houses on our tours, where the people will tell us
South Africa actually has eleven different official languages. And a further 26 that are “recognised”. The most spoken is Zulu. The South African wine world is not quite as complicated. Almost all of the wine
New Zealand is, of course, considered a “New World” country in wine. And compared to other countries in the New World, wine arrived here not long ago, at the beginning of the 19th century (1819),
