Escape winter in your dreams… or better, in the sun-soaked wine regions of the Southern Hemisphere

Share/like this post:

There are, of course, those who love winter, with snow and sleet, short days and evenings in front of the fire (at best). But there are also those who want to enjoy wonderful summer weather, delicious gastronomic meals, and exciting wine tastings. Perhaps topped off with a dip in the pool or a journey through spectacular landscapes. And not least, the chance to experience different cultures in countries that you may only visit once in your life.

This winter (2026), unfortunately, there was no chance of joining any of our wine tours in the southern hemisphere. They were all fully booked long in advance. But they will return in 2027, and considering that they are long in time and long-distance trips, it might be a good idea to start planning already.

All three of our “winter tours” take you to the summer, the wines and gastronomy of the southern hemisphere; they give you memories for a lifetime, truly spectacular experiences with programs that we can only design thanks to our long experience of these wine countries and our close contacts with the producers there.

Join us on a very special wine tour in 2027:

Wine Travel at Its Finest

When you travel with BKWine, you travel with true wine authorities: Britt and Per Karlsson. For over 20 years, we have personally created and led hundreds of tours for thousands of wine lovers across Europe, South Africa, South America, and Oceania. We are the authors of 13 award-winning books, recognised by the Swedish Academy of Gastronomy, Gourmand International, and the OIV (International Organisation of Vine and Wine). Our publications are frequently used as core material in both professional and enthusiast wine education.

Our expertise is globally recognised. We have been named “Best Wine Guide” and “Best Wine Tour Operator” by the Wine Travel Awards, and our journeys have been hailed as the “World’s Top Wine Tours” by the world’s leading travel media.  Beyond our tours, we write in-depth on wine for BKWine Magazine and are regular contributors to Forbes.com and frequently serve as expert judges in prestigious international wine competitions. We have also acted as speakers and advisors on wine tourism for organisations, regions and nations including the UN (UNWTO), The World Bank, Vinitaly, Ukraine, the Languedoc and others.

Our mission is to provide you with an unparalleled wine and culinary experience. The gastronomy on our tours is legendary. Because we personally design every itinerary and have visited thousands of estates over the decades, we know exactly where to find the most authentic people and the most unique, hidden gems. We don’t always take you to “the big and famous”—that would be too easy. Instead, we focus on unique rencontres: meaningful encounters with people, wine, and food.

We aren’t here to sell you bottles; we are here to provide a profound wine experience and memories that last a lifetime—all while ensuring you have a truly wonderful time. When you choose BKWine, you are travelling with the experts, with Britt and Per, who created the journey, ensuring you receive the very best experience possible.
