Tim Syrad Wine Tours and Wine Holidays
Since 2001 I have taken more than 600 people on over 140 wine tours and holidays to most of the major wine regions in Europe and the New World.
2024/5 Tour Programme
Our 2024 autumn European destinations were Castilla y León in Spain (specifically Ribera del Duero, Toro, Rueda and Cigales), the Alentejo in Portugal and Eastern Sicily including Mount Etna. We had also visited these regions in the first half of 2024, also Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and the Loire Valley – you can read the blogs for each of these to find out more about what my tours are like.
In 2025 I am running three tours to South America in February/March, and my European tours in April-June and September/October are to Champagne, Priorat and Penedès, Southern Rhone, Castilla y León and Slovenia.
I opened bookings for 2025 European tours to my existing clients at the very beginning of July, and places are filling up. However there is availability on some tours (shown on the Next Tours page and individual tour pages, so please don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested. It is possible to be wait-listed on any tour that is already full, so please get in touch if you would like to come on tour with me this or next year.
If you are thinking about a wine tour now or in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
On all Tim Syrad Wine Tours, you will:
Taste fabulous wines
Meet amazing wine makers
Be guided by wine expert Tim Syrad
Enjoy wonderful gastronomy
Visit beautiful places
Why do my clients keep coming back on my wine tours year after year?
- Our wine holidays are in lovely places with fabulous scenery.
- We visit famous wineries and smaller ones that have a fascinating story to tell.
- We meet the owners and wine makers.
- We talk to the people who make the wine and tend the vines.
- We get to know a region, its wine and cuisine properly
- We keep group size small enough (under 25) to ensure the best visits and a great atmosphere
I personally escort all my wine tours, and make sure that every single tour delivers these magic ingredients. I am very proud that so many of my clients come back on tour with me every year – over 100 people have been on at least ten of my tours, and nearly 200 people have been on at least five!
To get a feel for what I do, take a look at the video from our Slovenia wine tour, read the reports of all my previous tours, and of course – find out what my clients say!
“On each of our four trips no two wineries were ever the same. The people who ran them were always welcoming and clearly had a great respect for Tim and his extensive knowledge of both wines and the wine trade. In addition there was always a surprise: unusual buildings, a llama farm in South America and amazing art galleries in Jerez. The wines were chosen with great care, both for enjoyment and learning about wine, and the atmosphere relaxed and fun. Tim is clearly a people person as well as being a wine person, nothing was ever too much trouble for his guests and he always made sure we all enjoyed ourselves.”
– Margaret and Fred Squire, Teddington
