Wine Tours to the New World
Since 2008 I have run tours to wine regions in the New World. My tours are fun and informative, and we really get to know the people who make the wine and tend the vines. We have visited South Africa, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, California and Oregon, you can read the tour reports by clicking on the links below. In 2019 we go to Australia for the first time – with modules to Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria.
Australia
In November 2019 we visit Australia for the first time – a long awaited destination. I am running specific modules to Western Australia, based in Margaret River, South Australia, based in Adelaide and Victoria, based in Melbourne.
South Africa
In November 2017 I ran two tours to South Africa, the destination of my first long haul tour in 2008.
USA
In 2016 I ran tours to California and Oregon. Our California tour took us off the tourist track, visiting predominantly small, boutique, family owned estates and contrasting them with larger producers. In Oregon we tasted the same grape varieties in California, plus some surprising others, and explored the impact of the cooler climate, maritime influence and soil type.
New Zealand
I ran tours to New Zealand in 2014. Please read my blog to find out about our adventures down under.
