If you are interested in a more formally organised visit to a wine region, HarperWells have teamed up with Arblaster & Clarke Tours, the wine holiday specialists – if you have ever wanted a wine orientated holiday in one of the exciting wine regions of the world, this is the way to do it!

So what do Arblaster & Clarke have to offer?

On their special holidays you will discover beautiful parts of the world from a unique perspective - through the wines and through the people who create them. In the company of knowledgeable guides and sociable travelling companions you will taste great wines in the wonderful settings of the wine estates and enjoy rustic lunches or sumptuous suppers with the winemakers.

They travel to over twenty wine making countries, on their classic escorted tours you can visit top quality European vineyards as well as the far-flung vineyards of Australia, New Zealand and South America. On these tours you will meet winemakers and visit cellars not always open to the general public.

The tours also range from vineyard walks in the classic wine regions of Europe, self-drive Champagne or Bordeaux weekends, escorted Champagne weekends tasting over 25 different champagnes, to a Wine Cruise on a super yacht, and relaxing luxury Barge holidays through French vineyards.

For Opera & Wine lovers they offer escorted and independent tailor made tours featuring performances at La Scala, the Puccini Festival, or Verona.

Arblaster & Clarke can also offer their experience to create tailor made trips for private groups, clubs and companies. Visit http://www.winetours.co.uk/for more details.
