About Us

We are your VIP Wine Tour Managers. 

 

We have been working in the travel and hospitality industry for the past 25 years delivering excellent customer service whilst travelling worldwide. 

During our travels we visited many amazing wineries and our passion for wine grew. 

Over the years we made some great friends and contacts within the wine industry.  We have tasted some of the worlds best wines, eaten at amazing gourmet and Michelin starred restaurants and local traditional restaurants, and relaxed in fantastic hotels around the world. 

 

We now want to share our passion for good food, wine, travel and people with you, and take you to the wonderful places we have visited.  Meet the top wine producers, eat at the Michelin-starred restaurants and stay in beautiful relaxing hotels. 

With our hard work and dedication we will strive to create the perfect personalised VIP tour for you.  We will be with you throughout to personally ensure that everything goes smoothly on your VIP Wine Tour.
