Dear wine friends,
We all met at some tastings, wine conferences, wine pairing dinners and you all expressed interest in coming along on a wine tour I organise.
After a two year pause due to Covid, this year I resume organizing wine tours. Many people are itchy to travel and to experience once again the immense pleasure to taste the wines exactly at the spot where they are grown and made.
I moved all tours into the summer and fall believing thatthe Covid threat will have ceased by then. With all health safety measures and a vaccine in place we can enjoy a wonderful journey during the summer and fall this year.
I have three tours to offer:
Rhône Valley Tour: June 20 - June 29, 2022
We will travel from Lyon to Avignon, hence experiencing the Northern Rhône Syrahs and the GSM wines of the Southern Rhône as well as white wines of the Rhône Valley. We travel through the fabulous Provence landscape where the Lavender fields are in full bloom. Of course we will also explore the Roman heritage and Arles, the city of Van Gogh.
Germany South - Alsace: July 01 - July 10, 2022
Germany’s southern regions are heaven for the Pinot Noir lovers. I quote Jancis Robinson: "These wines should be of serious interest to those looking for better-priced alternatives to red Burgundy.” We cross the Rhine river into the Alsatian wine region and discover those breathtakingly beautiful quaint villages and stunning Pinot Noirs as well as wines from the traditional grape varieties. Of course we will have some exquisite meals at Michelin restaurants. We owe that to the French tradition.
Bordeaux: September 20 - September 29, 2022
During this tour we explore all important subregion: Left bank, Right bank, Graves, Pessac-Léognan, Bourg, Blaye. We visit classified Châteaux as well as some of the ‘petits châteaux’, where you will find excellent wines for a smaller budget. Of course, wine pairing meals play an important part on this tour too and of course we will have some delicious oysters from the Bassin d’Arcachon
All wine tours are basically wine classes on the ground.
If you are interested in joining one of the tours please get in touch with me. For all three tours I only have 1 room left. I travel with 12 people only and this year people booked very early.
Don’t hesitate to contact me and ask me all the questions you might have. You can contact me by email and also by phone. I am currently in Germany and the easiest way to speak with me would be to contact me via signal or what’s app at this number: +49 177 337 0281.
Enjoy a wonderful spring season.
Best
Annette
