Dear wine friends,
it is only half time of the year 2016. The three spring tours 2016 (Burgundy, Germany North, Germany East) were fabulous and I tremendously enjoyed travelling and tasting top notch wines with my fellow wine aficionados. The fall tours (Germany South, Bordeaux) are booked up. I am now scheduling the tours for the year 2017 and I would like to give you the heads-up on the exact dates for you to have ample time to plan your travels.

Looking forward to travelling with many of you in 2017,
