Exclusive locations such as the winemaker next to Angelina and Brad’s vineyard in France and the Sula Vineyard, one of India’s oldest producers.
This immense wine trail lasts 42 days and pays homage to the route that Laithwaites itself has made in order to specially select their wines.
Beth Willard, expert Wine Buyer at Laithwaite’s Wine, says:
“The Grape Escape is an all-out celebration of wine. Of course it’s ambitious, but it will give lovers of wine the chance to undertake an unforgettable voyage through some of the most renowned wine spots in the world, as well as many places that are not traditionally associated with winemaking. One day you’ll be sipping wine looking over at Table Mountain and the next you’ll be deep in the ancient cellars of Transylvania, it’s a truly epic adventure.
Every year in my role as a wine buyer we are fortunate enough to visit these incredible locations in search of great wines and so it’s great to be able to give people the opportunity to walk those same vines, to taste wines straight from famous barrels and to admire the backdrops enjoyed by some of the world’s best wine producers.”
With stunning spots being covered on the voyage from Mount Etna, Table Mountain to the120km cellar tunnels of Cricova in Maldova, this really is a wine connoisseurs dream tour.
