One particularly great destination for a vineyard getaway is the small town of Franschhoek in South Africa. When French refugees settled here in the 17th century, they brought with them their wine making expertise which has been carried down over the generations. This has contributed to Franschoek becoming known as the food and wine capital of South Africa.
Perhaps the finest accommodation here for winery holidays is Mont Rochelle, a hotel overlooking a beautiful vineyard which is part of the Virgin Limited Edition collection and located at the foot of the Klein Dassenberg Mountain Range. You can tour the vineyards and sample their award-winning wines before enjoying an evening meal at one of the on-site restaurants which offers cuisine prepared using only local ingredients which are an absolute taste sensation.
If you are looking for something a little closer to home then there are few places better for a winery holiday in Europe than the Douro Valley in Portugal. With a history stretching back over two millennia, the Douro Valley is one of the oldest wine lands in the world. The legendary wine making processes here and the outstanding beauty of the region have led to it becoming an UNESCO World Heritage Site, all of which adds to the allure of enjoying wine tasting getaways here.
There are plenty of different experiences to be enjoyed in the Douro Valley, including private tastings in enchanting wine cellars, tours of the vineyards and even spa based wine offerings such as Antioxidant Grape Facials using some of the local produce.
This is just a short sample of the many different destinations and styles of winery holidays and vineyard breaks that our travel experts can help you arrange.
