Top Trips for the Wine-Obsessed

Georgia is the OG of the wine-obsessed – or maybe the OF: Original Fermenter. The first-known wine was produced here in 6,000BCE, and you’ll taste its rich tradition during our nine-day small-group tour of the country. Watch as a master craftsman reveals their 8,000-year-old process step by step and obsess over every glass of limited-batch wines at a Tbilisi winery. Drink up one of the region’s greatest gifts and uncork a world of equally robust culture in this fabulous region, which is just as rich in scenic mountain hikes and soothing sulphur baths.

Jordan is not the first destination that enters anyone’s mind when thinking of a wine expedition. In fact the Middle East is probably the last place you’d look, but Jordan’s relatively young wine scene is fast up-and-coming, as local winemakers blend ancient techniques with modern tech to develop a rich blends of grapes, from classical Cabernet Sauvignon’s to indigenous varieties like Hamdani and Dabouki. Day two of our Discover Jordan trip ends with a street food tour of Amman, followed by a sumptuous tasting session of local wines. Get ahead of the curve, get into Jordanian wines and show off your new-found knowledge to your fellow wine-lovers back home.
