Top Trips For The Wine-Obsessed

Uncork a world of wine when you book these Culture Trip adventures that feature vineyard tours and tastings to make any wine-lover’s mouth water.

That feeling you get when you take the first sip of wine after a long day of work – imagine how much better it would taste after a day of thrilling exploration. Wildlife safaris, then a glass of white. Exploring ancient sites, then discussing over a bottle of red. Go where the wine flows and the world will never disappoint – especially when you book these top small-group trips, perfect if you just can’t say no to vino.

Explore the tastes and terroir of Tuscany in San Gimignano

Embrace la dolce vita on this nine-day Rail Trip, touring the highlights of Northern Italy. Start in Rome and visit the most famous landmarks in the city, including the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum. Next, the moment your taste buds have been waiting for – the Tuscan countryside. We’ll set up shop at Podere La Marronaia, a local farm and winery near San Gimignano, for a tasting extravaganza that includes olive oil and four foodie courses, as well as plenty of wine, naturally. We’ll continue on to have a gourmet food tour in Bologna and a culinary road trip through Emilia-Romagna before ending up in Milan, but we suspect it’s that little farm in Tuscany that you’ll be thinking of on the flight home.
