Wine Trips

Not all wine tours are the same!

We have put together an AMAZING wine tour for you with our partner school run by local expert Linda Field from Auberge du Vin in the heart of the Ventoux vineyard. You will also be accompanied by a qualified wine tutor from the Local Wine School network.

Our group sizes are small and intimate

The group size is small and intimate enabling us to visit higher quality small artisan producers that larger tour companies just cannot arrange. The maximum number of guests is 12 and you will taste some truly stunning Southern Rhone wines. 

Linda, who runs Rhone Masterclasses across the Local Wine School network, has lived in the region for many years and is able to select some of the best local restaurants for your delicious lunches and dinners.

Auberge-du-Vin-Terrace

Your accommodation will be in the luxurious rooms of the Auberge (with swimming pool), with its own purpose built wine teaching facility overlooking Mt Ventoux and the surrounding vineyards.

"Your relaxed and professional way of explaining everything makes it all seem so easy and uncomplicated. And in a beautiful setting too."
