It's great to see our self-drive Bordeaux and the Loire Valley experience featured in The Telegraph's round up of 'epic European road trips you must do in your lifetime'.

This five-day road trip will see you discovering the best of these delightful French regions. "The west of the country, in Bordeaux and the Loire Valley, makes for particularly excellent road-tripping at a leisurely pace. The area’s chateaux-studded estates should be lingered at, their wines (responsibly) tasted, the charming towns explored."

As we FINALLY saw a very welcome return to international travel at the beginning of the year, we cannot tell you how fabulous it has felt to be arranging exciting, unforgettable wine holidays again, and doing what we do best.

It has been almost a year since we last posted. As we hit the “post” button that time, demand for holidays soared across the board to never-before-seen heights and like many of our peers, the Grape Escapes team have spent the past twelve months battling tirelessly to arrange as many trips as humanly possible for our travel-starved clients, whilst taking great care not to compromise on the quality of our service and experiences.

Thank you so much to those of you who have travelled with us in 2022- it has been so lovely to help you to celebrate your post-lockdown freedom in style.

Whether you are already in the throes of planning your 2023 holidays, or whether you are just seeking some inspiration at the moment, we are delighted to share with you some travel tips to help you on your way. Have a look at the below page on our web site :-)
