ALSACE – Wine Tour on the French Side of the Rhine

LANGUEDOC-ROUSSILLON – Surprising wine finds in the South of France

Bordeaux is often considered the centre of the wine trade and home to some of the world's finest wines, but traditionally Bordeaux has not had the best reputation for welcoming visitors. However, things are changing very fast, and now, more and more châteaux are opening their doors to wine tourists – some with the complete razzmatazz of horse-rides through the vineyards and luxury bedrooms to stay in; others simply offering a warm welcome to taste their wines.

We're so pleased to share an extraordinary find with you this week! Our Wine Editor, Wink Lorch, is also the publisher of Wine Travel Guides. Wine Travel Guides are extraordinary, downloadable travel guides to wine regions in Europe. I've not seen anything like it, and can't wait to get the chance to use them myself when we head to Europe.
