TAKING A WALK OR A BIKE RIDE IN WINE TERRITORIES IS THE WINE TOURIST’S DREAM. THE "GRAND WINE JOURNEYS 2014," BY BUTTERFIELD & ROBINSON IS THE LUXURY TRAVEL PACKAGE FOR TOURISTS WHO WANT TO EXPERIENCE FINE WINES

Taking a walk or a bike ride among ancient landscapes and places rich in history with a good glass of wine and being able to also visit the winery where the product is made is now a reality. The wine connoisseur and lover of green spaces’ dream trip has been created by Butterfield & Robinson - the largest luxury "active travel" agency in the world will launch "Grand Wine Journeys 2014", the package travel combining walks and bike rides among world renowned vineyards and exclusive access to the best wineries to experience fine wines. Among the countries that you can visit are Germany, Spain (with a visit to the spectacular Ysios winery designed by Santiago Calatrava), France, which provides special tour just for Bordeaux and of course Italy, which offers a glimpse of Tuscany and Piedmont.
While in Tuscany you can visit the wine cellars of Ornellaia, Tenuta San Guido and stay among the vineyards of Brunello di Montalcino or Castiglion del Bosco Ferragamo, or at the Moretti family’s L’Andana inn (and maybe eat at the Trattoria Toscana on the Estate, whose head chef is Alain Ducasse) in Maremma; in the Piedmont region between a walk and a ride in Langa you can sip Gaja’s fine wines and stay in La Morra at the Palas Cerequio, of Michele Chiarlo brand wine.
