Travel Europe for the Wine

Britt Karlsson wrote recently to tell us of a new venture: Wine Tours in Engish. Britt is a respected wine writer and educator based in Paris. She has organised hundreds of wine tours, mostly for Scandinavians. Now her company, BKWine, has announced a wine tour program for English speakers to debut in 2006.

Two trips are scheduled: one, called “3 Classic Regions” that goes to Champagne, Chablis and Burgundy on May 17-21, 2006 and one that goes to Bordeaux on June 8-11, 2006, and that includes both famous big-name chateaux as well as a selection of the most innovative and progressive winemaker in the region. Details of the programs are available on the BKWine site.

The tours are of a short duration so they can fit within you vacation plans, leaving you with other options to explore outside of wine. The prices seem reasonable as well.
