EXPERIENCES 2025
All of our Vines trips offer insider’s access to epic meals by renowned chefs, remarkable wines and wine experiences, local cultural activities, and wine tasting/blending sessions with our masterful winemakers. But we have now segmented the trips into three different “levels” to offer something for everyone.
- Silver trips are our most accessible level of travel: 3 and 4-star hotels, along with more casual insider’s dining and wine experiences.
- Gold trips are a slight step up in class: 4 and 5-star hotels, a bit higher level of (and even some Michelin-starred) dining, with wines to match.
- Platinum trips are the ultimate in luxury travel: 5 and 5+star hotels, culinary experiences of a lifetime (Michelin-starred or otherwise!) and extraordinary world-class wines.
