- Wine Tour Destinations
Given the wide range of travel options, our standard package prices do not include travel. The principle options are as follows:
Lyon is located around 7 hours’ drive from Calais and therefore this travel method would be suitable for longer trips of perhaps a week or more that combine other regions such as Champagne or Burgundy. Avignon, the capital of the Southern Rhone is another 2 ¼ hours’ drive from Lyon and again, driving would be more suitable for those enjoying a longer trip. Grape Escapes can book your Eurotunnel or ferry crossings if required.
We were absolutely delighted with the entire experience; expectations exceeded continually, all four of us commented that we cannot imagine how any aspect could have been bettered (and we are not easily impressed)!
