- Wine Tour Destinations
For full accommodation details, please contact us. We have selected a range of smaller hotels and chateau for this tour. The properties are all located outside the large cities, either situated in their own parkland or vineyards, or in small French villages. The hotels proposed all meet our standards for ‘Elegance’ grade accommodation. These are characterful hotels and whilst usually 4* hotels, some of the hotels may lack the facilities to receive the official rating (for example they may not have a lift if it is a historic chateau). We work with a very wide range of hotels in all of our featured regions, therefore we are happy to look at alternatives, if there is a hotel that you would prefer, or if you would like to upgrade some / all of the package to 5* accommodation.
