We Are Where The Wine Is

Havens for Wine Lovers

For those who appreciate a nice glass of wine, few things in life compare to the bliss of being able to wander through vineyards. While in the past a trip to a top wine region might have easily included a vineyard tour or two, these days you can take it even further with overnight stays in the heart of established and emerging wine regions. 

Wine tourism seems like an incredibly compelling prospect after so much time spent exploring the world’s best wine regions from the comfort of our own homes. And what better way to get fully immersed than by resting your head in wine country?

VIK, Chile

Known for: Red and Rosé Wines

While always placing innovation and science at the centre of everything they do, VIK is set among the vines, with the mighty Andes providing a stunning backdrop. Accommodating all kinds of guests, VIK hosts an array of activities for those who wish to get out and about as they bike among the vines, while cooking and yoga classes are on offer for those who stay behind. Each stay is fully customisable, with the VIK ethos being that just every singular element comes together to produce exceptional wine.

Castello di Vicarello, Italy

Known for: Bordeaux-style Red Wines

Imagine a stone-walled castle set amongst miles of lusciously green, rolling hills surrounded by vineyards, sunshine, and clouds so close that you can literally walk through them. That’s what awaits you on your visit to Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany. Situated near the small village of Cinigiano, the castle is an award-winning hotel, boasting some of the most beautiful suites that feel like a dream from which you never want to wake. Run by Carlo and Aurora, along with their sons, Castello di Vicarello never fails in their attempts to make each experience as personal as possible for their guests.

Six Senses Duoro, Portugal

Known for: Port Wines

Often considered to be one of the best hotels in Portugal, it goes without saying that wine is a focus here, with an impressive selection of local and Portuguese wines available (there’s even a machine that lets you pour your own glasses; some might say it’s a little too tempting). Staff are extremely knowledgeable about the offering and will help you discover the many local wines and ports on offer, so even if you don’t have time for a tasting, the service still feels personal. The stay? Well, you can treat yourself and book one of the villas, away from the main building, nestled amongst the gardens. Each one has its own private pool and garden, plus kitchens (or, if you’d rather, the option of a chef to come and cook) and multiple rooms available depending on your group size.
