We used Grape Escapes for a bucket list trip to the Champagne Region of France. From beginning to end, the communication was great and the planning process was so easy. We even made a last minute change to the itinerary, and Maddi was very accommodating. Maddi, who planned our trip, did an excellent job with the itinerary and timing of tastings and meals. We stayed in Eperney, and the first day was filled with smaller, family owned vineyard visits. The second day was filled with the larger champagne houses. What made the trip even better is that 2 meals were included in the booking, but they provided recommendations and made bookings for the other meals, and all were fabulous. Grape Escapes, and specifically Maddi, far exceeded our expectations and we would certainly recommend them to others.

What an AWESOME trip!! We have just come back from a self guided trip in France visiting Champagne, Burgundy and the Loire Valley.  With minimal time for planning and working within our budget, Rachel organised a wonderful 24 day itinerary for us including items from our 'would like to do list'.  The variety and detail included for pick up/drop offs, accommodation, meals, tours/tastings and e-bike tours was exceptional - all we had to do was turn up, eat, drink and enjoy a truely stress free holiday!!!  We have no hesitations in recommending Grape Escapes and Rachel to plan your holiday and look forward to enlisting their expertise again for our next holiday.

Great, great traveling service! This is now my 2nd time working with Nicola Goldsmith and her team. Nicola organized my first trip to Champagne last year (a trip for 5) then a Bordeaux trip this year (a trip for 14) and both were just spectacular! Their choice of itinerary and guides are what sets the apart from other agency. Very much looking forward to my next Grape Escape trip next year!!

My father and I just returned from our 6th incredible trip with Grape Escapes, this time to the Rioja region. Our knowledgeable and passionate guide made our experience enthralling and authentic, and as always the planning and execution of the trip was first rate from the Grape Escapes team. These trips are not just tasing wine but getting to know the local culture and countryside. This time we visited wineries from both small families and large high tech producers, ate at fine dining and local's restaurants as well as enjoying a guided tapas run at a picturesque hill top village! We are all already looking forward to booking our next trip for 2025.

Booked a private Barolo, Barbaresco and Gattinara tour with Giulia at Grape Escapes. Guides were great and knowledgeable, wineries visited provided a good representation of the areas. Hotels booked did not disappoint. Will use Grape Escapes and Giulia for our excursion.
