We have finished the final touches on the program for next year’s wine tour to South America, with Chile and Argentina. As we tend to do, we have reviewed it and renovated it from top to bottom to make it even better. The last tour we did was a very good illustration of that these countries have left behind them the era of over-oaked and all too powerful body-building wines. At the 20 something vineyards we visited the wines were consistently in top class. And the 2017 tour will be even better.
And just the crossing over the Andes would be worth a trip in itself. But you get that included in the wine tour package…
The wine tour program for South Africa is almost finalised but not quite yet. Wait a week or so. The dates are set so you can already pencil it in in your agenda. It will also contain some new elements. There is so much happening in the wine countries in south Africa today so it is important to review and revise the program each year.
This time we will add on the program the wine regions at the southern tip of Africa, with cooler climate. Perhaps the most trendy thing there is in SA right now. And where they have plenty of shark and whales… But we will of course keep the classic South African wine regions too.
