Wine and gastronomy travel in Europe

Three wine and gastronomy tours are on the autumn travel program from BKWine. One classic trip, to Bordeaux; one new destination, to the Douro Valley in Portugal; and one gastronomic adventure to Champagne. The tours are organised by Britt Karlsson (pictured above), founder of BKWine, based in Paris, who specialises in wine, food and gastronomic travel. The new tours on the program are:
• September 8-12: Bordeaux, the great classic
• October 22-26: the Douro Valley in Portugal
• November 12-16: Wine & Gastronomy in Champagne

All tours take place over a long week-end, Thursday to Sunday. The tours are led and guided by Britt herself or by one of BKWine's expert wine guides.

Britt explains the aim behind her wine tours: "I want people to learn more about wine and at the same time enjoy themselves. I put a lot of effort into designing the program, choosing the most interesting producers and making them varied and interesting. Since I am also a wine writer and journalist I am fortunate to have an extensive network of contacts that allows me to put together truly exceptional programs."

BKWine focuses solely on wine and gastronomic travel. Over the years the company has organised more than two hundred wine tours to France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Hungary and Austria. BKWine also arranges custom designed tours.
