Few countries are as synonymous with wine as France. From Bordeaux and Burgundy to Champagne and the Rhône Valley, its wine regions offer centuries of tradition, celebrated estates and some of the world’s most prestigious wines.

Spain
Spain is one of Europe’s most exciting wine destinations, with regions ranging from Rioja and Ribera del Duero to Priorat and Jerez. For a first visit, Rioja is hard to beat. Expect rolling vineyards, historic bodegas and excellent food, alongside some of Spain’s most recognisable red wines.
