A holiday is often the perfect opportunity to expand an existing interest. Learn to cook ethnic dishes from local experts, increase your knowledge of wine by talking to the people who actually produce it. Paint or photograph wonderful landscapes, explore tropical gardens and sites of historical interest, learn about the wildlife, plants and culture of different regions. The opportunities are endless.
Most hobbies and pastimes benefit from the added dimension provided by overseas travel. Cooking and wine tasting are an excellent example. How better to expand your culinary skills than by talking to chefs whose expertise has been acquired over generations, often handed down in great secrecy.
Wine buffs wishing to expand their knowledge can do no better than visit the vineyards and talk to the people who actually grow the grapes. Learn about the types of grape, the influence of various soils and the importance of tradition in the winemaking process.
For something a little different why not cycle leisurely through France restocking your wine cellar as you go. We can arrange gentle cycling tours with vehicle support, allowing you to wander along quiet country lanes, stopping to sample the local produce wherever and whenever you wish. And if you find a particularly pleasing vintage, your purchase will be collected and transported with your luggage to your final destination.
