The Sunday Times Wine Club
The Sunday Times Wine Club have been hosting special wine trips around the world for its Members for over 34 years. For 2008 and 2009 we have selected a special range of treats for you in fascinating regions of the wine world, giving you the chance to meet our wine producers - often over leisurely meals in the perfect setting of their wine estates.
Join us for a few glorious days in Venice, arriving in great style on the Orient-Express, or simply flying there.
So join us on a Sunday Times Wine Club tour!
Past tours are kept up on the site as a point of reference and also for you to register your interest in particular tours, so that if they are repeated again we know to contact you.
