The Company

Grape Escapes is a specialist wine tour operator. We only offer trips to five top French wine regions and hence are experts in those regions. Grape Escapes is a rapidly growing company which is attracting a wide range of clients. We have a large number of clients who return to us year on year and many more come through recommendations. The reason we attract such loyalty from customers is that not only do we provide an excellent trip, we also pride ourselves on giving superb customer service.

Our Ethos

At Grape Escapes, we make our clients' trips memorable for all the right reasons and provide value for money, irrespective of budget. All of our trips are tailor made to take account of client preferences. We want you to have the Corporate trip that stands out from the rest, where your clients remember the experience for its quality and enjoyment.

Why Should You Choose Us?

We are experts in our field. We don't attempt to organise parties in London or hospitality in Monte Carlo. We focus solely on the destinations that we know and understand - those where we have the best relationships with the best suppliers. We have the knowledge to select the activities that will suit you best.

We use wine makers who not only produce great wines but also provide the best welcome to our guests. Every trip is planned to give our clients the broadest experience - for example, we would select three wine makers that use different grape varieties or have a different terroir to enable guests to experience the differences between them.

In addition to the best wine and Champagne Houses, we have access to unusual activities such as abseiling into Champagne cellars and Sabrage (removing the cork from a Champagne bottle with a cavalry sword) as well as more conventional go karting and ropes activity courses etc.

And of course, no wine tasting experience would be complete without gourmet food to accompany it. We have used our expertise to assess the best restaurants and then negotiated excellent "tasting meals" for our clients. Alternatively, we can also arrange gala dinners as the guests of prestigious Champagne Houses and classed growth chateaux in Bordeaux. Finally, we understand that attendance at hospitality events often needs to be justified by your clients, therefore we work with our customers to build in the necessary 'conference time' and after dinner speakers to add this essential element to each event.

Grape Escapes is the UK's largest specialist operator to the Champagne region and arranges in excess of 200 trips per year. This gives us the opportunity to access excellent rates and service with our suppliers. We are a full service trip organiser who can offer the services of an events management company with the expert local knowledge of a destination management company.

We are a small company, with a dedicated corporate support team who give individual attention to each client. Our team will be happy to advise you of the best trip for you based on first hand experience of the venues and hotels.
