DEFINITIONS FOR TOUR OPERATORS WISHING TO BE LISTED:
Apply for a listing >>
Travel-quest's wine tours and wine holidays section lists holidays and breaks where the primary focus is on touring wine growing regions, vineyards and wineries; trying the wines, seeing the grapes on the vines and looking at the production of the wines on the estate. The emphasis should be on the touring – offering guided or un-guided tours of working vineyards and wineries. Many of the tours will be based from inside, or very close to, a vineyard and will normally visit a number of different vineyards and wineries over the course of a trip. Many, or even most, of the wine tours listed will include an element of wine tasting, but this will be there to compliment the touring of the wine estates (where it is the primary focus that trip should be listed in the appropriate dedicated section instead).
