Some wine tastings come with glossy brochures and gift shop exits. The ones we love most? They come with dusty cellars, passed-down secrets, and glasses poured with stories - not sales pitches.
At Case Travel, we’re about going deeper. Whether you're a casual sipper or a serious oenophile, these are the wine moments that linger - long after the bottle’s gone.
Here are some of our favourite by-appointment-only, off-the-radar wine experiences from around the world.
Provence, France
Rosé by the lavender fields
In the hills behind Saint-Rémy and Cassis, you’ll find family-owned domaines where time slows down. We’ll book you a private visit where you’ll stroll the vines, taste delicate rosés in old stone courtyards, and maybe even share an apéro with the winemaker. Often, it’s just you, the breeze, and the rosé.
Perfect for: Couples, villa guests, or groups wanting a slow, sensory afternoon.
Tuscany, Italy
Chianti without the crowds
Skip the bus tours and head into the countryside where family cellars hide behind wrought iron gates. Taste Brunello straight from the barrel, pair Chianti Classico with handmade pasta, and enjoy olive oil pressed just down the road. Some estates offer tastings in the vineyard itself - candlelit, if you’re lucky.
Perfect for: Honeymooners, milestone birthdays, and anyone chasing La Dolce Vita.
Stellenbosch, South Africa
Wines with a view (and heart)
South Africa’s winelands are breathtaking - but beyond the beautiful tasting rooms are family farms doing incredible things. Think: sustainable winemaking, female-owned vineyards, and organic estates producing small-batch magic. Let us arrange a curated tour with food pairings and a driver, of course.
Perfect for: Wine lovers with a conscience -and a camera.
Mendoza, Argentina
Malbec at the foot of the Andes
This one’s for the adventurers. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and sun-drenched vines, Mendoza’s boutique wineries offer deep reds, deeper stories, and often a wood-fired lunch that lasts half the day. We’ll arrange intimate tastings with owners and a private driver who knows every twist in the road.
Perfect for: Bucket-list travellers, honeymooners, or friends on a South America escape.
Mallorca, Spain
Vines in the valley
Yes, Mallorca has beaches - but inland, in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains, lie tiny vineyards you’d never know existed. Taste native grapes like Manto Negro and Callet with artisanal cheeses, or go all-in with a full finca feast. Some tastings take place under the olive trees with no one else in sight.
Perfect for: A surprise add-on to a villa stay, or a laidback day with friends.
Marlborough, New Zealand
Sauvignon Blanc from the source
World-famous for its crisp whites, Marlborough is best explored slowly. We’ll book you into cellar doors where the owners pour for you themselves, explain the terroir, and might even invite you into their home for lunch. This is wine tasting with heart - and scenery that will leave you speechless.
Perfect for: Once-in-a-lifetime trips, self-drive itineraries, or foodies seeking freshness.
How Case Travel Makes It Happen
These experiences aren’t on tour apps or mass booking sites. We arrange them personally, through trusted local partners and insider contacts. That means:
Private appointments, not public tastings
Tailored pairings based on your palate
Seamless travel planning: transport, timing, and translation handled
The option to ship bottles home (so you’re not cradling them on the flight)
