Curated journeys
Follow a flavour, tradition or drink across extraordinary places.
Our destination guides connect flavour with geography, growing conditions and local craft. Start with a style you like, then follow its story.
Traditional-method English sparkling wines often use Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, but producers also make other styles. Read the sweetness, grape and production information rather than assuming every English sparkling wine is alike. Explore the regional guide for producers, food pairings and bottle choices.
Explore English wineDevon and Cornwall offer vineyards making both still and sparkling wines. The English wine guide explores producers and regional differences, helping you choose what to learn about or taste. For a visit, confirm opening times, booking and access directly with the vineyard before travelling.
Discover Devon and Cornwall vineyardsChampagne comes from its protected French region and uses the traditional method; prosecco commonly uses a tank method, while cava uses the traditional method under its own rules. Grapes, ageing and sweetness also shape the result. Compare the actual style and label rather than treating one category as automatically better.
Start with the Champagne guideBoth Spanish regions are well known for Tempranillo-led reds, but climate, blending, ageing and producer choices create varied styles. Rioja can include bright, elegant or developed oak-influenced wines; Ribera del Duero often offers a fuller, structured direction. These are tendencies, so compare individual bottles and ageing information.
Explore RiojaMarlborough Sauvignon Blanc often offers vivid citrus, gooseberry or tropical-fruit flavours, while other regions and producer methods bring different expressions. Some wines are crisp and direct; others use texture or oak for a broader feel. Use the destination guide to look beyond a single national flavour stereotype.
Discover New Zealand drinksChenin Blanc is an inviting starting point for white-wine exploration, while Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Pinotage offer contrasting red directions. South Africa includes varied climates and regions, so choose by grape, producer and style. Our destination feature connects the wines with the places and traditions behind them.
Explore South AfricaRhum agricole is rum made from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses. It can show grassy, herbal or fruit-led character, depending on production and ageing. Martinique's AOC has specific geographical and production requirements; rhum agricole made elsewhere should not automatically be described as Martinique AOC.
