Following the success of recent mystery tours to Worcestershire, Cornwall and Gloucestershire, next year we're off to Shropshire!  We've booked a Grade 1 listed hotel with ensuites with walk-in showers and an AA Rosette restaurant.  If you're genuinely interested in joining us, contact Rob at robert.jenkins@hotmail.co.uk.

With this 8 day and 9 night holiday, we will be staying in two hotels on a B&B basis but with either lunch or dinner included each day.  We will be visiting Domaines for tastings in both regions.

The trip is in the very early stages of being put together, however, based on current thinking, the trip is likely to come in at around £1950 per person sharing a room with a single supplement of £500 for those members in a room on a sole occupancy basis. 

This trip is now fully booked.  However, if you would like to be added to the waiting list, please contact Rob on robert.jenkins@hotmail.co.uk.
