Food & Drink

This new category for Solos has been suggested by several of our travellers. Here is the chance not just to experience a destination, but to sample it's food and drink, or simply indulge as part of a week away or a short break.

New for 2012 we are pleased to be offering weekend breaks in conjunction with Warner Leisure Hotels, with stays in stunning historic buildings, in great locations. We have chosen Holme Lacy, a Grade-1 listed stately home near the Wye Valley and Thoresby Hall, a Grade-1 listed mansion on the edge of Sherwood Forest. With both breaks we include
‘Getting to Grips with Grapes’ – a fun and useful guide to wine, an upgraded dining experience plus entertainment on Saturday evening. Our Crete Gastronomy week is in part
a ‘hands on experience’.

With the Mediterranean diet said to endow longevity and good health here is an opportunity to combine this with a wonderful relaxing week of Cretan hospitality.

In addition to these new options we have revised our break to Spain which now includes wine tasting plus we still have our informal culinary break, Italian Style.
