Every other year we hold an event or special travel experience for our Bacchus members. In October of 2025 we offer you a unique Rhone and Burgundy and cruise and tour program with a very special and knowledgeable host. Sommelier Clare Tudor will enlighten and inform about all things with the wines of Provence, the Rhone Valley and Burgundy.
