Original Retirement Present

Adopt a Vine and Make your Own Organic Wine ! 

For a wine-making year, your lucky recipient will follow the progress of their own organic vines in an award-winning French vineyard, and end up with their own personalised bottles of wine that the grapes from their vines have helped to make.

You can offer the virtual experience, or choose to include up to three Wine Experience Days.  During the Wine Experience Days they will visit the vineyard, taste the wines, savour a typical winemaker's meal, and actively participate in some of the key stages in making the wine such as pruning their vines, harvesting their grapes, or helping with the blending.

The Wine Experience Days are for two people, so it also provides the ideal opportunity to get away and explore in more detail the finest wine producing regions of France. What better way to spend some of all that newly found free time! Once the wine is matured, they will receive their own-labeled bottles of wine to enjoy with friends and family. No need to look any further – the Gourmet Odyssey Wine Experience makes the perfect original retirement gift!
