1. Adopt a Vine for your Father's Day Gift with the Gourmet Odyssey Wine Experience

The Gourmet Odyssey Wine Experience is an original Father's Day wine gift that lets your Dad become the adopted owner of some vines for a wine-making year in one of our acclaimed French partner vineyards!  After receiving the Wine Experience gift pack, he will follow all of the key stages at the winery in the making his wine.  Your father will get to choose how he would like to call his vintage, and will receive a personalised bottle of wine for each vine you adopt for him!    

For the more curious, the Gourmet Odyssey Wine Experience can also be supplemented with one of our Wine Experience Days.  Much more than a typical wine or oenology course, each Wine Experience Day is the perfect opportunity to visit the winery, accompanied by the person of his choice, and to share a privileged moment with the winemakers, to taste the wines from the estate, to look after his adopted vines, to get involved in working in the vineyard and helping to make the wine.
