INTRODUCTION
Welcome to a unique journey through Europe's finest wine regions, designed like a tasting menu—five distinct courses, each a destination, blended together by a single theme and guided by the La Paulée® team.
La Paulée® Journeys are about rare access to the bottles, the vineyards, and the people behind them. This journey is hosted by the La Paulée® team, whose world is wine, hospitality, and shared experience. They don't simply accompany a trip, they create a community around it.
Across Sussex's cutting-edge vineyards, Burgundy's storied terroirs, Umbria's medieval landscapes, Rioja's living traditions, and a mystery dessert finale, guests are invited into moments that aren't available off the shelf — private tastings, insider introductions, and conversations that bring each region to life.
