How long
have you got?

Length changes the trip more than the destination does. Three days is one region and one base. A fortnight is a route between several, and a month is a different kind of holiday altogether — with a real risk of tasting fatigue.

Up to a week, we tell you what that number of days actually buys you in each region — which is not the same as the region’s own recommended length. Beyond a week, the unit stops being a region and becomes a route, so the fourteen- and thirty-day pages propose sequences instead.

Working the other way round?

If you already know roughly where, the region guides each open with the length that suits them. If timing is the open question, start with the wine year.
