Welcome to TamasEstates, where the world’s finest wine regions and culinary traditions come alive through unforgettable, author-led journeys. We craft exclusive tours that blend the elegance of historic estates with the vibrant flavors of local culture, inviting you to explore destinations like Tuscany’s sun-kissed vineyards, Bordeaux’s grand châteaux, and Catalonia’s sparkling Cava country. Our mission is to create intimate, immersive experiences that go beyond the ordinary, connecting you with the heart and soul of each region.
Why choose TamasEstates?
Because we believe travel should be personal, meaningful, and transformative. Our small-group tours, limited to just 10-14 guests, ensure every moment feels bespoke. Stay in meticulously restored 14th- to 19th-century manors, châteaux, and masias, each with its own story—think frescoed Medici villas, moat-encircled Loire Valley castles, and Cape Dutch estates framed by mountains. These are not just places to sleep; they are gateways to history, offering unique experiences like costumed Renaissance tours, private opera recitals, and starlit fado performances.
Our itineraries are curated by passionate experts who live and breathe their regions. Sip Barolo with Piedmont winemakers, hunt truffles with a trifolao and his dog, or master paella on Catalonia’s coast. From sunrise hot air balloon rides over Napa Valley to bush braais under South Africa’s starry skies, every activity is designed to spark joy and discovery. We partner with local artisans, Michelin-starred chefs, and family-run farms to bring you authentic, farm-to-table flavors—think goat cheese tastings in the Loire, biltong pairings in Stellenbosch, and Port wine feasts in the Douro Valley.
