We hope that you are well and had a fantastic Easter. Here at Grape Escapes, we have been spending a little too much time sipping crisp and fresh Sauvignon Blancs and light, pretty pinks from Provence to tantalise our taste buds and get us in the mood for the sunshine (which we really hope is well on its way to gracing us with its much-needed presence here in the United Kingdom.)
It appears that the wine may have gone to our heads a little, and the great news for you is that this means that you can benefit from some fabulous special offers and discounts! See below for my two favourites…
