A Down Under Food, Wine and Travel Adventure

Take advantage of this incredible opportunity that has just been extended. If you’ve never been to Australia or you need an excuse to go back, this food and wine tour is truly the way to do it accompanied by The Vancouver Sun wine writer Anthony Gismondi. The Sun is now offering this remarkable tour for $1,000 per person less (based on double occupancy) than had been first listed due to an airline schedule change.

If you’re not familiar with the tour already let us entice you a little; it is filled with experiences that you cannot purchase.

STILL NEED CONVINCING?

It’s a long way to fly, but Anthony, and experienced Vancouver Sun host Cheri Caleb, are committed to making sure that this is a trip of a lifetime for you. With an exchange rate favourable to Canadians and almost all of your expenses included, it’s also an extraordinary value. Don’t delay as we’re only taking 22 people and there are just three seats remaining; the Tour will close as soon as those spots are filled.

$7,280 per person, double occupancy. Includes all international and domestic flights and taxes.

(Note: The $1000 savings mentioned above has already been removed from this price.)
