Wines of the World Evening

Our Mayflower Travel office in Billericay are hosting a Wines of the World evening on Wednesday 6th October at the Village Bar and Grill in conjunction with the Wine Maestro from Billericay.

The evening will consist of a structured Wine Tasting event with eight selected wines from around the world.  The Wine Maestro will talk you though how to taste the wine (though I am sure most of you will have had much practice) and Lorna will do a small talk on possible wine tours, or just holidays in the regions from where the wine comes from.

Colchester Travel Coffee morning success.

Our low key coffee morning for our valued customers was a successful and despite the poor weather we raised just over £75 for Macmillan Cancer.  Thanks to everyone who attended and donated to a worthy cause.

Peak Experience

Just had a visit from an AiTO Ski operator call Peak Experience, and I'm very impressed with their luxury hotel based ski programme to the Italian Dolomites.
They have selected 6 of the best hotels in the region, each of which has outstanding features and qualities, 5 of which have ski in/out facilites.  The Rosa Alpina is the only one that does not, and they offer a private car dropoff and collection to the slopes.  Just telephone and they come and collect you !

Private jets and helicopter transfers are available, along with scheduled BA flights and car transfers.

This is not for everyone, but if it sounds like something that you would like to know more about, please get in contact with us.
