Day 2 Stonehenge & Bluestone Vineyard
This morning, we begin our day at Stonehenge, an English Heritage site and a world-renowned landmark. Over 4,500 years old, this extraordinary marvel, stands proudly in an ancient landscape and serves as a powerful testament to human ingenuity, imagination, and creativity. Don’t miss the 5,500-year-old man in the exhibition and the Neolithic village. Afterwards, we visit Bluestone Vineyard to participate in one of their tours and tasting experiences. We will learn about the vineyard’s origins, the highlights of the growing season, and how they manage to produce premium grapes for sparkling wines that compete globally, despite the challenges posed by the climate.
Day 3 National Trust Stourhead House & Salisbury
This morning, we start our day at the National Trust Stourhead. Stourhead’s English landscape garden is an internationally celebrated ‘living work of art.’ The neo-Palladian house is one of the first of its kind and was built by the Hoare banking family. In the afternoon, we head to Salisbury, a medieval city with historic streets and alleyways, half-timbered buildings, and a magnificent cathedral that houses an original copy of the Magna Carta, featuring the tallest spire in the UK.
