How 'The Vines' Brings Wine Lovers Together on Group Trips Around the World | Condé Nast Traveler
"The Vines isn't cheap to join, either, but Evans says guests appreciate the value. “Our members want to maximize their chance of having an amazing trip," says Evans. "The issue is time, not money—and they know with us, it’s going to be an extraordinary experience.” For those not immediately convinced, The Vines allows non-members to do a trial trip. But with just 16-20 guests, each all-inclusive itinerary (starting at $6,710 for members, on top of the initiation fee; trial members pay about double) offers a remarkable level of access to unique activities—which is how I found myself cooking beside Mallmann at The Vines Resort & Spa."
