Hotel Marques De Riscal, Spain

Designed by Frank Gehry and set in the Rioja region of Spain, it is not surprising that wine features heavily in any stay here. It can be tasted onsite or at any of the local vineyards that the hotel can arrange for you to visit. There are two restaurants so depending on how you feel, you can dine in the Restaurante Marques de Riscal if you want a formal experience, but other times you can be casual in the Bistro 1860. Wherever you choose you will be in the good hands of Francis Paniego who was the first chef cooking Riojan cuisine to be awarded a Michelin star. To make sure you never have wine out of your mind there are treatments in the spa that use wine. Examples are Merlot body wraps and Cabernet body scrubs. And if you can be bothered to venture outside, there’s plenty in the glorious Rioja countryside to feed your soul.

Le Moulin De Mougins, France

Just 15 minutes from Cannes, for some time the biggest event for Le Moulin de Mougins was that Picasso had died here. Now, far more people interested in food than art that visit Mougins and here they get to enjoy one of the lovely foodie hotels of France that boasts 2 Michelin stars. Culinary schools are provided and the specialities are wine tastings and learning how to make pastry – maybe not in that order though! The village itself is beautiful and will only enhance the dining experience and then of course, the stunning Côte D’Azur is on the doorstep.
