Touring a Hidden Gem Winery with Cork & Tee

Cork & Tee is a boutique provider of personal travel adventures combining the best of golf with interactive wine and culinary experiences for small groups of two to 20.

Now, I have to tell you that I’ve not come across anything quite like this before, so I can’t really comment on the quality of the experience. I can say, however, if the promises are kept the total experience should be one to remember. It’s certainly something I would like to experience.

As of now, Cork & Tee are running packages to Oregon, California, Ireland and Scotland. Itineraries in Scotland typically include a base in St Andrews, where they can obtain guaranteed tee times at The Old Course, and then a base in either The Highlands to the north in the Inverness area or in the west at Turnberry. Although my interests are mostly golf-related, the wine connection sounds like a great compliment to “the trip of a lifetime.”

These packages are not inexpensive, ranging from around $2,000 for Oregon to $5,500 for an international, week-long stay. Airfare is not included. All of the packages do, however, include luxury, five-star accommodations, or the next best accommodations where a five-star property may not be available.

You can learn more about Cork & Tee by visiting their website. In the meantime, for the latest golf travel information please be sure to sign up for my weekly newsletter.
