Small Group Imbibing Adventures


Welcolm to Tipple Tours (formerly known as Smiling Grape Adventure Tours) a travel company dedicated to the fine art of mixing adventure with a tipple or three (we don’t count that closely). We specialise in quirky, unforgettable journeys where culture and cuisine are always served with a side of mischief. Our tours are ideal for food lovers, wine whisperers, beer believers, thrill-seekers and anyone who suspects that sightseeing improves dramatically when there’s a glass involved.

Since our launch in 2018, we’ve racked up some truly unforgettable experiences that have included:

Hosting a wine tasting inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

Embarking on a 25,000-mile pub crawl around the world

Exploring hidden ex-Soviet regions of Eastern Europe

Surviving a Red Horse beer fuelled karaoke marathon in the Philippines

Attempting ‘Wine Tasting Surfing’ in Portugal. Sadly the waves won
