The Rocksure Club

The Wine Society

The Rocksure Club’s Wine Society was designed to bring together those two most happy of bed-fellows - Travel and Wine - providing those with a passion, or a growing interest in wine with the means and the wisdom to explore and enjoy wine in some of the most wonderful parts of the world.

We’ve devised wine lists to accompany your stays at private properties, exclusive events offering privileged access to some of the great, and some of lesser known regions and estates of the world all in the company of owners, winemakers and other kindred spirits. Or, we can simply offer travel and private properties across some of the most sensorial parts of the world - epicurean adventures, or easy going family holidays.

'A bottle of wine begs to be shared; I have never met a miserly wine lover' - Clifton Fadiman, NY Times, March 8, 1987.

Wildlife & Conservation

If you're looking to leave more than footprints in the sand and make a difference by seeking a balance between the natural world and the needs of its human inhabitants, then Conservation travel is for you.

Sustainability, eco-consciousness, conservation - however you want to put it the future of our planet is something we all need to be aware of. Whether you are looking to be a part of an itinerary conservation project or simply looking for a sustainable off-the-grid lodge - we know that 'green' travel is the way of the future.

Private Expeditions

Private Expeditions are all about the experience, so we look to design individual holidays according to your brief. We work exclusively with a network of industry leaders, who allow us to consider areas and experiences that most travel companies do not give a second thought. With any bespoke holiday, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, creativity and due diligence.

Whether travelling to a region that very few others have experienced, or visiting a country that is well-established on the tourist trail, we will ensure your journey is different.

From tribal immersion in Papa New Guinea, yacht expeditions in the Arctic Circle or fishing safaris in Africa - every request is treated on an individual basis, to ensure personal preferences are part of each day.

Rocksure Snow

If like us you are a lover of travel, but also an avid skier, we have the perfect combination for you. Imagine a world where you can go and enjoy your passion of skiing but also the culture of the location - take Japan for example. The Southern Hemisphere is not only for exotic wildlife and beach holidays, so why not get your culture fix whilst donning your salopettes.

Whether you are looking for a week long family Easter break in the Alps or fancy chasing the best powder snow in Japan - we have the perfect snow break for you.

The Arts

Whether you're into jazz, drama, architecture, or simply appreciate a good painting - 'The Arts' can be defined as the imagination of living. Just as wine will be flowing through the Rocksure Club programme, so will the delicious sounds of classical music, opera and jazz.

For the more visual amongst you, you can feast your eyes on paintings, sculpture, installations and photographs at the latest fairs or even in the comfort of your own private villa or hotel - a form of architecture that is an influence (or sometimes the influencer) of culture.

All of these are what Life is made of - and with Life comes Circles of interest... 

Rocksure Kids

For some, the prospect of travelling with children can be a
daunting one as we know how important the little ones are when it comes to taking a break (and vice versa!). From babies, toddlers, tweens and teens - right through to the 'big kids' amongst you - our tailor-made approach means your holiday will be perfectly crafted to suit. Whether you’d like your holiday to include babysitting services, a kid's club or simply offer a family-friendly environment with easy access for buggies or in-house cots and bedding, we believe our junior guests are as important as their elders.

While for some a bucket and spade holiday in the Med is what you're after, we can offer families destinations as diverse as camping under the stars in the dunes of the Wahiba Sands desert in Oman, or a walking safari in malaria free South Africa. 

Health, Zen & Retreats

With life moving fast and constantly being switched 'on' - we know it's important to take time out every once in a while for a restorative and well deserved break.

Whether you just need a bit of help to discover the best wellness retreats, bootcamps, yoga pavillions, or want to find out what hotel uses what spa products - we can help.

Wellness retreats are also a great place to meet like-minded people and share insights and experiences - this creates a community or Circle in itself - and is one of our main programmes running across our exclusive Calendar of Events.

On the Water

We love creating opportunities for Members to get both on and in the water in the most spectacular and rewarding of places. Whether you are looking to learn a new sport, fancy scuba diving surrounded by stunning marine life, or simply go on a fully crewed yachting holiday – we will make it unforgettable.

How about learning to sail around the British Virgin Islands? Or learn to ‘shoot the curl’ at a surf school in Cornwall? Perhaps simply enjoying your very own private villa in Antigua and watching the kids learn to kite-surf is more for you?  Whatever floats your boat – we can organise it for you.

Rocksure Sporting Life

We know that Sporting Life can be more than just a hobby or interest - it's a way of life. The world is literally your playground - with so many activities on offer in so many destinations - whatever your interest we can use this to not only inspire your travel but also make it the sole focus.

From catching wild rainbow trout in Chile, playing tennis against a professional on Necker Island, horse-riding in Botswana, or golf at St Andrews - we can tailor your holiday accordingly.

Sporting Life also runs through our Calendar of Events programme, with a horse-riding trip to Botswana planned for 2020 - call us to find out more or book your place.

Adventure & Off the Beaten Track

If you are looking to explore new and exciting regions and allow yourself to step off the beaten path and embrace the unexpected - then adventure travel is for you. Adventure holidays are more than just some time away; they are a chance to get behind the scenes of the real world and experience places, people and things that are out of the ordinary.

An Off the Beaten Track itinerary offers authentic accommodation and local transportation, bringing you face to face with some of the world's most fascinating cultures, customs and awe-inspiring wildlife. For anyone hunting for a sense of achievement in the great outdoors - whether it be under or on the water, or scaling the heights of Kilimanjaro - we can not only create a bespoke luxury adventure holiday, but also connect you with like-minded adrenaline junkies.

Gastronomy

Gastronomy isn't just about fine-dining and Michelin-starred restaurants, it is the study of the relationship between food and culture so as a result travel and gastronomy are the perfect combination; it brings to mind the flavours of delicious world cuisine and the exquisite tastes of the foods used to create them.

There are many things that can be considered with Gastronomy - for example food markets, tasting sessions, cooking lessons, visits to farms or vineyards and the list goes on - our Destination Specialists not only know their properties and Destinations inside out, but can also advise on the ever so important 'foodie' scene that surrounds them.

Anniversaries & Celebrations

Everyone has 'Big Birthdays' ahead and most have wedding anniversaries and other important family occasions to mark as well. Those with the means often choose to celebrate these with a big party in their home country or a smaller, but more exotic, one abroad.

The Rocksure Club has experts in the planning and delivery of such events. We are not wedding organisers, but the same meticulous attention to detail is required in order to put on a flawless performance; also, without the centrepiece of a wedding, even greater creativity and flair is required of the planners to design and choreograph a dramatic and truly memorable occasion.

Rocksure Masters

The Rocksure Club is very fortunate to be able to offer Members a series of short stays in delicious corners of Europe, hosted by Anthony Bay as 'Guide, Philosopher and Friend'.  Anthony is extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history and culture of Europe and has been lauded by Conde Nast Traveller on several occasions as one of their International Specialists. 

A series of these Programmes are being planned, commencing Autumn 2020: An example is 'Glorious Provence', including visits to see the astonishing architectural glories of Nimes and Arles, but the wines of the Rhone Valley, the world famous gastronomy and the life of Vincent Van Gogh will be of almost equal importance.
