From holiday destinations to the dreaded festival packing list, you can be sure to settle in for the perfect reading to get you ready for a dreamy summer. We’re also going to be showing you where you can enjoy a glass with us at all the best locations this summer, and most importantly: how to get your hands on these festival tickets!

Come rain or shine, this playlist promises to deliver the tunes to get you in the mood for the best summer ever.
3. Destination: Freixenet
There’s nothing like a glass of ice cold fizz to awaken your holiday senses whilst sitting in an airport lounge. And who says you can’t wear sunglasses indoors? Channel your inner diva and get in the holiday mood with us. If you’re only just getting around to planning your summer holiday, here’s a list of our top holiday destinations:
1. Catalonia, Spain. Heritage is important to us, which is why we run public tours of our winery in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, the centre of cava production. And a short distance away from the beautiful, sunny, architectural city of Barcelona! From our world-famous black Cordon Negro to the beautiful and fruity Cordon Rosado, we’ll be there to welcome you and help you celebrate all life’s moments.
2. Valdobbiadene, Italy. Home to our beloved prosecco grapes which grow on the rolling hills from the town of Valdobbiadene. You could spend a couple of days driving along the “strada del vino”, indulging in wine tastings in village cantinas and staying in charming B&Bs run by winemakers. Bellissimo...
3. Brighton, UK. And sometimes, the most enjoyable experiences are closer to home. Enjoy a glass or two in the sparkling, sunshine-y seaside town of Brighton…a place where life is celebrated and only positivity pollutes the atmosphere.
4. Festival Packing #JustGotBetter
The dreaded bottomless backpack. Not quite as exquisite as a bottomless prosecco brunch. Full of needless clothing, snacks and tasteless alcohol…with so many possible things to pack, and with so much strain on your back, we want to make your life easier with our lighter packing. Check out our must-pack list:
• Your festival ticket (you won’t be getting in without it!)
