Celebrate this year’s grape harvest by going straight to the source at one of these stunning wineries with rooms — all just a couple of hours flight or drive away from London

This autumn, forget the mushroom foraging and DIY pumpkin picking — the only harvest we’re interested in is the bacchanalian sort. It’s the season of wine, and nothing beats travelling to the origin to sip plummy Cabernet Sauvignon in Bordeaux, or zingy Riesling in Austria, and staying at a vineyard hotel.

You’ll tour the cellars, meet the winemakers and cheers with house-made bottlings to your heart’s content — then you can retreat to a chic, comfy room to sleep it all off.

All the vinous stays below are weekending-distance from London. Though after sinking a few glasses, you may want to linger longer.
