Holiday In The Tropics

“It has become a wonderful tradition that I take my sons on a combined sun-warming training camp and champagne hiking trip arranged by the masterful tour operator Travel Beyond with the father on the sports holiday. That may sound a bit twisted, but in my own case it’s exactly right and when it comes to the sons, it’s mostly about training camp and swimming holiday with a bit of champagne training assisting his dear father.”

The Champagne Club team took a two hour drive south of Stockholm to the old mill community of the same name to visit Rejmyre Glass Company. More about this premium design collaboration later this spring.
