May: Glamour and excitement, style and sophistication, yachts, fine dining and Formula 1 Racing at the Monaco Grand Prix.

August: Imagine driving through the breathtaking Tuscan countryside in a Ferrari… what an experience!

September: Hit the French Riviera for ‘Les Voiles de St Tropez‘ – the most beautiful and extraordinary yachts battling for The Rolex Trophy. Or kick back in unspoilt Galway for delectable treats at the Oyster Festival.

October: Wind down in style truffle hunting in Northern Italy.

November: Christmas shopping in probably the most exciting city on the planet – New York. Or how about a sparkling weekend in the Champagne region of France?
