And its tourism is getting ever better, with producers offering everything from ballooning to yoga and cookery classes, in addition to wine tasting and food pairing. Spain certainly has some very fine hotels in wine regions, as well as fascinating and original boutique offerings where visitors are welcomed warmly. But – and there is inevitably a ‘but’ coming – wineries with hotels are really hard to find! In the list below there’s nowhere in Txakolí country,
Michael Bickford made it third-time lucky on the Queen’s Ground at Guards Polo Club. His La Indiana team fought back from a 6-4 deficit at half-time to win the Cartier Queen’s Cup 9-7.

We met Garrie Renucci on a windy and cloudy Sunday at Ham Polo Club, where he is a proud member. He just finished playing with his own team, Vendetta, and won the Petersham Bowl Cup. GDP: Hi Garrie, let’s start from the beginning: what brought you to play polo?
