The specialist tour operator, Best of Morocco, can arrange visits to the vineyards to observe production and to sample the wines, using the nearby city of Fes as a base.

A four-night stay in Fes, where the Medina (old city) has barely altered in 200 years, costs from £800 pp staying at Dar Anebar, a sumptuous riad with a rooftop terrace and large suites. (It is not unusual here to find the owner, Ahmed, in a niche, teaching a guest to play the lute, or inviting guests into the kitchen to either join in or watch the preparation of the meals. He has even been known to take a mule up to the nearby city gates to greet newly arriving guests and to carry their bags.) The cost includes return flights from London, accommodation with breakfast, and private transfers. Vineyard visits cost extra.

The secluded islands of Greece, Cyprus and the coastline of Turkey are popular, but couples are increasingly looking to go further, to places such as Cuba or Malaysia for a more exotic setting.

Just imagine taking your vows on the sun-drenched shore of a tropical paradise island when all you can hear is the gentle lapping of the waves – that’s the magic and romance of Malaysia. Contact Malaysia Experience and a personal advisor will be happy to make all the arrangements for a very special day.

Or why not head to Cuba for a wedding set in the colonial buildings of Havana – perfect for a nostalgic white wedding – or get married to the sounds of live Cuban music on beautiful sandy beach.  There are plenty of options in Cuba, and with the injection of a bit of Cuban personality, all are guaranteed to be very memorable indeed.  Contact Captivating Cuba for more information.
