Plonger au coeur de la French Riviera avec XXX rosé
But trying to think outside the box and in more of a sales mode (the following text talks about kicking off the summer season with rosé and how it evokes thoughts of sun in the south of France...) Thus far I've come up with:
Get a taste of life on the French Riviera with XXX rosé
or
Immerse yourself in life on the French Riviera with XXX rosé
What do you all think - any better suggestions?
Many thanks in advance !

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

You're very welcome! Glad it worked out for your headline. You've just gotta love KudoZ sometimes for helping you think outside the box. Cheers :)
| Thanks so much for this perfect idea! Works great as a headline for the press release! Cheers :) |

AllegroTrans
: Yes, a good link between the 2 concepts of the sentence and much better than "plunging"

Lara Barnett
: This sounds nice and conveys the same idea, but its an over-translation IMO.//"Savour the essence of" is not connected to the idea of water.

Genuinely experience the French Riviera with XXX....
. A 1.5-hour trip from Newcastle, the tracks and trails offer you the chance to genuinely experience the true beauty of the Hunter Valley.
Look for 10, 20, 30 Year Olds, and Grand styles to genuinely experience such treasures, and like those great muscats and topaques, select the very best chocolates to uncover the subtle nuances single origin variations can offer the inquisitive palate.

XXX rosé immediately transports you to the heart of the French Riviera
| Thanks very much for the idea. Although I went with another suggestion for the headline, I did use your idea of "transporting" for another area of the text - it worked much better than what I had previously come up with. Many thanks! |
