Only a dozen exist in the entire world. 

Founded in 1992 by Miguel Torres and Robert Drouhin to promote the exchange of ideas, its members include Domaine Clarence Dillon (Château Haut-Brion), Famille Perrin (Chateau de Beaucastel) and Alsace’s Famille Hugel, as well as Sassicaia makers Tenuta San Guido, the Douro’s Symington family, Riesling specialists Egon Müller and Tuscany’s 26^th-generation winemakers Marchesi Antinori.

Earlier this week, all 12 descended on the Paris’s Grand Palais for the launch of the PFV Generations Case, an ultra-limited-edition case of 12 wines – one from each family. Treats in the coffret include a 2016 Chateau Mouton Rothschild, a 2004 Vega Sicilia Unico, and a Champagne Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2002 (which the house’s 6^th-generation ambassador Bastien Collard de Billy was pouring on the night, and I can report tasted absolutely stellar). To sweeten the deal, each case also includes a VIP visit to every estate, some of which aren’t open to the public. The case is priced at €32,000 and only a dozen have been created.

Considering the calibre of the wines – and many of the guests – that night, the atmosphere was remarkably convivial. Everyone got stuck into pouring their wines and several also had their (grown-up) children in tow.

“There is a camaraderie between us that is precious and unique. It’s a great forum for discussing our concerns,” said Drouhin’s winemaker Véronique Boss-Drouhin as she poured a magnum of Joseph Drouhin Corton-Charlemagne 2011. “In the past the hot topic was transmission [of the business down the generations]; right now, it’s climate change. Next, we’ll be asking: how do we bring AI into it?”

“We’re all incredible friends,” agreed Alessia Antinori, who succeeds Clarence Dillon’s Prince Robert of Luxembourg as PFV president in July. “We share common values and we’re also really interested in getting the next generation involved.” It was great to see so many women in top roles – something, Antinori acknowledged, that was much less common in traditional family businesses just a few decades ago.

The incoming generation are also more inquisitive about wines and wine regions outside their immediate vicinity, perhaps more so than they were before, said Jean-Frédéric Hugel. “Visiting all the different PFV members, in their different wine regions, is fantastic boot camp for future wine owners.”

In a bid to celebrate family-owned business, PFV also sponsors a bi-annual prize recognizing inter-generational artisans. The new Generations Case features a habillage (or outer wrapping) made by 2023’s winner Brun de Vian-Tiran, an 8^th-generation French fine-wool manufacturer so dedicated to its craft it even has its own herd of 25,000 Arles Merino Antique sheep. 

At the launch I also spoke to Takuya Tsutsui, who was representing this year’s winner Tsutsumi Asakichi Urushi, a lacquer-maker from Japan, that fuses traditional techniques with innovations including a UV-resistant lacquer recipe. Clad in a spiffy checked blazer, bowtie, and ponytail, Tsutsui showed me a skateboard he had embellished with red lacquer and delicate gold paint work. If that isn’t craft redefined for the next generation, I don’t know what is.

An expert explains how tapping is reshaping mindsets at the highest level. 

In a world that demands constant decisiveness, public composure, and rapid-fire problem-solving, performance is no longer measured solely by output, but by how effectively someone can manage their internal state when the stakes are highest.

One of the more unexpected tools now circulating in these high-pressure circles is tapping – a technique involving rhythmic stimulation of specific points on the body, paired with focused language, to influence mental and emotional states. Advocates claim it can restore clarity and control in minutes, whilst sceptics are sure to brand the technique as ‘woo-woo’. The truth, as ever, sits somewhere between the two.

Few people understand that nuance better than Poppy Delbridge, founder of Rapid Tapping. A former executive herself, Delbridge began refining the method after noticing a recurring pattern among clients in demanding roles: capability was rarely the issue, but overloaded nervous systems were.

“Modern performance isn’t just about strategy or intelligence,” Delbridge explains. “It’s about your state of being before, during, and after high-pressure moments. When stress levels are elevated, decision-making narrows, creativity drops, and emotional reactivity increases.”

Rapid Tapping, she says, works by sending calming signals to the brain through the body. By tapping on specific points on the face and upper body – areas linked to the nervous system ­the brain begins to move out of fight-or-flight and back into a state of safety.

While Rapid Tapping has found particular favor among executives, creatives, and public figures – and was recently nominated for a Prix Galien Award, often likened to a Nobel Prize for life-science innovation – the technique itself is not new. It is a descendant of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), which has been examined in clinical settings since the late 1990s.

In a trial published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, participants using EFT showed a statistically significant reduction in cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, compared with those receiving talking therapy or no intervention. Additional studies have reported improvements across psychological and physical markers following structured EFT programs, suggesting measurable effects on the stress response.

Delbridge is open about her own early doubts when she first encountered tapping in 2010, but insists the mechanism aligns with what we now understand about stress regulation.

“When we tap on specific points on the face and upper body, we’re stimulating areas linked to the nervous system, particularly those responsible for stress responses,” she says. “When you combine that with focused language, visualization, and intention, the brain begins to move back into a state of system safety. From there, clarity, creativity, and emotional regulation return very quickly.”

Speed is part of the appeal. Delbridge contrasts Rapid Tapping with traditional EFT – which often involves longer scripts or therapeutic framing – describing her version as a lifestyle tool: short, repeatable, and adaptable to modern professional life. Data from the Rapid Tapping app suggests that 96 percent of users report an improvement in mood within minutes, a metric that helps explain its popularity among executives operating at pace.

For newcomers, Delbridge recommends starting with something tangible – stress, pressure or mental overload – and paying attention to what changes.

“You don’t need to believe in it,” she says. “Tap for two or three minutes while acknowledging what you’re feeling, then check in again. The changes are often subtle but immediate: a drop in tension, slower breathing, clearer thinking.”

In a culture where elite performers meticulously optimize sleep, diet, movement, and focus, stepping aside for a few minutes of body-based regulation no longer feels particularly radical. Framed as a performance ritual rather than therapy, tapping offers a private, efficient way to reset, with no equipment required. “It’s not about fixing anything,” Delbridge says. “It’s about recalibrating your internal state so you can meet life from a place of clarity and steadiness.”

So, can tapping really help you tap into success? Maybe. Or maybe it simply reflects what many high performers have long understood instinctively: that success isn’t just about strategy, it’s about the state you bring to it. And if a few minutes of rhythmic tapping helps create that state, it may be worth keeping an open mind.

As lifespan increases, neurolongevity is emerging as the critical pillar of wellness. 

Advances in science and tech have propelled brain health from an abstract ideal to an actionable pursuit. And as longevity narratives shift from extending years to elevating them, better brain health – regardless of age – has emerged as a new non-negotiable.   

“People are increasingly concerned about focus, memory, mental stamina, and feeling cognitively flat in everyday life, not just long-term dementia risk,” preventive health visionary Dr Tamsin Lewis tells Elite Traveler. Overstimulated but under-recovered, many of her patients at Reborne Longevity are now intent on using their brains in more meaningful ways. But how to train your brain? Her particular remedy involves a progressive protocol.

Fundamentally, the doctor prioritizes good sleep, movement, stress management, blood sugar stability, learning and problem-solving. “Use your brain deliberately: read, write, develop new skills, have challenging conversations, and reduce constant task-switching and scrolling,” she says. Then, if resources allow, the doctor layers in supportive tools, “such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, red light therapy, neuromodulation, and neurofeedback.»

While neurofeedback helps the brain self-regulate its activity, neuromodulation encompasses a growing variety of methods that change how areas in the brain work. Just as collagen-courting biostimulators, like Sculptra and polynucleotides, are taking over the aesthetics sphere, neuromodulation treatments like ExoMind and Nurosym are making waves in cognitive health. With a holistic approach to longevity, Dr Preema Vig – one of London’s popular cosmetic doctors – reports a shift in her clinical demand towards treatments that support the mind as well as the body. 

“ExoMind works by gently stimulating areas of the brain that play a key role in mood, focus, and cognitive performance,” she says of her preferred neuromodulation therapy. “By doing so, it can help improve mental clarity, attention, and overall brain function without the need for medications or invasive procedures.” Unlike traditional brain training devices (which can be painful), the innovation in ExoMind allows for a course of six “comfortable and quiet” treatments with no downtime, Dr Vig explains. “This can contribute not just to improved focus, but also to better emotional resilience, reduced stress, and an overall sense of mental wellness.” The treatment usually costs between $3,000 and $4,800 per course, depending on the clinic.

If your idea of a mental boost is less clinical, look to ‘neuro-tourism’, set to take flight in 2026. ‘The Brain Docs’ – neurologists Dr Ayedha and Dr Dean Sherzai – are hosting their second Neuro World Retreat in San Diego this September, “a transformative five-day immersion in brain health, connection, and renewal,» while luxury longevity programs addressing brain health are scheduled at numerous five-star hotels. That of Crete’s Minos Palace Resort features treatments combining cutting-edge cognitive movement to enhance neuroplasticity and mental agility, oxygen modulation to build resilience, and vibroacoustic therapy for mental calm.

Naturally, brain tuning should begin at home, and on a simpler level Dr Lewis points to food-led nutritional strategies including adaptogenic mushrooms and deliberate use of nootropics such as polyphenol-rich teas, cacao, and coffee. Supplementation can be impactful – though it “should support an active, well-regulated brain, not replace the basics,” she caveats. “Vitamin D is commonly low and worth checking,” she continues, while “omega-3s, magnesium, choline, and creatine are useful for many people.»

Inevitably, brands have spotted opportunities for demand creation – selling ‘solutions’ to problems we didn’t know we had, so beware of those making ‘brain detox’ claims. “Trendy in wellness circles, some promise to clear mental fog or ‘reset’ the way you think,” explains Dr Vig. Though appealing, “the brain doesn’t accumulate toxins in the same way your liver or kidneys do, so there isn’t a physiological process we can ‘detox’ in the literal sense.»

That said, in exploratory areas “therapies such as apheresis [the process of separating blood into its individual elements in order to collect or remove the required element] are being investigated for reducing circulating heavy metals and microplastics,” Dr Lewis reveals – “but this is expensive, invasive, and the evidence is still evolving.” What actually supports brain ‘clearance’ and recovery “is deep, high-quality sleep, regular exercise, heat exposure from practices like sauna, and mental engagement,” she adds. “These are linked to factors that help the brain repair and adapt.”

While there’s little we can do about today’s relentless mental load, Dr Lewis feels that the future of brain health should focus on supporting its ability to regulate stress, stay adaptable, and recover well. Think bioharmony over biohacking, she suggests. Most important to remember? Brain health is “a long-term practice, not a short-term optimization project.” Take the brain breaks, but play the long game, too.
