Plan a Wine Vacation!

Find out about Paso Robles wineries and great wine coming out of Lodi – even southern California. The state of California is famous for its wines, and there are many regions to visit.

While in South America every wine lover should try to make time for a visit to Chile. Red wines produced in and around Santiago are distinct and wonderful. The wine industry in modern day Chile is a tale of two success stories – one at the upper end of the market and one at the lower end. In the last few decades Chile has mastered the production of affordable bulk wines, sold around the globe. At the same time, renewed efforts focusing on quality have produced stellar results that keep Chile very competitive in the super-premium wine category. Chile is one of the top ten wine producing nations in the world today.

 If your South America trip includes a stop in Uruguay, then be sure to take a day or two to taste Uruguayan wines!

Australian wines are popular far and wide. The popularity of wines from Australian wineries cannot be understated. Learn about the Barossa Valley, Margaret River, Hunter Valley, Clare Valley, and all the other wine growing regions in the country. Find out what each area offers in the way of wine and which wineries to visit on your trip.

New Zealand is right next door to Australia, and this country’s wines, especially sauvignon Blancs, are excellent. Find out more about Marlborough wines and Hawke’s Bay wineries, as well as other New Zealand regions. Make a wine tour in New Zealand an activity during your vacation — you won’t regret it.

Few people know that South Africa has a well developed wine industry along the Cape. Any trip to South Africa should include a couple of days, or more, in Stellenbosch where trying the pinotage must be a priority. Franschhoek is another wonderful area with many wineries to visit

The ideal time of year to take a German wine vacation is in the height of summer. The long days and good weather make for touring the countryside a delightful experience. Winding mountain roads, super highways or tiny country lanes are all accessible by vehicle or public transport. Castles, cathedrals and ruins beg to be explored. Flowers beckon from every windowsill and wooded hillsides are green and lush.

For wine lovers, perhaps the best part of a German summer vacation is the festival season. Literally every city, town, village, burg or hamlet throws open their doors and invites the world to a party. Festivals showcase local wines, beers, foods and music. What better way to examine the German winemaker’s art than by tasting multiple offerings while rubbing elbows with the locals?
