You love wine, and know it goes with everything. I often dream of owning a vineyard in Italy. Waking in the morning and seeing rolling hills outside my doorstep. I grab my basket, take a stroll through the vineyard while tasting the grapes that will soon become my masterpiece. I then make my way over to my garden picking the fresh tomatoes, basil, and parsley for the homemade sauce I’ll be serving that night. I set the table for an intimate dinner with my family and closest friends, as they sit, I pass the fresh hot bread that just came out of the oven. We raise our glasses and cheer, “Cin Cin!”
Well I may not be in Italy and I may not own a vineyard but the Wine Enthusiast Magazine puts me real close and keeps me up to date on one of my favorite hobbies….wine!
Wine Enthusiast Magazine released their second annual travel issue, naming the Best 10 Wine Destinations of 2013. Each year, their editors travel the world to experience the best in wine, food and cultural adventure, and discover the most exciting places you must visit. From classic regions to lesser-known corners, this year’s list represents just that—the best in overall cultural experience, timeliness, travel infrastructure and, of course, wine quality.
Grab a glass of wine and come with me to dream our way around the world!
“A glass of wine has the transcendent ability to transport your palate to a new location. For wine lovers, there is no better way to cement that connection than to explore the world around those vineyards,” stated Publisher and Editor Adam Strum. “We are thrilled to use our expertise to name these incredible destinations as our selection of the ten best locations to visit to further discover one’s passion for wine through travel.”
As the wine market grows more global, so should the wine traveler’s itinerary. That’s why Wine Enthusiast’s 10 Best Wine Travel Destinations includes a range of regions, with profiles featuring where to dine, where to stay, budget tips and prominent wines, plus local-in-the-know suggestions and the best time to visit.
