Wine Culture As An Amazing Travel Experience

Wine culture offers a variety of increasingly attractive activities related to gastronomy and cultural tourism. They offer memorable experiences for travelers looking for a form of tourism based on the culture of wine. There are specialized travel agencies that organize tours around the most emblematic vineyards of several continents. If you love wine then we definitely recommend a tour through countries with wine-making tradition. Nowadays it’s possible to find wine easily at online stores such as Wine Outlet, but finding them while traveling is something special.

California

California is one of the most complete and most visited US states. It has beaches, mountains, lakes, ski slopes, deserts, spectacular national parks, modern cities, colonial towns and wine brought by Spanish missionaries in the eighteenth century. The valleys of Napa and Sonoma, north of San Francisco, are the most famous. The route, which brings together more than 190 wineries, is a journey to try wine, stop at restaurants, markets, small towns and prestigious wineries. About eight million people visit these vineyards each year to enjoy a good chardonnay or cabernet sauvignon as a travel experience.

Spain

In Spain, virtually all production areas have their tourist routes. Rioja Alavesa, for example, where family wineries and great avant-garde buildings are mixed, is a land very linked to the wine culture that still retains that charm of being raised among vineyards.

The awakening of South Africa

In the mid-seventeenth century began the growth of vineyards in South Africa by the Dutch introduced strains from Germany, France and Spain. Today, the South African wine wins international fame. The country has up to 18 tourist routes. A recommended route is to start from southwestern Cape Town in Constantia Valley, the cradle of wine. With many renowned wineries, the area has luxury hotels and restaurants, among which Groot Constantia, the oldest in the country dedicated to wine production. Stellenbosch is another popular destination. The place retains the typical Dutch architecture, with its white houses, and is considered the heart of South African wine production.

The highest in the world

Northwest of Patagonia, wine production in Argentina goes 2,000 kilometers along the Andes mountains, sometimes at record altitudes. In addition to good stock, provinces like Mendoza are great tourist attractions to discover.
