Great Places to visit for Wine

I was recently asked to make a blog post regarding the best wine places in the world. For that post, I am collecting my research on this page. The blog post is planned to feature special places within the regions, while this page focuses only on the regions themselves.

This page will later be accompanied by pages with topics such as great wine bars, restaurants with great wine and and knowledgeable staff, smaller areas with tasty wine and beautiful landscape and more.

Tuscany, Italy

TuscanyTo me, going to Italy is like going to another era - there is so much history, culture and beautiful nature in almost any place you visit that you never want to leave. Driving through Tuscany and staying at the agriturismo's with local wine tasting is one of the experiences I would include in almost any travel list with great places to visit, giving it a well deserved first spot in this list.

Bordeaux, France

BordeauxThis is of course a predictable choice, but we all know no serious wine travel list would be complete without mentioning Bordeaux. With such wineries as Mouton-Rothschild and Chateaux Margau and many more chateaux spread over this most famous wine region, none should leave without a lifted spirit. The locals of the area are rightly proud of their wine production and of their region, and aren't difficult to ask for tips on where to go and which vineyards to visit and wines to try.

California, USA

Napa Valley, CaliforniaCalifornia is large region, so this part might be split up to mention for example Northern California or for example Napa Valley - either way, there is no question that California has a great selection of destinations to visit, with or without wine. I would recommend visiting San Fransisco and/or Los Angeles if you go to California, as well as Napa Valley and Sonoma County for some excellent wineries and wine tasting.

South Australia

South AustraliaAustralia is a country of great spaces, and driving around in wine country down under will most probably show you a few things you never experienced before.
