10 Beautiful Travel Destinations For Wine Lovers10 Beautiful Travel Destinations For Wine Lovers

Dotted with castles, cathedrals and quaint wine towns producing a variety of full-bodied reds, La Rioja is every vino lover’s paradise. Ancient Romans introduced wine to the Spanish region. The tradition of winemaking has been intrinsically woven into the cultural fabric of La Rioja ever since. You can sip exquisite wines at traditional vineyards like Bodegas Muga and Bodegas López de Heredia or visit more Avante Garde ones like Bodegas Marques de Riscal and Bodega Ysios. Also, it would be remiss to not visit Vivanco Museum of Wine Culture in Briones, South of Haro. The renowned museum covers everything from the history of making and serving wine to flavor profiling. Best time to visit: Fall harvest season in late September. Or, you could visit in late June to experience the wine-splashing madness of the Batalla del Vino during the Haro Wine festival.

Now pack your bags, it’s time to sample some vintages!
