Wine Tourism Day 2014 – How Will You Celebrate?

03 Nov, 2014

The second annual Wine Tourism Day will be celebrated on Saturday 8th November, 2014. During the day, wineries, hotels, restaurants and other wine tourism businesses offer special events to the public to celebrate the importance (and fun) of wine tourism.

With the intention of promoting travelling to wine regions as a holiday and highlighting the economic impact of wine tourism, Wine Tourism Day touches upon subjects which are close to our hearts too.

Boost the business and accessibility to wineries across the world is one things we strive for – in doing so we’re able to introduce wine lovers to amazing, boutique wineries to help them learn more about the wine industry and winemaking all whilst having fun.  

Winegrowing and winemaking has been happening for thousands of years and the beauty of wine is that it can take you all over the world. As people become more interested in the tastes and flavours as well as the complementary foods that pair perfectly we aim to help you meet the locals who make it possible.

So in celebration of Wine Tourism Day 2014, here are our favourite North American, South America and European wine and food tours:
