Wine is a delicacy that has been enjoyed by the masses for ages. It’s used in everything from cooking, to religious services, to dressing wounds, to simply enjoying it for the delicious and relaxing beverage that it is.
When many people travel, the focus of their trip is often wine. That’s how big of a deal it is. While some people have much more refined taste in wine, it is a libation that can be enjoyed by anyone, granted they are of age, or in a culture that knows how to enjoy it without abusing it.
In case you’re wondering, here are some of places in the world to enjoy wine:
The California Coast
California seems to be good for most anything, doesn’t it? If you don’t have to travel far to enjoy a glass of the best wine while relaxing ocean side, why would you? California is home to the famous wine country in the northern region of the state. You could visit wine country itself and see why it is famous. You could horseback ride through the vineyards and taste wine straight from the barrel.
If this sounds nice, but not ideal, you could also just sit in your beautiful oceanside accommodation and have the wine brought to you. In any case, California is home to some of the world’s best wine. If you’re a connoisseur of wine, you’ll definitely want Sonoma to be on your list.
Italy

When you visit wine country in Italy, you also get the finest food and a view that’s worth far more than the cost of your plane ticket. Start with Tuscany, make your way to Emilia-Romagna, and to cap off your experience, finish in Veneto. Each region has characteristics that make it’s wine stand out from other wines so do your best to enjoy each for what it’s worth.
Cape Town
Though there aren’t any three absolute destinations for enjoying choice wine in the world, Cape Town is definitely the place to choose to go. Cape Town is located in South Africa, and right outside the city is the Cape Winelands. The climate makes the soil and surroundings the perfect place to grow a wide variety of wines.
