Are you a wine lover that’s tired of hearing about well-known regions such as Bordeaux and Tuscany?
If so, you might be ready to start branching out and looking for more undiscovered wine regions to visit. Fortunately, there are plenty of places that host spectacular vineyards that are still largely untouched by most tourists.
Here are our recommendations for some top wine regions that are worth a trip.
Ribeira Sacra: Galicia, Spain
Located in northwestern Spain is one of the most beautiful and unique wine regions in the world. Here, complex red wines are produced using the native Mencia grape which is grown and harvested by hand in the canyons created by the Sil River.
Mendoza Province: Argentina
Argentina is an underrated wine destination, and the Mendoza province is the heart of it all. The stunning backdrop of the Andes provides the setting for vineyards that produce excellent red wines such as Malbec.
Virginia: United States
Believe it or not, there’s good wine from the US that doesn’t come from California. Throughout the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, there are picturesque vineyards that make a variety of red and white wines that are worth your attention.
Marlborough: South Island, New Zealand
New Zealand is a stunning destination for the views alone, but when you travel to Marlborough, you’ll feel like you’ve landed in paradise. The white wines produced here are delicious, and the wild landscape is truly one-of-a-kind.
