]]> When it comes to the ideal vacation, a good meal can make or break your entire experience. But balancing your meal with a nice glass of wine can be equally important. Wine and travel blogger Penny Sadler knows best. A student of the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (an internationally recognized certification), Sadler has traveled to some of the world’s most interesting wine regions and shares her experiences with her followers on her online blog, Adventures of a Carry-On.

“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or find it not,” Sadler quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson, explaining the origins of her blog’s name. Indeed, when it comes to traveling, Sadler admits to having a bad case of wanderlust.

Like most travel bloggers, Sadler caught the travel bug fairly on, though she admits she didn’t come from a family that encouraged traveling. “My family didn’t really travel, other than to move from California to Texas and back several times,” she explained in a piece published on Wander With Wonder.

She then added that she probably got hooked on travel in grade school geography class. “I recall reading about places like Pompeii and the Black Forest. An entire city covered by a lava flow sounded like the coolest thing ever to me. I’m pretty sure my wanderlust was born in the classroom.”

According to Sadler, blogging came quite naturally to her as she’s always kept a journal, but the best part of being a travel writer is connecting with other people. “The best part of being a travel writer is the people I meet,” she notes. “My biggest challenge is staying focused on the task at hand; I’m very curious and easily distracted by sparkly things.”

A professional makeup artist, Sadler supports her travels by writing part-time and continuing her career. In addition, she hosts wine tastings for both private and retail customers. Her blog includes first-hand accounts (anything from picking grapes in Barolo to exploring the Grand Cru vineyards of Alsace), alongside intimate details of tours, wineries, restaurants, and hotels.

]]> In addition to being one of Australia’s most beautiful cities, Adelaide is a safe haven for wine lovers visiting this country. It’s home to countless wineries and tasting experiences you can explore during your visit, and some of the best can be found in these three spots.

National Wine Centre

Not many cities can brag about having their own wine center, but that’s the case with Adelaide. The National Wine Centre of Australia is located in this city, and it’s the best place to explore the history of winemaking, learn more about this beloved beverage, and taste wines from all across Australia.

Adelaide Hills

If you want to explore some of Australia’s most beautiful vineyards in one place, the Adelaide Hills wine region is the place to be. Wirra Wirra Vineyards, Maxwell Wines, and Coriole Vineyards are some of the most popular spots with people who live and breathe wine visiting Adelaide.

d’Arenberg Cube

d’Arenberg is Australia’s leading wine company, so their vineyards definitely deserve a spot on your bucket list. While there, you should make sure to check out the d’Arenberg Cube – the unusual cube-shaped building that offers art installations, a restaurant, and a tasting room.

]]> Those who are familiar with the global wine scene will agree that the South American country of Chile is one of the most criminally underrated enological destinations on the planet. The delicious drinks made from grapes from vineyards located at the foot of the snowcapped Andes Mountains provide visitors with an attractive place to partake in wine tourism.

If you find yourself in Chile, here are three wineries that you must check out.

Emiliana Vineyard

This organic vineyard, located halfway between the capital of Santiago and the coastal city of Valparaiso, offers tours of its stunning grounds on which livestock are combined with the biodynamic agriculture that the winery promotes and practices.

Santa Cruz Vineyard

Located in remote central Chile, Santa Cruz is a great choice if you are looking for a rural getaway. This Colchagua Valley vineyard doesn’t only offer tours of its grounds, as it also includes an aerial tram lift so that visitors can see the vineyards from a new perspective.

Concha y Toro Vineyard

Travelers to the Chilean capital of Santiago should check out Concha y Toro, conveniently located only a short trip south from the big city on the banks of the Malpo River. This immaculately curated family-run estate is a place to get lost in the world of wine.

A beautiful morning to be tending to our trellises ☀ These vines of Cab Sauv were the first planted here at Hunter’s; and stand between the road and our beautiful cellar door. Unfortunately, some of the vines are suffering a little from GLRAV-3 (grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3), which can be seen in the second photo. Whilst not directly affecting the grapes at all, it does result in a reduction of chlorophyll in the leaves (resulting in a red-ish colour to the leaves). This hinders the photosynthesis of the vine, delaying crop ripening and anthocyanin synthesis. Anthocyanin synthesis reduction subsequently results in a reduction of colour potential. Having said that, as these vines are Cab Sauv, a varietal that Marlborough isn’t famed for (owing to it not really being hot enough), these vines will rarely be used to make wine. I’m sure we can all agree what a beautiful decoration they are though! 🍇🍇🍇

Pegasus Bay

A family-owned vineyard in the South Island Canterbury’s Waipara Valley, Pegasus Bay has been active for about 30 years, and now features a tasting room and an award-winning restaurant alongside a shop selling their products. They are particularly renowned for their Rieslings, Pinot Noirs, and Chardonnays.

]]> 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.

]]> Wine-growing regions are always nice to visit, but I think that there’s something about a wine valley that makes it even more special. Nestled between two high-altitude places, valleys usually contain rivers and often make for the perfect place to grow wine grapes.

Here are the four most spectacular vine valleys on Earth.

Ribeira Sacra: Spain

This wine valley, located in the Galicia region of Spain, consists of two steep banks on either side of the Sil River that are planted with both white and red grapes. It’s spectacularly beautiful and unforgettable.

Colchagua Valley: Chile

Chile is a country that produces a surprising amount of wine, and the Colchagua Valley is one of its top regions. Nestled between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, there are plenty of bodegas to visit in this beautiful region.

3º dia – Valle do Colchagua Pegamos a estrada sentido o valle do Colchagua, foram 2 horas desde Santiago. Nossa base foi a cidade de Santa Cruz, de lá vamos sair pra conhecer as vinícolas nos arredores. No primeiro dia de Colchagua conhecemos a vinícola Montes @vinosmontes , que já serviu pra nivelar alto as visitas. Uma bodega lindíssima, com vinhos de muita qualidade e um restaurante premiado liderado pelo chef Francis Mallmann, o Fuegos de Apalta 🔥 Imperdível! No sentido arquitetônico a vinícola é um espetáculo a parte, muito bem pensada, foi toda estruturada de acordo com o Feng Shui, desejo do dono que é muito ligado à espiritualidade das culturas. Outra peculiaridade é a sala de barricas, onde os vinhos repousam num tipo de anfiteatro ao som de cantos gregorianos. Simplesmente surreal. #tripdiaries #travel #traveller #trip #chile #colchaguavalley

Douro Valley: Portugal

The home of the grapes that grow up to produce Port wine, the Douro Valley region in the interior of Portugal is unrivaled in its beauty. The grapes are grown on the sides of the canyon that is formed by the Douro River, where visitors can go on a boat ride to see the vineyards from a different perspective.

Rhône Valley: France

The Rhône Valley in southern France is world-renowned for its wines. The region’s Mediterranean climate and ample water resources give life to delicious red, white, and rose wines.

]]> Wine-growing regions are always nice to visit, but I think that there’s something about a wine valley that makes it even more special. Nestled between two high-altitude places, valleys usually contain rivers and often make for the perfect place to grow wine grapes.

Here are the four most spectacular vine valleys on Earth.

Ribeira Sacra: Spain

This wine valley, located in the Galicia region of Spain, consists of two steep banks on either side of the Sil River that are planted with both white and red grapes. It’s spectacularly beautiful and unforgettable.

Colchagua Valley: Chile

Chile is a country that produces a surprising amount of wine, and the Colchagua Valley is one of its top regions. Nestled between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, there are plenty of bodegas to visit in this beautiful region.

3º dia – Valle do Colchagua Pegamos a estrada sentido o valle do Colchagua, foram 2 horas desde Santiago. Nossa base foi a cidade de Santa Cruz, de lá vamos sair pra conhecer as vinícolas nos arredores. No primeiro dia de Colchagua conhecemos a vinícola Montes @vinosmontes , que já serviu pra nivelar alto as visitas. Uma bodega lindíssima, com vinhos de muita qualidade e um restaurante premiado liderado pelo chef Francis Mallmann, o Fuegos de Apalta 🔥 Imperdível! No sentido arquitetônico a vinícola é um espetáculo a parte, muito bem pensada, foi toda estruturada de acordo com o Feng Shui, desejo do dono que é muito ligado à espiritualidade das culturas. Outra peculiaridade é a sala de barricas, onde os vinhos repousam num tipo de anfiteatro ao som de cantos gregorianos. Simplesmente surreal. #tripdiaries #travel #traveller #trip #chile #colchaguavalley

Douro Valley: Portugal

The home of the grapes that grow up to produce Port wine, the Douro Valley region in the interior of Portugal is unrivaled in its beauty. The grapes are grown on the sides of the canyon that is formed by the Douro River, where visitors can go on a boat ride to see the vineyards from a different perspective.

Rhône Valley: France

The Rhône Valley in southern France is world-renowned for its wines. The region’s Mediterranean climate and ample water resources give life to delicious red, white, and rose wines.
