Food & Wine Getaways: Six Wine Regions for Long Lunches and Slow Days
Vineyard views, unhurried tastings and meals worth the trip. Our free guide covers three celebrated West Coast valleys and three rising wine regions closer to home.
Wine country is made for this season of life: unhurried days, beautiful landscapes, memorable meals and conversations that last into the evening. VINCE Lifestyle: Food & Wine Getaways takes you to six regions where wine, food and scenery come together. Three are celebrated West Coast valleys; three are rising regions that may be within a drive of home.
Part one: West Coast Wine Country Napa Valley: guided estate tastings, the Wine Train and sunrise balloon flights. Sonoma: family-owned wineries, Sonoma Plaza and vineyard e-bike tours. Willamette Valley: Oregon Pinot Noir and farm-to-table dining.
Part two: Wine Country Closer to Home The Finger Lakes: crisp Rieslings, lake cruises and the waterfalls of Watkins Glen. Texas Hill Country: German heritage, Highway 290 wineries and spring wildflowers. Charlottesville: Monticello, the Monticello Wine Trail and Blue Ridge views.
What's inside the guide You'll learn how to taste wine country the smart way: letting someone else drive, reserving tastings, pacing your pours and shipping purchases home. Each region includes a weekend plan and a 40+ travel tip, and the guide ends with a Wine Country Checklist. Clickable buttons link to wine tours on Viator and hotels on Expedia.
