European Wine Regions

French Wine Regions

France is famous for its wine regions, with over 3,000 different wines across two million hectares of vineyards, wine lovers from around the world flock to France for its sheer abundance of vineyards and vintages. Each wine region offers a different grape variety, unique environmental conditions, and their own special wines.

Italian Wine Regions

Italy offers the perfect combination of food, wine and people that can’t be beat, and it’s a must for any lover of wine and culture. The country boasts thousands of vineyards found in many of its regions which produce hundreds of famous varieties of wine, from the bold reds in the hills of Tuscany to crisp sparkling wines in the northern lakes region, and one-of-a-kind varietals at rustic island wineries in Sicily.

Greek Wine Regions

Wine is closely related to Greek culture and religion with a much more diverse climate and terrain than most people realize. Vineyards grow on flat land, on terraced volcanic islands, and up mountain slopes, producing white (70% of total production), red, and sweet wine. With such a diverse climate, you can expect Greek wines to be quite varied as well. Out of the 700 wineries in Greece, only a few can produce enough to export, so many excellent wines come from small-producers and go undiscovered outside of Greece.

Cyprus Wine Regions

Cyprus may not be well known internationally when it comes to wine, but don’t let that fool you. The people of Cyprus have been making wine for nearly 4,000 years and legend has it that they were taught by none other than Dinoysus, the God of wine himself. Given that winemaking goes back for centuries here and rumors that Cypriots were among the first winemakers in the world, it can easily be said that they are pretty good at their craft. As of recent years, wines of Cyprus have been gaining increasing recognition from connoisseurs worldwine.

Portuguese Wine Regions

Portugal is well regarded worldwide for its wines! From the warm beaches of the Costa Verde inland to the Douro River Valley and historic Beira Alta, down through Lisbon and across the sea to Madeira Island - there is enough activity, history, and wine to keep all travelers delighted. With 13 total distinct wine districts crisscrossing the country, there is something here for everyone!

Experiences and Adventure

German Cuisine
Germany has a long culinary history reflecting its rural roots and geography. Mention traditional German food and most people tend to think of sausage, sauerkraut and beer, but Germany is much more than these three things. Over the years, German food has evolved as a national cuisine through centuries of social and political change. Each region has its specialty and distinct flavor. Eating in Germany, and discovering the culinary specialties and traditional foods with their diversity, consistency and excellent taste, is a big part of the fun in traveling to this country!

Romantic Road
Germany`s Romantic Road is a 261-mile scenic route through the forests and mountains of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Its northern endpoint is Würzburg, a wine-region city known for the Residenz, an 18th-century baroque palace with a Tiepolo fresco. Your journey will take you through unspoiled nature, picturesque towns with city walls, towers, and half-timbered houses, hidden monasteries, medieval castles, and romantic hotels.

Bavarian Alps
The Bavarian Alps extend west from Germany`s remote southeastern corner to the Allgau region near Lake Constance. This region boasts a stunningly beautiful natural divide along the Austrian border, along with picturesque alpine scenery with a quintessential German charm. Ranges further south may be higher, but these mountains spring up from the foothills so drastically that the impact is all the more dramatic.

Self Drive in Germany
Land of Fairy tales! Castles, deep dark forests, mythical rivers plus small picture-postcard, owns, pagan-inspired harvest festivals. Driving in Germany is the best way to see it all! German roads are well maintained, and many scenic routes lead you through wonderful German landscapes.
