There’s no better way to get a taste for a region than by sampling the local wine.\u00a0 Unfortunately, if you’re both a wine-lover and a travel junkie, you soon realize that there’s only a few countries to consider when it comes to quality vino.\u00a0 Certain countries have dominated wine making for centuries.\u00a0 And, only recently has the old guard been challenged by the United States, Chile, Australia, and others.\u00a0 Some of the wine from outside of Europe tastes delicious and refreshingly novel!\u00a0 Then again, others might cause you to buy a one-way ticket to Bordeaux<\/a>.\u00a0 So, where can one enjoy a perfect tasting?\u00a0 Well, check out our Top 5 Best Places for Wine Tasting In The World:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grab a hunk of Roquefort and a pair of wine glasses because we\u2019re headed to France! \u00a0Regardless of whether you consider yourself a wine connoisseur, you probably already know that France represents one of the best places for wine tasting on Earth!\u00a0 France alone controls 360 AOCs (Appellation d\u2019origine contr\u00f4l\u00e9e), which makes sense because the French coined this classification in the first place!\u00a0 Why not take a Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape and Domaines wine tasting trip<\/a> in the famous Rh\u00f4ne Valley?\u00a0 Relax near a French vineyard as trusted wine experts teach you about the history of French wine, grape varieties found in the region, and the process of vinification.\u00a0 All while you enjoy pour after pour of elegant, French wine.<\/p>\n

Tuscany, Italy<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

\"top-best<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although the French certainly possess sophisticated knowledge about wine and viticulture, Italian wine making predates the French and is believed to be one of the oldest centers of wine production in the world!\u00a0 Plus, the various Italian regions produce significantly different wine styles, all of which are rich in both taste and texture. \u00a0Italians certainly do love their wine.\u00a0 And, the country consistently ranks in the top ten on any world wine consumption list you might read.\u00a0 Viticulture is practiced almost everywhere in Italy, which totals well over one million acres of vineyards!\u00a0 That alone should cause you to raise your glass of Italian vino!\u00a0 But, if you are looking for something a little less obvious than France and Italy, take a look at The World’s 7 Best Wine Regions To Fall Under The Radar<\/a>!<\/p>\n
