1. Hvar, Croatia
The Mediterranean in all its glory! Step to Croatia for some lush valleys and deep grapes. It may be close to our little isle but the wide, open space will make you feel miles away.
2. Mendoza, Argentina
Slightly further away (to say the least), Mendoza in Argentina possesses dramatic landscapes and stories told through the sip of a good vintage.
3. Alentejo, Portugal
Not far from Lisbon is the little-known area of Alentejo which boasts spectacular cliff-faces and vineyards as far as the eye can see. Feast on the views and the grapes for a memorable time.
4. Tuscany, Italy
Perhaps a little stereotypical, a honeymoon in Tuscany is what many of us dreamed of when we were kids. Make your childhood wishes a reality by stepping into the – more grown-up – environs of these world-class vinicultural producers.
5. Rutherford, California, US
Have you ever watched Sideways? While there was something decidedly anti-marriage about that one, don’t let that stop you taking the trip to Rutherford in California to indulge in the deep textures of Napa valleys’ bounty.
6. Barossa Valley, Australia
On the other side of the globe, Barossa Valley in Australia serves up bright open space on a plate, and terre noire textures in each glass. Make some space in your luggage though – you’re bound to want to take some back with you!
7. Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand
While many pubs in New Zealand close at 9pm (yes, you read right), you can still indulge in the wines Hawke’s Bay produces until the early hours. If it’s lush landscapes and lots of quality you’re after, then this is the place for you both!
