Book flight + hotelFor a unique experience, travel to Portugal. East of the city of Porto lies the Douro Valley, where some of the country’s best wines are made.

For a wine lover this is a dream come true. In the morning, you awake to stunning views of the hills lined with all kinds of grape varieties. Getting curious about this lovely region?
Craving a glass of elegant bubbly? Book a flight to Paris and rent a car for a road trip through the Champagne region. Here, you can visit the charming towns of Reims and Épernay, hike in the beautiful hilly landscapes and bask in the last rays of sun as it sets over the vineyards. Tip: make sure to stop and sample champagne in one of the many Champagne houses. Bordeaux is another well-known wine-growing region, where you can visit the actual chateaus where the wine is made, such as Chateau Pape Clément. Wander through small picturesque villages where it feels like you are stepping back in time. Take a break with an exquisite glass of Champagne at a charming restaurant or café patio. Santé!
Although at most vineyards you can simply walk in and take part in a tasting, some require a reservation. Because winemakers are hard at work during the day and tend to disappear among the vines, it’s a good idea to book your tour in advance. Reserve a time to visit the Champagne houses or sign up for a wine tasting online.
