Discover 5 cities to visit if you love wine!
Every wine lover has dreamed of a world tour of vineyards. Because we're so nice, we've listed 5 cities that are starting points for wine routes that will take you on a truly unique journey. To make sure you don't miss a thing, follow the guide!
Cape Town, a Mediterranean city in southern Africa:
Cape Town is a city in South Africa where winemaking is taught at the university. The region boasts numerous vineyards cultivating grape varieties of French origin. The starting (or ending) point of the wine route, Cape Town is a vibrant and creative city well worth exploring, whether you're a wine enthusiast or not.
Valparaiso, from the slopes to the colorful houses:
A "Paradise Valley" facing the ocean and its gigantic port, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Houses of all colors are built on the hillsides, while below, mostly corrugated iron houses are scattered: quite a nice place to visit!
Mendoza, at the foot of the Andes:
How many cities do you know that promise breathtaking views of the Andes Mountains when you wake up in the morning? A fun activity: rent a bike, spend a whole day riding through the vineyards, and stop at each winery to discover their Malbecs!
San Francisco, a little bit of Europe in the United States:
San Francisco, the most European of American cities, is just 45 minutes south of Napa Valley. If you're looking to explore the Californian vineyards, where Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme, this is the perfect starting point.
Bordeaux , between class and fine wines:
A wine capital that needs no introduction, everyone (or almost everyone) knows Bordeaux . Surrounded by vineyards and prestigious appellations, Bordeaux is the ideal destination for wine lovers! The event not to be missed is the Fête du Vin (Wine Festival), held every two years in June. Four days of tasting the best wines from the region and from across France on the quays – we can't wait for 2016!
