Wine Tours & Tastings
Top-rated wine tours & tastings
From the vineyards of Tuscany and Bordeaux to the port lodges of Porto, the sweet cellars of Tokaj and the volcanic vines of Santorini and Etna, these are the great wine regions you can tour and taste — cellar visits, vineyard lunches and expert-led flights.
Planning a wine trip
A wine tour can be a half-day cellar visit from a city, a full day among the vineyards with lunch, or the centrepiece of a whole trip. Many pair naturally with the region’s food. Decide whether you want the classics (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Tuscany, Rioja), a fortified icon (port in Porto, sherry in Jerez, Madeira, Tokaji), or something distinctive (volcanic Etna and Santorini, orange wines of the Adriatic, English sparkling).
The regions, by country
Italy and France lead on breadth; Spain and Portugal add sherry, Rioja, port and the Douro; Central Europe brings Riesling, Grüner Veltliner and Tokaji; Greece and the Adriatic offer native grapes you won’t find elsewhere.

FAQ about Wine Tours & Tastings
Frequently asked questions
What is the best wine region to visit in Europe?
For first-timers, Tuscany, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rioja are the classics. For something distinctive, try port in the Douro, sherry in Jerez, volcanic Etna or Santorini, or sweet Tokaji in Hungary.
Do wine tours include transport and lunch?
Many full-day tours include hotel or city pickup and a vineyard lunch; city-based tastings and cellar visits usually don't. Check each experience — and never drive if you're tasting.
Can you visit wineries without a car?
Yes — guided tours with transport are the easiest way, and many regions are reachable by day trip from a nearby city. Each destination page shows the options.
