Wine Lovers Travel, Inc.

Bonjour Reader! Coming to you from France, fresh off an incredible 8-day trip aboard the Emerald Sakara through Italy, France, and Spain. One of the highlights was docking in Genoa, home to the world’s best pesto (yes, I confirmed it firsthand!) and sipping wine on deck as the sun dipped below the Ligurian coast. Now, I’m in the Loire Valley, tasting its elegant whites and wandering the storybook gardens of Château de Villandry, where every corner feels like stepping into a painting. Travel...

Hello Reader! As the season shifts and Yom Kippur begins tonight, I find myself reflecting on the journeys behind us and the adventures ahead.

Travel always feels more meaningful this time of year. It reminds me that every destination offers new perspectives,...

That’s what we do best: create moments that linger long after the suitcases are unpacked. This issue is brimming with experiences you’ll be talking about for years, like sailing straight into the path of a total solar eclipse, sipping Shiraz in Australia with The Wine Guy, exploring Croatia & Bosnia alongside a celebrated winemaker, and an extraordinary trip to Bordeaux...

Hello Reader! Some say there’s a time and place for everything, especially when it comes to what’s in your glass. So if you had to swap out your go-to glass of wine for a cold beer… what would it be? A crisp lager along the Belgian coast? A hoppy pilsner in the Czech countryside? A smoky rauchbier in a Bavarian beer hall? We’re celebrating International Beer Day with this very debate. Because while wine will always be our first love, we’ll admit: there’s a certain charm to beer in the right...
