Which quote inspires your travel plans?

“Wine can be a better teacher than ink, and banter is often better than books” ― Stephen Fry, The Fry Chronicles.

 

“[I]t is the wine that leads me on, the wild wine that sets the wisest man to sing at the top of his lungs, laugh like a fool – it drives the man to dancing... it even tempts him to blurt out stories better never told.” ― Homer, The Odyssey.

 

“As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.”― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

 

“Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.”― Paulo Coelho, Brida.

Soon, I’ve been saving up for a few months and my nose is ready to take in rich bouquets.

 

10 / 10

You will love the world famous wine region… Bordeaux, France!

You’re a staunch traditionalist with a curious mind and a taste for authentic luxury. You’ll happily follow vintners through muddy vineyard rows in rubber boots if it means tasting grapes from old growth vines, the source of your favorite barrel.

You love nothing more than exploring by day and savoring perfectly wine paired cuisine by night.

You build your vacations around tastings in small estate wineries and vast chateaus. Some of your best memories come from chatting up the locals who love a horticultural experience as much as you do.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”

- Saint Augustine

Ok, Let’s dream about your next wine tour…

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”

– C.S. Lewis

You will love the world famous wine region… Stellenbosch, South Africa!

You’re a person who recognizes innovation with a healthy respect for tradition. You relish a juicy adventure with other foodies...

You jump on any opportunity to nerd out over the history and details of the places you visit. A trip to South Africa’s Stellenbosch checks all the boxes: stunning geography, ancient architecture and mind blowing gastronomie. You can just taste the 6 million year old granite in those grapes.
