The Tuscan hills while they are still green
Terraced vineyards, budding, and a slow train
The coast path open, the crowds not yet arrived
Provence before the lavender and the crowds
White truffles, Barolo, and autumn fog
Painted-egg markets, then apricot blossom
Grapes still trodden by foot, in September
The oldest Christmas market in France, then the villages
Light shows, port lodges and a river tree
Thermal baths, cellar rows, and noble rot
The harvest, new oil, and empty hills
Châteaux without the coaches, and game on the menu
Thrones, patios and sherry, without the crush
Empty plains, walled hill towns, cheap good wine
Baroque wine towns, Tokaj cellars, the puszta
Chalk cellars, vineyard slopes and timbered Troyes
Renaissance art to cypress-lined wine roads
Graz's old town, Styrian vineyards and a volcano-rock castle
Tiled streets, port wine cellars, and a legendary bookshop
Barolo cellars, Alba truffles and Turin's cafes
Riesling vineyards, riverside castles and Roman Trier
Underground wine cellars and cave monasteries
Wine valleys, whale lagoons and desert to the Cortez coast
Roman cities and fortress towns of Languedoc
Vineyard terraces and lakeside towns around Lac Leman
Balaton's shores and Hungary's volcanic wine hills
Qvevri wine country and the Caucasus peaks
Rías, seafood and Albariño wine country
Hilltop truffle towns and the Roman arena at Pula
Castles, cathedrals, and Small Carpathian wine country
Grand cru châteaux, oyster bays, and Europe's tallest dune.
Guggenheim, pintxos bars and Rioja wine towns
Whitewashed pueblos, sherry bodegas and the Cadiz coast
Storybook villages and cellar-door tastings on the wine route
Empty calli, Roman opera, and then nothing
Qvevri wine, sulphur baths, techno until Sunday
Winelands, whale coasts and forest lagoons
Colonial core and vineyards beneath the Andes
Cathedrals, castles and wine from the Rhine to Alsace
Terraces, quintas and a train that follows the river
Pilsner roots to Moravian squares
Crater lakes, whales and volcanic wine islands
Wachau vineyards, Baroque abbeys, and Alpine lake villages
Cliffside monasteries, cave wineries and a highland lake
Vermouth from the barrel, warehouses until dawn
Colonial port, capital grills, and coastal wine
Renaissance châteaux along a slow river
Castle rock, cobbled closes and whisky bars
Desert dunes to Andean lakes and misty island churches
Tasting Burgundy's grand crus, hillside by hillside

Andean wine country and painted desert canyons
