Chosen by Wine Enthusiast’s global editors each year, the list includes not only tips on what to taste and where to go in terms of wine, but also an insider’s guide on top restaurants, hotels and cultural activities to experience in each region.
Wine Enthusiast’s 2019 Top 10 Wine Getaways include:

While locations like France’s Beaujolais and Chile’s Maipo Valley may be familiar destinations to wine lovers, the list offers plenty of surprises, like Tasmania, Australia and Bangkok, Thailand.
The discovery-driven aspect of the list is the result of thousands of miles in the air and on the ground with the magazine’s intrepid editorial team. Their goal? To search out the most exciting and comprehensive wine travel experience for savvy travelers.
“Our annual 10 Best Wine Getaways list is culled from the extensive travel our team undertakes each year…along with input from trusted wine and travel journalists around the globe,” explains Executive Editor Susan Kostrzewa. “We seek locales that offer world-class wines and wine-related experiences as well as unforgettable restaurants, hotels and cultural activities suited for the intrepid wine lover.
