Sippin' Around the World: The Best Wine Getaways for Your Next Grown-Up Escape 🍷✈️
There’s something undeniably dreamy about sipping world-class wine straight from the source… surrounded by rolling vineyards,
delicious food,
and of course, a gorgeous hotel!
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a girls' weekend, or just want to escape somewhere with stunning views and a glass in hand, these wine regions deliver all the magic—and more.
Here are a few of my favorite wine getaways that are as much about the vibe as they are about the vino:

Why go: For iconic cabernets, Michelin-starred meals, and perfect pairings with spa days and hot air balloon rides.
Stay: Solage, The Four seasons Napa, Alila Napa, the estate at yountville… So many gems here for that perfect wine country luxury escape.
Don’t miss: A wine train ride, tastings at Quintessa and Ashes & Diamonds, and a stop at Oxbow Public Market.
2. Bordeaux, France – Regal & Refined 🇫🇷
Why go: This historic wine capital is where old-world charm meets cutting-edge wine science.
