Over the past few years, I’ve tried to educate myself on one of my great loves… WINE! While I do not consider myself an expert, I really enjoy learning about the growing, packaging, and drinking process. One way to do this is by booking a tasting, they can be a fun and surprisingly affordable activity when traveling. In the past year, I managed to fit in quite a few and I’ve listed my top picks below.
