    Lavaux Wine Route: A UNESCO Vineyard Journey

    Swiss wines haven’t been heard much worldwide due to being neighbors with 2 giant wine countries like France and Italy. Although their own people consume their own wines plenty, we can say that it’s not really possible to see Swiss wines in other countries. We too were unaware of Swiss wines until our visit to… Read more

  • Dubrovnik Wine Bars & Croatian Wines

    Dubrovnik Wine Bars & Croatian Wines

    Before saying hello to our little girl, we chose Dubrovnik for what would be our last trip alone for a while.

    Vinitaly and the City 2023: Verona Wine Festival

    In honor of not letting April pass without a wine trip, we wanted to compile our experiences from the Vinitaly and the City Wine Festival that we attended last April.

    London Wine Bars (England)

    During our 1-week London trip planned for our WSET3 education, we of course didn’t waste our evenings.

    Greek Island Wines: Crete, Santorini, Mykonos & Milos

    As our Greek Islands Cruise Tour, which we had planned months in advance, was approaching, the only topic we were researching like crazy was: Greek Wines! The wines we had recently had the chance to taste in both Drama and Chios had gotten us more than excited for our trip. Our only problem was choosing… Read more

    Melnik Wine Route: Wineries and Bulgarian Wines

    Melnik is a tiny town with a population of only 300, located in the Struma Valley in southwestern Bulgaria, which we could describe as Bulgaria’s equivalent of Sirince. The most notable feature of this town, where you’d find more people per randomly selected square meter in Istanbul, is that the surrounding region has a very… Read more

    When we planned our 3-day trip to Budapest for the Sziget Music Festival, while thinking about what to do at the festival in the evenings, there was one topic we really wanted to integrate into our daytime city tours: Hungarian Wines!
