MAIN Home Life Entertaining Wine Wineries

Wine tours and wine tastings found at 'the source' can be a relaxing way to vacation, or a good way to get a jump on the commercial crowd when it comes to buying investment quality wines.

Even for those with only a casual interest in wines, a visit to a local winery can just be a great day out to the countryside Usually, it also ultimately proves to be a real eye-opener in terms of how wine grapes are grown and the process involved in producing a great wine.

From California and Oregon to Bordeaux, Tuscany and Australia's Barossa Valley, you'll find local wineries to contact or visit just up ahead.

Elsewhere around this site you can also find your own taste of the grape in the US, Europe as well as a complete look at wineries around the world ...


More information about wineries around the Web:

Travel Envoy - The Wine Guide - More comprehensive lists of wineries online with information vast and easy to access. Good international listings broken down into region with links to official Web sites where available.

The WineWeb - Another directory claiming to be the biggest and best - and they may be right - with a database searchable by wine name, winery, or via a clickable international map, along with a trip planner, featured sites and wine news.

Appellation America - This site's area of coverage is North America, with an amazing amount of information, features, a wine writer's area and a section on grape personalities, but the main focus is on getting appellations set and recognized in North America. They also have a complete directory of wineries in Canada & the USA. (Thanks to Bryan for letting us know about this one.)

All American Wineries - A labor of love from Webmaster, Bob Hodge, with a huge link directory to U.S. wineries by state along with a smaller selection of international listings of wine-related sites and associations.

Weekend Winery - If you like the color pink there's much to be said about the design, but otherwise a solid directory of U.S. wineries searchable by state plus a funky mix of features including Wine of the Month, related recipes and more.

Wines and Vines - A nice site that has a very good listing of California wineries with links to each, and a separate page for other U.S. states. No international listings, but the U.S. coverage is very good.
