Each year The World’s 50 Best Vineyards reveal the world's most exceptional vineyard experiences and gives a unique snapshot of the best wine tourism destinations across the globe.
While not a ranking itself, Explore operates as an extension of the annual The World’s 50 Best Vineyards list. The destinations featured in Explore have all received votes from the experts who create the rankings of The World’s 50 Best Vineyards to form an exciting database of all the celebrated vineyards that have appeared in the lists over the years. The result is a more diverse range of expert-recommended destinations from modern architectural wonders, UNESCO-protected ancient cellars, Michelin-starred restaurants to small, family-run wineries where the owners still conduct the tours.
To be included in The World’s 50 Best Vineyards Explore database, a winery must receive a significant number of votes from the voting Academy that creates the annual ranking. The World’s Best 50 Vineyards is ultimately responsible for the curation of the database. Vineyards cannot apply to be part of The World’s 50 Best Vineyards Explore.
Search by country, region or vineyard name or browse our editor’s top picks. Explore allows you to easily navigate through all these, helping you plan your dream escape. Discover which wineries have accommodation, restaurants and spas and which offer something a little different, such as a horse-drawn vintage carriage tour through the vineyard, tapas amid a collection of beautifully restored classic cars or lessons in cooking on an open fire. The choice is yours.
