Global wine destinations for the adventurous wine lover

I love wine. I think it's one of the greatest pleasures in life. In my time with Underground Cellar, I've come to believe that experiencing some of the world's many wine-producing regions in person is something every serious lover should do at least once. COVID-19 may have changed things for now, but there are still so many opportunities out there if you know where to look.

I compiled some global wine destinations for today's blog that I highly recommend for adventurous wine lovers.

Corsica, France

Corsica's dramatic landscape perfectly complements its world-class quality wine. The region's coastal vineyards offer oenophiles access to products that have just started to make their way into foreign markets.

Corsican wines are unique, specific to the island's history. They're very rich in tannin, and specific grapes like Cannonau make for an intense wine.

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia

Okanagan Valley, located in British Columbia, has over 60 home-grown grape varietals. These include Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Chardonnay.

The region also boasts of a variety of fruit wines for the adventurous wine taster.

Penticton, which is home to the central hub of the region's viticulture, is the perfect place to start your tasting tour.

Valle D’Aosta, Italy

Valle D'Aosta is one of the best wine-producing regions in all of Europe. The wines commonly produced here often include grapes such as Gamay, Petit Rouge, and Pinot Noir, with its Prie Blanc white grape being exclusive to this area.

The breathtaking region is also perfect for nature lovers being home to Italy's oldest national park, the Gran Paradiso. In addition, in this part of Italy, you'll find Mont Blanc - one of the country's most majestic mountains!
