17 Places You Need To Experience If You’re Low-Key Obsessed With Wine

I know what you’re thinking; rollercoasters and wine don’t mix. But don’t worry, La Cité du Vin (The City of Wine) doesn’t have any wild rides, but they do have 20 wine-themed exhibits and an immersive boat ride – all in a striking building designed to resemble wine swirling in a glass.

Psst, skip-the-line passes are only $22.05.

Hot spring bathing is a must while in Japan, but baths filled with wine, sake, or coffee? Now that’s one for the 'gram. The bright red wine bath is not to be missed (don’t miss the daily manual top-ups that occur at 10 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 4 p.m.).

Yep, you heard right. But don't worry, it's not as rustic as it sounds – each barrel has air conditioning, a private bathroom, large bed, and front deck for you to admire the vineyards with a glass of wine in hand.

Pair your tasting at 290-year-old Ruinart with a tour of the chalk-mining pits that lie 125 feet below the lush vineyards of Champagne, France.

This Polish palace boasts a riding school, Japanese and English-style gardens, and best of all — a Grape Spa. Here you can have a wine bath, grape body scrub, or massage with wine oil. Plus, you’ll probably want to stay the night in one of their 76 rooms housed in a 19th century palace.

Who knew you could grow grapes in the far north? Boreal Winery faces a short summer, but the flavor-packed fruit that results is ideal for making ice ciders and wines. Which also means that this is the place to try obscure Nordic berries (think haskap, lingonberry, and aronia). Did we mention they have an escape room built in a wine cellar?

The 82-room hotel also offers wine masterclasses and weekly wine dinners where an expert winemaker takes a deep dive on wines from a particular region to accompany a special tasting menu. Oh and they also have wine barrel bed frames, and a wine-themed spa (bath in a wine barrel anyone?).

Tour the vineyard, cellars, and giant vat room, marvel at 17th century wine paraphernalia in The Museum of Wine in Art, and 'gram the perfectly manicured “Zen gardens”. Don’t forget to taste the decadent reds that make this winery considered one of the best in France.

Not to worry, head to their (dry) Wine Bar on land.

Their 28-acre vineyard, originally planted in 1989, produces bold flavors thanks to its volcanic soils. Plus, you can have a wine-themed treatment (think, full-body massage, pinot grape foot immersion and body scrub) in their spa.
