Rías Baixas, Ribera del Duero and Rioja in the TOP20 best wine tourism destinations in the world
Rías Baixas, Ribera del Duero and Rioja in the TOP20 of the best destinations in the world for wine tourism as indicated in a recent study conducted by the portal cvvillas.com.(World’s Best Wine Destinations).
The Galician Denomination of Origin is in twentieth place while Rioja is in fourteenth place and the Castilian is in seventh place.
This ranking is very interesting because there are destinations in all continents except Asia, as you can see in the map made by this portal.
The favorite destination for wine tourism lovers is the French Champagne area, followed by another area of the neighboring country such as Côtes de Provence and completing the podium we find the area of Napa Valley in California, USA.
Bolgheri (Italy), Stellenbosh (South Africa) and Tuscany (Italy) come next, completing the TOP10, Ribera del Duero, Sonoma County (California, USA), Pullgny-Montrachet (France) and Franciacorta (Italy).
Destinations such as Gualtallary (Argentina), Adelaide Hills (Australia),
The country with the most destinations is France with 7 destinations, followed by the USA with 5, Spain and Italy with 3 destinations.
However, it should be noted that not only the opinion of potential wine tourists has been taken into account, but also the ratings of the best wines on the Vivino website, which is undoubtedly a trend to consider for those who are more wine lovers than travel enthusiasts.
As for the valuation of the vineyards that can be visited in the wine tourism experience, the best rated ones on the social network Instagram have also been taken into account, which, curiously indicates that the vineyard claiming the award as the most beautiful in the world is Boschendal, in the Cape Wineland district of South Africa.
Undoubtedly an interesting way to elaborate this ranking of the best destinations in the world for wine tourism, since they give, for our taste, too much weight to a RRSS that, every day, are shown more and more to be quite ‘manipulated’ or, we would say better, ‘conditioned’.
But well, like the saying ‘where you go, do what you see’ and ‘where Vicente goes, where people go’, it may be a new and different way of elaborating this type of rankings, without the entry of ‘more specialized’ portals.
Everyone can give their opinion about it and if it coincides or not with their preferences.
