/While travelling, it is easy to be overwhelmed by choice, for when the world is before you, where do you go first? However, it helps to have goals when you plan your travels—even before you start thinking about the budget. So here are the five most enjoyable locations if one of your goals is to visit the most memorable winery when wandering.
South Africa's Cape Winelands

This area is the ideal climate for the grape vines, with breathtaking mountain ranges. In this region, there are more than 300 wineries, and they are within a 60 minute drive from one another. However, the oldest one is Lanzerac, for it was founded in 1692, shortly after the Dutch colonized Cape Town. Lanzerac has beautiful views of the Stellenbosch valley, a spa, and a place to spend the night. Even so, they advertise wine because it attracts tourists. Wine advisors direct the wine tasting and are tailor-made for the group visiting the estate.
Hahndorf Hill, Australia

This winery is in The Adelaide Hills, known for growing and making unique wines, like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. Adelaide Hills is located in South Australia and is a large area with a dry climate. The Hahndorf Hill winery is in a village of German influence, Hahndorf, and it's apparent from the soil that the hill used to be a mine. Moreover, the minerals in the ground wine aid with Australia's version of wine offered. Some examples of the unique wine available are Grüner Veltliner, Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt. Overall, this winery offers a secluded experience and is only a couple minutes' drive from the main street at Hahndorf.
El Grifo,Canary Islands Spain

When you think of a winery, do you think of a volcano? Not many do, but at El Grifo, that is the reality. The grapes thrive in the enriched volcanic soil and dry climate. The benefit of volcanic soil is that a light layer of ash and soil can produce extremely fertile grapes.
The Canary Islands are on the coast of Spain in the Atlantic Ocean on the South- West of Spain and the West of Morocco, Africa.
El Grifo has been producing wine for over 244 years. The winery produces over 500,000 wine bottles from harvest yearly. When tourists visit, they are met with fields of grapes surrounded by black soil and walls made of lava stones. The standard tour costs 20 euros, so a guide gives a 60 minute tour. However, there is a cheaper option where an audio recording guides you, costing only 7 euros.
Sula Vineyards India

In 1996, the Sula Vineyards was founded.It was created by Rajeev Samant who became interested in wine after his stay in California. His interest peaked when he studied in The United States of America and worked at a winery. Later he was interested in the fertile land of Nashik, which was known for growing grapes, and the rest is history.
In Nashik, there are two distinct seasons: the dry season and the wet season, the wet season is often overcast, and the dry season is humid and hot.
The wine tasting and tour are a private experience for you and your loved one. The winery is connected to hotels where one can overlook the vineyard and the lake beyond; moreover, they also have options to dine in the sunset for a quiet night.
One of these locations should have an atmosphere that could fit your travel needs and entice your need for adventure. Whether you are interested in the views, histories or wines, every last one of these locations invites you on a little soul search—time to get away from everyday life and look at what the earth has to offer you.
