Remember overseas traveling? Wasn’t that grand? You just book a ticket, sometimes last minute, and hop on a plane to almost anywhere your heart desired.
Well, those days are gone as of now, so it’s time to think about simply planning… for the next time we can move about freely around the world. Knowing myself, I’ll be on the first plane outta here when they open the borders! I can’t wait to catch up on lost travel.
Get To Know Portugal’s New World of Wine (WOW): Discover History, Culture & Wine in Portugal on Winetraveler.com
When thinking about wine travel, a good place to get inspiration is one of the sites I contribute to, Winetraveler.com. Winetraveler has a lot of great articles that can serve as itinerary pieces for travel both near and far. Such as, traveling to taste wine in Porto, Portugal.
I recently had the opportunity to jump on a Zoom call with the folks at The Fladgate Partnership (Taylor Fladgate Port) and learn more about this year’s vintage and their new WOW (World of Wine) destination. Let me tell you, I really can’t wait to get over there and see what they’ve done. Porto has always been a top destination in my mind, and now, the immediacy is there–I must get to the WOW.
