I visited Chile in 2025. It will always hold a special place in my heart. It was my first trip to South America, and I cannot wait to go back. Good Chilean wine is hard to find outside of Chile right now. I'm here to tell you it's worth the voyage to get there.

My favorite wine, Barolo. Piedmont is where Barolo is from, where Barolo is King. They do have white wines here, but it's mostly red. I would suggest a small tour group unless you speak fluent Italian. Some of the wineries we visited were not open to the public. Happy to share my tips for this area.

Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles. I recently passed my Champagne Specialist exam. It was important to me to travel there. So much history, so much prestige, and so much fun!
Pro tip: The Champagne region is a quick (under one hour) train ride from Paris.

As an American, I had to include Napa as one of my top wine trips. I love the weather, the people, and obviously the wine! I've been close to ten times and can't wait to go back.
Pro Tip: Dining at the French Laundry is possible, you have to be on the app at midnight when the reservations drop!
