Between the Alps and the islands, there are hundreds of appellations and thousands of wine producers in Italy. From tiny family farms to grand estates that have been bottling wine for centuries, you'll find that some of the best wineries in Italy offer more than just mouthwatering wines.
What makes Italy especially good for wine tourism is how close the vines are to places you’re probably visiting anyway. Turin and Alba lead you straight into Barolo country, Florence is ringed by scenic vineyard walking trails, and the Adriatic coast hides peaceful estates a short drive from the sea.
