A bit of a mouth-full, wine / travel blogging competition… Great Wine Capitals is an association of some of the world’s great wine regions. Their mission is to spread the word that these wine regions are fantastic travel destinations. Last year they arranged a competition for bloggers who write on wine and travel.
We write a lot about wine and travel on The Wine Travel Blog so we were of course keen to participate.
We did not win. Mindy Joyce did with her piece A Magical Trip to Bordeaux, A Better Trip to the Wine Counter on WineryCritic.com. Congratulations!
But we came in second place, runner-up with Britt’s article Combining Valparaiso and Casablanca makes a magical wine tour.
In addition we landed the number 5 and number 7 slots. Her are our articles:
- The Mendoza wine region: a land of amazing contrasts (Britt)
- Pouring over the edge in the Franschhoek vineyards (Britt)
- The importance of always carrying a flash-light when wine touring in Bordeaux (Per)
- Let’s go for a walk in Bordeaux City! (Per)
- The red soul of Tuscan wines: sangiovese (Åsa)
- Combining Valparaiso and Casablanca makes a magical wine tour (Britt)

Even if you do not write about it travelling in a wine region is a fantastic inspiration. And pleasure. The best way to enjoy and to experience a wine region is on a wine tour with BKWine.
