Tipsy Travel: Wine Trails
Photographer: European Citizen»>Go to Slideshow: Wine Trails
While the prospect of travel may inspire your inner Apollonian to fantasize, scheme, and dream, once on the ground, there is immense pleasure in letting a well-laid plan play itself out in a hedonistic, Dionysian fashion. A bit ahead of the now-trendy agritourism curve, wine trails developed as rural outposts of flavor and culture, providing travelers with stimulating opportunities for inebriation.
Even if you know little about grapes or abhor the fussy dissection of flavors and terroir—you can learn so much just by exploring the leafy landscape of wine—digging into the dirt, smelling the vines under the beating sun, going underground to contemplate the almost holy ritual of controlled fermentation, and pondering the effects of a cold night, southern exposure, altitude, or soil composition on acidity and flavor.
