Wine tours in the digital age

For wine lovers, there is a special wine tour for a long time. But today, as digital technology penetrates almost all aspects of life, this type of tourism also changes.

Portal Wine Paths were made in April last year, Forbes said. Clients from French agencies specializing in wine tourism often turn to him to seek advice about the wineries outside France they must visit, which encourages agency owners to create special resources for wine and travel lovers.

Today Wine Paths works with 11 countries, including France, Spain, Portugal and South Africa, in collaboration with 22 local travel agencies and with around three hundred restaurants, wineries and hotels. At the end of last year, Wine Paths discovered the American market, adding to its destination Napa Valley - a famous wine region in California.

Wine Street Customers can make your own wine tour by booking through the places the Visitors Portal appeals to them, or to them, may be listed on the website of the state agency selected by the client. In both cases, Wine Paths remain free for wine lovers - getting a portal on the facts required of the partners annual subscription fee, and also the commission fee for bookings made through it.

The secret to the success of Wine Paths is the selection of the right local wine expert (and this is the main difficulty). These people should not only experience in local wines, provide appropriate recommendations and be able to work with the most demanding guests. It is very important that they can open to Wine Street customers closed for everyone else - for example, guests appreciate the opportunity to visit the restaurant, where tables are booked for the next week, or interesting small wines, which some people know.

By the way, a visit to the wineries with Wine Strip experts often goes beyond the usual tourist - for example, the program may include aromatherapy sessions or lectures on ampelography (the study of types and grape varieties).

However, the creators of Wine Paths will not limit themselves to wine alone. At the end of the year, they promise to launch the same resources dedicated to premium whiskey varieties. So quality alcohol lovers can be satisfied - in the Internet age to realize their passion for them, it becomes much easier.
