Antoine Levy, Sales & Marketing Director, at The Thinking Traveller, said:

‘‘Wine tourism has become increasingly popular over the past few years. Travellers are constantly searching for unique travel experiences. Visiting wineries today is not just about wine tasting, it’s also about the ambiance, the local culture, the breathtaking sights, the architecture, the tours and capturing the whole experience – and one of the most popular ways to capture and share your experience is through Instagram. Because we offer a wide range of wine experiences across our destinations – from wine tasting, to in-villa wine delivery to harvest time holidays, we wanted to find out which vineyards prove to be Instagrammers’ dream locations and inspire them.’’
