Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Norway is home to a cider trail worth visiting. When you think of wine and booze-themed getaways, Napa Valley and the rolling vineyards of France likely come to mind first. Sure, they're iconic—no one's debating that.
But if you're looking for something beyond the usual wine tour, there's a whole world of drink trails out there that offer much more than swirling a glass and saying things like "notes of oak." These global drink experiences take you off the beaten path, combining booze with immersive cultural and historical adventures. Whether you're flying over agave fields in Mexico, kayaking along Norwegian fjords for a cider tasting, or trekking through the Andes to visit women-led wineries, these unique trails prove that wine (and other spirits) can be so much more than a casual sip.
Here are some lesser-known yet extraordinary booze-themed journeys that go beyond Napa and France, delivering stories, scenery, and history along with every drink. Let's start in South America, where Argentina's Mendoza region has firmly established itself as a powerhouse in the wine world. But this is far from your typical vineyard tour.
At SB Winemaker's House & Spa Suites, you get a truly personalized wine route curated by none other than Susana Balbo—Argentina's first female winemaker. These bespoke itineraries offer stops at vineyards focused on women in wine, sustainable practices, and Mendoza's deep-rooted winemaking history. It's.
