Wine regions, winery guides, tasting experiences and wine travel inspiration.
Most tour companies buy minibuses. I bought a 36-year-old Soviet Lada called Boris. Against all logic, he's become one of the most popular members of the Tipple Tours team. This is the story of how a questionable purchase turned into one of Moldova's most memorable wine adventures.
Most wine tastings take place in vineyards, cellars or hotels. Mine took place inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone after a day exploring abandoned cities and one of history's most famous disaster sites. Looking back, it remains the most unusual venue I've ever used and one of the best stories I've ever brought home.
Wine tourism doesn't have to mean Napa prices and Tuscany crowds. We specialize in wine regions most tourists haven't discovered yet — places where indigenous grape varieties have been growing for millennia, where winemakers still use techniques their great-grandparents taught them, and where a world-class bottle costs what you'd pay for a mediocre one back home. Our wine adventures cover everything from tasting techniques to destination deep-dives, always with the goal of making wine accessible, interesting, and fun.
