Top 10 Wine Vacations



This week, Coastal Living has an article about the top 10 wine vacations you can take in the U.S. and Canada. It is an interesting, eclectic mix that doesn't limit itself only to popular West Coast locations (though there are a few on the list). It looks like they took the time to find destinations in several parts of the country. Here are just a few of the destinations they listed. Check out the article for the rest.
The Inn at Chateau Grand Traverse, Traverse City, Michigan
In the nation's fourth-largest grape-growing state, Chateau Grand Traverse winery welcomes travelers to a property overlooking a vineyard and Grand Traverse Bay. The six-bedroom lodging is handy for sampling Grand Traverse's many award-winning varietals, including a diverse family of Rieslings. The inn also anchors a visit to other wineries on Lake Michigan's Old Mission Peninsula appellation: It's a short drive to Chateau Chantal, Bowers Harbor Vineyards, Brys Estate Vineyard & Winery, and Peninsula Cellars for tastings of myriad varietals; 800/283-0247, wineriesofoldmission.com.

Ingleside Vineyards, Oak Grove, Virginia
Near the Chesapeake Bay, on Virginia's historic Northern Neck, Ingleside Vineyards welcomes wine vacationers to two rental cottages. Four-bedroom Leeds Cove overlooks the Rappahannock River; two-bedroom Vineyard Views enjoys, well, views of the vineyard. Guests may stroll to Ingleside Winery for guided tours and tastings, offered daily; 804/224-8687 or inglesidevineyards.com.

The Blue Hill Inn, Blue Hill, Maine
The Blue Hill Inn offers three- and four-night packages for Downeast Maine's second annual foliagelinks, Food, & Wine Festival October 11-14.
