Drunk on Love
Grape Escapes: Gallop, Pedal, and Drink Your Way Through Some of the World's Celebrated Vineyards


	How Sweet it Is: The intoxicating attraction of vineyard tours (PhotoDisc)

It may be a Valentine's Day cliché to describe falling in love as heady intoxication. But clichés arise out of truth. Rather than split hairs with any drunkenly enamored intrepid travelers, we're adopting a literal interpretation by offering adventurous couples an overview of some of the world's best, and least visited, vineyards—trips that combine sampling the fruits of the vine with a bit of physical exertion. Some require some serious pedaling between chateaux while others add haute cuisine to round out the Bacchanalia. Still others ask for nothing more than the heft of a wine glass and the ability to locate your designated driver. Whichever approach whets your appetite, rest assured: there's a trip here that'll cater to your romantic wanderlust.
