Wines and wine roads
A free and alternative travel guide
This is a simple and not exhaustive guide based on my personal experience. In the last few years we bought wines at the vineyards in Italy and France. I suggest you the following guides:
 | "Vini D'Italia Gambero Rosso Editore" for Italian wines |
| "Le Guide Hachette des Vins" for French wines |
Both these guides are renewed annually and arrive at the bookstores in November, if you are interested to buy the first classified wines the best is to visit the vineyards short after. If you visit the less famous canteens you often can buy great wines at a little price. For me the most important thing is also the relationship you can create with the producers that almost everywhere are very happy to welcome you. Especially in France the reception is very friendly and is really quite difficult not to taste all the wines they make.
