Wine Travel Paired With Simplicity.
WINE IS COMPLICATED. TRAVELING TO WINE COUNTRY ISN'T.
Carpe Travel is a content site for people interested in visiting wine country and learning more about the regions they plan to sip in. We offer wine country guides – written by local experts – that introduce you to a wine region, including its history, the wines it produces and insider tips and itineraries. Our guides are designed to help you curate your own grape escape with information on where to sip, where to stay and things to do beyond the vines.
Carpe Travel currently has 25 state-specific wine country guides in the United States with additional guides within specific states, as well as guides to international destinations, British Columbia, Canada; Piedmont, Italy; and Mexico. Like a good wine cellar, the number of our guides keep growing. Check back often, or subscribe to sip in more of the world. Want to work with us?
The goal of Carpe Travel is to provide a resource for wine lovers - from novices to experienced pros - to support them on their wine county adventures. To arm them with details on the regions, insider tips, must-visit spots, and things to see and do beyond the vines so they can curate their perfect grape escape.
The contributors to Carpe Travel share their expertise, tips and ideas on exploring wine country around the world. (Even with kids!!)

Every wine region has a story, and it’s so much more than what’s in the bottle.
We're sharing those stories, one sip at a time.
