Europe’s harvest season

Harvest time in Europe is beautiful in so many ways, and yields a bumper crop of wonderful opportunities to get involved and meet local people. Some of the countries now producing award-winning wines may surprise you; as weather patterns have changed, so have terroirs, yielding new vineyards and vintners. Many winegrowers offer hands-on experiences, such as grape picking, stomping, and wine tastings, allowing you to form a deeper connection with the destination and its traditions. Look out as well for wines made from fruits other than grapes! Europe’s harvest season is perfect for enjoying beautiful scenery, traveling responsibly, and celebrating Europe’s rich winemaking heritage. Cheers!
