Some trips are about adventure. Others are about relaxation. But vineyard travel has a way of offering both, and oftentimes, at the same table. Regardless of how you enjoy spending your PTO, it’s not always easy to book a trip to a destination that encompasses it all. 

Enter vineyard culture. 

With hundreds of winemaking regions across the globe, exploring wine country can tick nearly every box on a traveler’s wish list. Whether it’s an indulgent spa stay with your bestie in Napa Valley, a romantic getaway at a luxurious chateaux in Bordeaux, or sipping Syrah in Ethiopia’s Great Rift Valley, vineyard visits are there to help relax you, pamper you, or wow you with ineffable ambiance. And it’s important to remember that vineyard life is as much about the food as it is the wine.

Why Vineyard Travel Delivers More Than Just Wine

Whether it’s melt-in-your-mouth cheese and charcuterie or Michelin-starred restaurants, pulling up to a vineyard can mean pulling up to the ultimate communal dining experience. While sharing a table with strangers may feel unfamiliar at first, great food and wine always have a way of bringing people together. That spirit of connection and discovery is at the heart of the upcoming romantic comedy You, Me & Tuscany, releasing in theaters on April 10. The film stars Halle Bailey as Anna, an aspiring chef trying to find her way in life, love, and the kitchen.

A Tuscan Vineyard Sets the Stage for Romance 

Produced by Will Packer (Girls Trip, Marry Me), You, Me & Tuscany delivers a romantic tale about discovering who you are and where you belong in the most beautiful setting possible: the historic villages and vineyards of Pienza and Monticchiello in Tuscany, Italy. Then, throw in our favorite royal hottie Regé-Jean Page (alert the ton!) as her love interest, and we’re deep in swoon territory.

If you weren’t planning a winery vacay before You, Me, & Tuscany, that will likely change after you leave the movie theater. Named the “Ideal City of Renaissance” after being founded in the ninth century, Pienza boasts palazzos (Italian for “palaces”), a picturesque cathedral on its central piazza (“square”), and rolling hills blanketed with vineyards and wineries. So, yes, Pienza is that girl. And with Bailey and Page as her co-stars—indulging in mouth-watering food and drink sequences—why would you even try to resist? (One might also say Bailey and Page are pretty mouth-watering, too, but that’s a discussion for a later time.)
