One of the best times to book a trip to a vineyard is autumn when the harvesting begins, allowing visitors to get a glimpse of ripened grapes in full bloom before they are picked and turned into wine.
Many vineyards celebrate this season with events, tours and tastings while the expansive rows of vines start to show their autumn hues.
Planning a getaway based around a love for wine is becoming more popular year on year. New Airbnb data reveals that guest bookings in 2023 for getaways near or on vineyards across the UK and Europe have shot up by approximately 20 per cent since last summer.
With thousands of listings all over the world that are situated in some of the most highly-regarded wine regions, from Provence in France to Stellenbosch in South Africa, there are plenty of places for wine enthusiasts to discover.

France is packed with some of the world’s most revered wine regions, from the historical province of Champagne, home to the world’s most famous sparkling wine, to Bordeaux, known for its sweet sauternes. Provence, however, competes with its wine region sisters by boasting a Mediterranean climate and the glamorous resort towns of Saint-Tropez and Cannes. Responsible for producing nearly 10 per cent of the world’s rosé wine hoard, Provence is the only wine region where pink wine is their main wine product.
If you and another guest are looking to visit the land of rosé, Le Mazet des Baux de Provence offers a peaceful haven at the foot of the Alpilles mountains, complete with a private pool. The Airbnb has four terraces to choose from, allowing guests to sample local vineyard wine in the sun at all hours of the day.
