Where is the most beautiful wine region in the world?

Posted by christopherso, Nov 11, 2008.

I have been to Alsace in France and Mosel in Germany and I think they are both very pretty! What's your favorite, let's share!

I've never seen them personally, so not sure if this counts, but I always liked the quaint Italian towns and their terraced vineyards:

I'll try and find a better picture...

It is the smallest region in Italy and not very well known for these tasty wines......am sure that will change.

I also believe I heard that it is the highest wine producing region in the world.

Haven't been there, but I agree with Adam... South Africa is amazingly beautiful!

The villages are quaint and unique. There is something for everyone. Walking is a way of life and how could food pairings be better!

Although I haven't been there ... the Oakangan Valley is pretty impressive. Yes, my Canadian pride is showing.

In addition to Valle d'Aosta, other beautiful areas with delicious wines I have visited are the Venento, specifically, wines from beautiful Eugeni Colli area. Also don't miss the wine area around Lago di Garda as well as, of course, the spectacular Amorones. Piemonte is also beautiful----don't believe anyone that tells you these only "only hills"---to a Floridian, they are definitely mountains!

So much wine......so little time. (I wish I could figure out how to put some pictures up here?)

0 9: Reply by terry picillo, Jan 15.; Yes but when I do that, it will only let me insert a URL link? I can't seem to pull up the pictures on my PC hard drive for selection---I don't know what an "image URL" is for my hard drive? I'm obviously not very "technical".

1667 3027: Reply by Philip, Jan 15.; Terry - sorry, that might not be clear - you can only link to images that are on the internet. If you have images on your hard disk you would need to load them to somewhere like Flickr or Facebook first, then drop the link into the box below.

Hope that helps
