Forget the usual winery tasting with a perfunctory cheese board.
Some vineyards are now serving up destination-worthy dining too, pairing seriously good food with equally impressive wines and views.
Wine Enthusiast magazine has rounded up its favourite winery restaurants around the world, from laid-back vineyard lunches to ambitious tasting menus worth planning an entire trip around.
The publication’s list is made up of 57 wineries globally, and 22 are in Europe – with six in Italy alone – meaning a significant chunk of the best spots are relatively close to home.
