Alcohol Endeavours

While the wider global alcohol sector continues to face headwinds, vineyard and distillery tourism is thriving. Travellers are seeking out quirky tasting experiences in lesser-known wine regions, whereas tequila’s stateside popularity has sparked an agave spirits travel boom in Mexico, and whisky’s premium appeal is inspiring a host of new luxury experiences in Europe.

The Agritourism Ascent

Agritourism is resonating with culinary travellers, both at the luxury and the more rustic end of the value spectrum, thanks to its provision of nature immersion, a connection to food production from the land and wellness benefits. This includes farm tours, harvesting vegetables, olive oil and honey, interacting with farm animals, and other activities, like orchard picnics and yoga in rural settings.
