The holidays are coming, and pretty soon it will even be time to start thinking about Easter vacation in the spring. OK, OK, maybe that\u2019s going a bit far, but it is true there are times when you can take a break, relax with your family, and be a tourist all year round. But what kind of tourist are you? We\u2019re fans of wine tourism as an alternative to the usual beach vacation<\/strong>. What about you?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wine tourism<\/strong> is just that: Tourism where wine<\/strong> is the key feature. Wine culture, its architecture, or its landscape are some of the areas that shape the history of a region and its links to the wine industry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that we don\u2019t like sun and sand \u2013 far from it. The aim of today\u2019s post is to suggest wine tourism as an alternative to the traditional tourism offering<\/strong>. It\u2019s an alternative that isn\u2019t seasonal, since it\u2019s something you can do throughout the year, and, over time, it\u2019s become one of the preferred options for Spanish tourists<\/strong> and foreign tourists who come to discover our country.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In fact, 2017 was a very good year for wine tourism. According to data from the 10th<\/sup> annual report on visits to wineries and wine museums<\/a><\/strong>, published in April by the Spanish Association of Wine Cities<\/a> (ACEVIN), there were 3,213,367 visits last year. That figure represents an increase of 18.23% compared to the previous year, and it\u2019s the third highest since ACEVIN began measuring this data in 2008. This is surely a sign that wine tourism is establishing itself at a good pace among the array of tourism options on offer in Spain.<\/p>\n

The Pened\u00e8s region in top position<\/strong><\/p>\n

If we take a closer look at the visitor figures for the routes associated with the Wine Routes of Spain, the Pened\u00e8s Cava and Wine Route<\/a> shares the top spot in the ranking alongside the Jerez Route<\/a>. This is good news for the sector and for our region, because it confirms that our area is known the world over as a bona fide wine region. Why not pay us a visit? You definitely won\u2019t get bored! Here are some of our suggestions based on what we have on offer.<\/a> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
