Raising a glass to the world's best vineyards

|November 22, 2025
From Chile and Uruguay to Germany, these are the greatest wine experiences.
IN THE world's vast array of esteemed wine regions, and rapidly growing range of enotourism, some might say those looking for the ultimate wine experience are spoilt for choice.
And a global vineyard competition is the greatest way to lead you to your dream destination; where you can enjoy excellent wines, topnotch tastings and tours... not to mention outstanding views in stunning surroundings.
To release your inner wanderlust, this year's list of The World's 50 Best Vineyards has been released at an awards ceremony held at Amelia Park Wines, in the famous Margaret River wine region, Western Australia.
With Chile's VIK claiming the top spot and The Best Vineyard in South America, these are the headliners grabbing our attention...
Chile is a big hitter with its increasingly diverse style of wines and impressive wine regions, and last year's second runner-up, VIK, was crowned number one.
Award-winning, world-class wines may be their passion, but this luxurious 22-bedroom hotel offers a panoramic vista of the Andes, with 360-degree views of its surrounding vineyards and nature reserve.
