SPOTLIGHT CELEBRATING FRENCH VINEYARDS


Bordeaux and the Rhône River Valley have winemaking traditions dating back to the first century. The harvest season in Bordeaux begins in late August with white varieties like sauvignon blanc, continuing through October with merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. In the Rhône River Valley, the season begins in August in the Southern Rhône and September in the Northern Rhône. For a behind-the-scenes harvest experience, the


Rhône River Valley’s Domaine de Grangeneuve offers a seven-hour workshop that traces a day in the life of a winemaker from vineyard to barrel. In Bordeaux, harvest time offers the chance to


experience longstanding traditions. The Fête des Vendanges in Saint-Émilion features a torchlight procession by the Jurade de Saint-Émilion, a wine brotherhood with roots in medieval times. Visitors can delve into history first-hand with a stay at Château Pape Clément, which has been harvesting grapes since 1252.


trending ALL EYES ON ARGENTINA


Soccer fans from around the world have long made pilgrimages to Buenos Aires, a city home to one of the world’s highest concentrations of professional soccer teams. However, soccer is only the beginning of Argentina’s


sporting appeal. The Andes’ top-notch powder and uncrowded resorts have made the country an increasingly sought-after skiing destination. With a season running from June through September, Argentina offers North American and European travelers a counter-season opportunity to hit the slopes. The country is also an emerging golf destination, with internationally recognized courses, tour operators and resort hotels. Most travelers begin their trips in Buenos Aires,


nicknamed ‘The Paris of South America’ for its impressive architecture that blends European and South American influences. Beyond the capital, those seeking adventure can head to Patagonia for hiking and horseback riding, while Mendoza is acclaimed for its malbec, attracting visitors with vineyard stays.
