World's Best Vineyards - and a tipple or two

What makes the world's best vineyard? The one where you get the best photos? The tour which explains everything? The best lunch? The best shop selling souvenirs of scarves with grape designs, jewellery and items for yourself and friends? The tasting which tells you which wines to buy?

My favourites

UK
