Discovering new wines is one of the delights of travel. It can be in an airport lounge or during your flight, at a restaurant, or – best of all – visiting the vineyards and wineries themselves.

But while ongoing travel restrictions may have clipped your wings, there’s a whole world of wine still out there to discover and explore – and now Wine Journey brings the very best of it to your door.

Wine Journey is an online wine retailer with a unique wanderlust focus and an innovative approach to showcasing the world’s greatest wine destinations.

These might be places you’ve visited in the past and long to return to – but for now, let Wine Journey’s global cellar reignite those memories.

Or they could be wines from a country or region on your must-visit list, so why not enjoy a little ‘research’ – yes, let’s call it research – with a try-before-you-fly sampling which may leave you even more eager to book that getaway.

Wines to ignite your wanderlust

“Wine Journey aims to transport you to wine-centric destinations, giving you a deep appreciation for the unique profiles of the regions and the makers,” explains Wine Journey founder Amanda Beck.

“Each bottle in every Journey case serves a specific purpose – whether it’s familiarity, intrigue, or wonder – and you won’t find any tourist traps. Some of our wines are regional mainstays and some are a little off the beaten track, but they’re all unique, exciting, and delicious.”

Every bottle in the Wine Journey cellar is sourced directly from the producer or their licenced distributor, with a focus on quality wines from esteemed independent winemakers with a compelling story and a strong connection to place.

“We want to inspire the sense of adventure, freedom and discovery that you feel when you travel, and combine that with the pleasure of great wine,” Beck says.
