We turn wine lovers into vineyard travelers. Small-group tastings, harvest parties, natural wine bars and weekend escapes to the world's most beautiful wine regions.
Join September picking in Rioja, Douro & Napa. Crush, stomp, taste.
See dates →GoingGrape.com started as two friends with a van, a corkscrew and a map of forgotten vineyards. Today we curate immersive wine travel — from biodynamic farms in Loire to volcanic slopes of Etna.
No snobbery, no rush. We meet winemakers, walk the rows, taste from barrels, eat with locals. You learn to smell rain in soil, to hear difference between oak and steel, to pair wine with moment.
Drink less, but better. Visit slower, stay longer. Support families who farm, not factories who brand. Every trip funds replanting of old vines and training of young winemakers.
Half-day city tastings, full-day vineyard raids and 3–5 day harvest escapes. All levels welcome — from curious to collector.
5 bars, 12 pours, pét-nat to orange. Learn to order like a local in Paris, Barcelona or Brooklyn.

From $890 How it works →
Volcanic, coastal, mountain, river — explore our home vineyards with local hosts.
Color tells age: purple = young, brick = evolved. Legs hint alcohol and sugar.
First sniff = fruit. Second after swirl = flowers, spice, soil. No shame in big inhale.
Take small sip, suck a bit of air. Feel acidity (mouth-watering), tannin (drying), body.
Acid loves fat, tannin loves protein, sweet loves salty. Local wine + local food always wins.
Photo the label, rate 1–5, write 3 words. Your palate is your best guide.
“Best weekend of our year. Picked grapes at sunrise in Douro, drank vintage port in a 200-year-old cellar. Magical.”
— Maya & Jonas, Berlin“I knew nothing about wine. Now I host natural wine nights at home. The guides make it fun, zero snobbery.”
— Chris D., Austin“Etna trip was unreal — volcano soil, sea view, 10 wines + Nonna’s pasta. GoingGrape is now our tradition.”
