To develop this ranking, The Thinking Traveler teams set out to put together a list of the best vineyards in the world based on official rankings. Next, they analyzed Instagram to see how many hashtags were associated with each vineyard. To avoid random images of wine bottles or any other image than a vineyard, The Thinking Traveler team narrowed their searches to hashtags including the vineyard name and the word “vineyard” before sorting them in numerical order depending on the number of images that appear.
The study by The Thinking Traveler also sheds light on the wineries that Instagram users love most in Greece, Italy, Spain, the US and the UK.
Eleven of the 15 most popular wineries in the United States are located in California: Castello di Amorosa, Domaine Carneros, Wilson Creek Winery, Scribe Winery, Folktale Winery, Darioush, Del Dotto Vineyards, Cass Winery, Andretti Winery, Pride Mountain Vineyards, and Tank Winery garage. The other four vineyards are located in New York (Wölffer Estate), Texas (Grape Creek Vineyards), New Jersey (Beneduce Vineyards) and Michigan (Mari Vineyards).
In France, the majority of the fifteen wineries most popular with Instagrammers are in Bordeaux, while a handful are located in Provence, Burgundy, and the Rhone Valley. In Spain, the distribution is more evenly distributed between the vineyards of Barcelona, Catalonia, Rioja-Alavsa, Navarre, Menorca, Majorca, Castile, León, La Rioja, Andalusia, Álava and Cadiz.
The most Instagrammed wineries in Italy are in Tuscany, while the rest are in Sicily and Puglia. Santorini vineyards come first in Greece, the others are in Crete, Paros, Samos, Attica, Kotsi, Thessaloniki, Neflion and Zagorochoria. In the UK, Instagram users raved about wineries across England (Surrey, Cornwall, Sussex, Gloucestershire, Kent, Suffolk, Hampshire) as well as Rhonda Cynon Tuff in Wales.
The study also proves that no matter where you are in the world, beautiful vineyards are waiting to be visited. While many have turned to virtual tours or other experiences because of the pandemic, other wineries are opening their doors with enthusiasm. Raise your glass for perseverance, support your nearest vineyards and wineries, and don’t forget to take some pics for Instagram!
