We have just returned from a wonderful break in Chile and Argentina. So it is now time to start planning our travels for 2016.

I am also mapping out my virtual travel for my new magazine EST! Wine Tours. Four regular issues will be published throughout the year and a number of Special Issues are in the pipeline. These specials will cover in detail one wine destination region. They are being prepared by writers with expert knowledge of the region.

EST! Wine tours will continue to have an emphasis on lesser known regions. For example if you have been to Tuscany and want to go back to Italy where should you go? In the February Issue of the magazine we will have a story about visiting Southern Italy. And there will be lots of other ideas for visiting other regions throughout the world.

If you are looking for ideas then EST! might be able to get the mind working.

If you do have a destination mind let me know and maybe we can feature it in a future article.

Even if you are staying home, there will be plenty to read in your armchair travels. Two issues have already been published and are available for free.

Share your wine travel experinces

But I’d like your help with the magazine. Maybe you have a blog post or a collection of photos about an interesting wine destination that your would like to share. Contact me and we can come to an agreement.

The magazine is free. I’d like to keep it free and you can help by getting me a wider circulation. That way I’ll be able to attract paying advertisers.

Step One. Like the magazine page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ESTwineguide/

Better still leave a suggestion about a region to be covered or question there.

Step Two.Subscribe to the magazine via https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/est-wine-tours/id1022203735?mt=8

It is free and no animals were harmed in the production process.

There are already two issues available and a third is on the way.

Step Three. Encourage your friends to do Step One and Step Two.

Have a happy and safe holiday period and best of luck with your wine adventures in 2016.

Cheers

Darby.
