Salento’s Wine and Oil

Fine wine and cuisine are part of the charm of Salento. During the ITB Berlin, the region held a press conference on why visitors should come to the less traveled part of Italy. Certainly it will be worth the journey for a nice beach and a glass.

Stay tuned for more podcasts on the region from officials.

Never One Bottle

On a recent trip to the wine country of Franconia, I paid visits to two villages with wineries.  This area of Germany is spangled with vineyards. The charmed settings made for pleasured experiences.  I could not resist tasting a few bottles of wine.   One lead to many more.  The hosts took pleasure in the samplings.  

Sponsored by #CanonDeu.  I used the Canon SX740HS camera to record the journey.

The Moon Under the Water

A beach where visitors are required to walk without shoes.  This is the tradition in the North Sea resort town of Büsum. As the tide leaves a moon surface textured seafloor pattern emerges.  Once known as a small fishing village, Büsum is an ideal location for exploring Coastal Germany or for just a relaxing break.  The seaside destination of 6,000 offers a Down to Earth charm worth absorbing.

Büsum is 415 miles from Berlin in Schleswig-Holstein.
