In 8th place we see Local Wine Events, the web’s largest directory of wine events, that also produces a lot of original content. As we include both industry publications and user-generated content platforms we decided Local Wine Events makes sense as an addition.

Good ways to do this are to visit a working winery (every state in the U.S. has at least two), or attend wine classes or wine tasting events (the best site for finding out where those are is localwineevents.com).

The best way to learn about wine is to, quite simply, taste more wine. And there's no better place to taste a wide range of wines than at a wine tasting. Here you can try a variety of wines all in one spot and ask questions about the wines from some very knowledgeable people like distributors, or occasionally even the winemaker. A great resource to find out where and when wine tastings are being held is the website LocalWineEvents.com. It's a one-stop information center for a wide range of local food and wine events.

4. Local Wine Events (iPhone, Android – free) Local Wine events app logo Like wine-searcher, another Ronseal app that scores for its simplicity, being essentially a listings service of tastings and other wine events in your area. An app like this depends on the quality and timeliness of its information, and in this respect it's hard to fault if you live in London: I was amazed at just how many wine events there are in the city these days. It's slightly less impressive if you're on holiday or visiting wine regions overseas: just 10 events came up for the next year in wine-mad Bordeaux, for example, and there were none at all for Barcelona.

>>> Seasonal fairs, wine schools and winery tasting rooms offer wine tastings. But perhaps the best chance to taste several wines is at for-fee tastings held by a fundraising or affinity group at a restaurant or other venue. (The best place to find out about such tastings, all over the world, is at localwineevents.com, the most comprehensive posting of such events.) .......

>>> An even better bet is to schedule a wine country tour to coincide with a major wine festival. They happen all over the country, and a website that consolidates most of these is localwinevents.com/festivals. Included in the dozens of major festivals listed on the site are a few in other countries (such as the white truffle food and wine event later this month in Piemonte!)............. see link for more.
