Globally, there are 73 wine-producing countries that encompass over 500 distinct wine regions. While the exact number of wine routes is difficult to tally due to thousands of micro-routes and localised tasting trails, there are roughly 200+ major international wine trails officially designated for tourism across the globe.
Wine lovers and wine tourists around the world are certainly spoilt for choice when deciding which wine regions to visit. From iconic destinations to emerging boutique regions, travellers are constantly searching for memorable wine experiences, unique accommodation, exceptional dining and authentic local discoveries.
Yet despite the abundance of information online, researching and planning a wine trip can often become time-consuming, fragmented and even confusing.
Most wine region websites still rely heavily on traditional listings with inconsistent information, varying user experiences and little geographical context.
Travellers may find a winery they want to visit, but struggle to understand how far it is from their accommodation, what restaurants are nearby or how easily experiences can be connected into a practical itinerary or scenic wine route.
Our interactive map-based wine tourism platform together with 360 WalkThru videos is designed to change that and give wine tourists more confidence in their travel choices.
Our dedicated WINE360 MAP will be launched soon. For now, please try out our DEMO TRAVEL360 map which will give you a good idea of the user experience:

By bringing wineries, tasting rooms, cellar doors, accommodation, restaurants and tourism experiences together into one visual and immersive discovery experience, travellers can explore wine regions more naturally and confidently creating context - something traditional listings struggle to achieve.
Instead of endlessly scrolling through disconnected listings, they can instantly visualise locations, distances, nearby attractions and potential travel routes while planning a more seamless and enjoyable wine journey.
For wine estates and wine regions, this creates an opportunity to become part of a connected global wine tourism ecosystem specifically designed for how modern travellers research and plan their experiences today.
Interactive maps and immersive 360 WalkThru videos allow wine destinations to showcase not only what they offer, but how it feels to be there - inspiring greater confidence, engagement and visitation from wine travellers around the world.
The future of wine tourism discovery lies in helping travellers visualise and experience a wine region before they even arrive.
MAP LISTING INFORMATION:
Each wine estates listing will include:
HOW WILL THE MAP BE USED?
Once developed, the interactive wine tourism map will not only serve as a global wine travel discovery platform, but also as a highly valuable embeddable tourism tool that can be integrated into a wide range of travel, tourism and hospitality websites around the world.
Because the platform combines interactive map-based discovery, itinerary planning, wine route visualisation and immersive 360 WalkThru videos, it creates significant value for organisations looking to inspire travellers, increase engagement and promote wine tourism experiences more effectively.
The easily embeddable map would be made available, at no cost, to any organisation promoting and marketing tourism such as airlines, destination marketing organisations, tour operators, travel agencies, wine route organisations, travel planners, etc.
The flexibility of the platform also allows for multiple customised deployment options. While the primary vision is to create a global interactive wine tourism map featuring wine routes and wine regions from around the world, bespoke regional versions can also be developed. For example:
These tailored versions allow tourism organisations and wine industry stakeholders to create highly focused destination marketing tools aligned with their own regional tourism strategies and visitor audiences.
The map becomes far more than a directory. It evolves into an interactive tourism infrastructure platform that helps travellers visually understand destinations, discover nearby experiences, plan routes, identify accommodation and restaurants and experience wine regions virtually before they travel.
For tourism organisations, embedding the map provides a modern, immersive and highly engaging way to promote destinations while keeping visitors on their own websites for longer.
For wineries, accommodation providers and tourism operators, it increases discoverability and positions them within a connected tourism ecosystem rather than isolated listings.
As global travel becomes increasingly experience-driven, interactive destination discovery tools such as this will play an important role in how travellers research, compare and confidently choose wine tourism destinations around the world.

- A California wine country map
- An Australia wine regions map
- An Italy wine tourism discovery map
- Country-specific wine route networks

HOW CAN 360 WALKTHRU VIDEOS HELP?
Wine is an emotional and sensory experience and travellers increasingly want reassurance before booking. Static photographs can only tell part of the story. A 360 WalkThru video allows travellers to virtually step inside a cellar door, explore a tasting room, walk through vineyard accommodation or experience the ambience of a wine estate before they arrive.
This creates trust and confidence while helping travellers feel emotionally connected to a destination. They can better understand the setting, atmosphere, architecture, views and overall experience in a far more authentic and transparent way than traditional images allow.
To view a example of a 360 WalkThru video click HERE. For more information about 360 WalkThru videos click HERE.
We invite wine estates, wine regions, accommodation providers, restaurants and tourism experiences to become part of this global next generation wine tourism discovery platform and position themselves where modern travellers are making their future travel decisions.
WHAT DOES IT COST TO BE LISTED?
The cost to be listed is US$12.00 / month or US$ 120.00 if paid annually. (South Africa - R 185.00 / month or R 1 850.00 if paid annually).
The cost to create a 360 WalkThru video depends on a few factors but production costs are generally in line with traditional video production costs.
