It's a total time-saver and makes the pre-departure process easier by eliminating your need to source info from friends, social media followers, or various lists on the Internet. It also exposes you to kinds of trips you may have never thought of going on, like wine-cations based in other countries.

Right now, there are a ton of wine-cations you can get guides for and experience on your own. For adventurers who don't mind going on longer flights, there's a guide for Porto, Portugal titled "Porto: History and Good Vibes." In the description, traveler Luzia Cavalcante notes the guide, which only costs $25, will give you info on the local food spots, UNESCO World Heritage sites, wineries, and places to stop for pictures. (It's made with a three to five-day trip in mind.)

On Wild Bum, there's also a guide for a week on the Oregon Coast. This guide will provide you with the details on the best beaches to stop at, and where you can score the most beautiful and Insta-worthy #views. For $75, the guide lays out trip plans for the following places: Astoria, Cannon Beach, Manzanita, Tillamook, Pacific City, and Newport. Even if you only have time to stop at a few of these places, it's worth picking up so you know exactly where to sample wines and craft beers, or simply explore.

In addition to these guides, there are also ones for: Los Alamos, otherwise known as "Santa Barbara's wine country"; Napa, California; and the epic country of New Zealand. Log onto the site ASAP to check out what these guides include, and possibly pick one up before your next wine-cation. Grape times await.
