Hi Reader,

If you ask me, sparkling wine deserves more than just New Year’s Eve. 🥂

From classic European fizz to American cool-climate bubbles, there are plenty of places making sparkling wines worth traveling for.

Some of these regions are world-famous. While others are quietly crafting standout bottles that rival Champagne, often for a fraction of the price.

Here are five destinations where the bubbles flow and the tasting experiences sparkle.✨

🍾 Cava, Spain​
Spain’s answer to Champagne, Cava is made using the traditional method but with local grape varieties. Just outside Barcelona lies Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, the center of it all.

🍎 Hudson Valley, New York​
An emerging sparkling region that’s turning heads with méthode champenoise bottlings from producers like Fjord and Milea. It’s proof that bubbles aren’t just for big-name regions.

No matter where you go, a glass of bubbles makes it feel a little more special.

And in these regions, sparkling wine isn’t just for celebrations. There’s always something worth toasting. 🥂
