Camping and wine might not seem like an obvious pairing, but they go together better than you’d think.
Camping is one of the best ways to unplug, unwind, and get a little dirt under your nails. Add wine to the mix, and now you’re not just communing with nature -- you’re toasting it.
With a little prep, you can enjoy great wine in the great outdoors.
The key is packing smart: think lightweight and unbreakable -- bottles, cans, or boxes are your best friends on the trail. And yes, screw caps are king out here -- because no one wants to wrestle with a corkscrew next to a raccoon.
Don’t skip the practical things. A collapsible or sturdy plastic wine glass adds a touch of elegance to your campfire dinner, and a cooler will keep your wine perfectly chilled.
Here’s a pro move: pack a bottle of sparkling wine. There’s nothing like sipping bubbles under the stars.

Because roughing it doesn’t mean rough wine. Cheers to vines and pines!
