"Most are European, but two places in North America do make the list: the Finger Lakes in New York and Valle de Guadalupe in Mexico. The latter is reachable via a short plane trip (or long day's drive) from the Bay Area and feels to me a lot like what I assume Napa felt like in the 1960s and '70s, a sommelier explained. Creativity and experimentation are through the roof."
"And why Upstate New York? A wine director told the magazine: The Finger Lakes is a center for research on climate change, hybrid varieties and clonal selection, and getting to experience it all first-hand is both educational and highly enjoyable.

Beverage directors at award-winning U.S. restaurants nominated favorite wine-centric excursions, producing a list of ten wine-country travel destinations for 2025. Most destinations are European, with two North American entries: the Finger Lakes in New York and Valle de Guadalupe in Mexico. Valle de Guadalupe is reachable from the Bay Area by a short plane trip or a long day's drive and is characterized by intense creativity and experimentation, often compared to Napa in the 1960s and '70s. The Finger Lakes operates as a center for research on climate change, hybrid grape varieties, and clonal selection, offering educational and enjoyable first-hand experiences.
