Discover the Ultimate Wine Lover’s Road Trip with Harvest Hosts
So, diving into adulthood, your girl is beginning to long for life on the move, or at least an epic road trip. Yep, talking about hitting the road with an RV or a tiny home on wheels. Why? Because it screams freedom and adventure, and let’s be real, being stuck in one spot is so 2020 (IYKYK.)
Now, get this: while daydreaming about my nomad future, I stumbled across this wild trend that’s like a match made in heaven for wine lovers and road warriors. Picture this: vineyards across the States rolling out the welcome mat for RVers. Just in time for National Wine Day on May 25th, because, of course, there’s a day for that, and I’m completely here for it.
Enter Harvest Hosts, the MVPs making this magic happen. They’ve built this fab network hooking up RV travelers with over 5,000 cool spots like vineyards, farms, drive in theaters, and even golf courses. So instead of crashing in a Walmart lot (yawn), you can kick back in a vineyard, sipping wine and living your best life. And all it takes is a $99 annual fee. Talk about VIP access! I’m convinced that this is the way Beyonce road trips with the fam!
Here’s the deal: you roll up, buy something to show some love for the local biz, and boom, you’ve got a scenic spot to crash for the night. This setup is a win-win: RVers get a unique pit stop, and local spots rake in some extra dough, which, by the way, averages to about $15,000 more a year. And the best part? The small businesses don’t pay a dime to be part of the action.
Joel Holland, the CEO at Harvest Hosts, spills the tea on how this has been a game-changer, especially for the vineyards. It’s not just about the novelty—it’s been a lifeline for them, keeping the dream alive through thick and thin.
The RV-meets-agritourism vibe is basically reinventing the travel game. It’s all about hitting the road, supporting local gems, and, let’s not forget, enjoying some delicious wine along the way. Personally I could spend an entire summer posted up at Duplin Winery, sippin’ on Gimme Sum Suga Sweet Muscadine Wine. For those of us who live for a good adventure and a great glass of wine, this is the kind of story that gets us hype about National Wine Day.
Looking back, it’s clear this wanderlust is more than just skipping town for a bit. It’s about connecting, exploring the incredible diversity of the American landscape, and giving back to the communities that make it unique. Parking your RV among the vines under a starlit sky? That’s the dream, my luvs. And it’s all about living a life that’s a bit more adventurous and a whole lot more engaged.
