## Caption

As a certified sommelier, Pamela Vachon has had the privilege of traveling all over — from the Loire Valley to the hills of Chianti — to experience some of the world's most iconic wines right at their source.

Some of her favorite wine spots in Europe, though, have been a little more under the radar. She loves nothing more than heading somewhere for a beach, mountain, or cultural visit, and stumbling upon a robust local winemaking scene.

Not only does she always feel like she's discovered something rare, but these visits have often turned into more low-key, authentic, and dedicated wine experiences. 

See her four favorite small and mighty or hidden-gem wine regions to visit across Europe at the link in our bio.
