Canada

A day without wine is like a day without sunshine, or so the saying goes. While Been there would never endorse binge drinking, we're certainly partial to the odd glass of something fizzy, fruity, sweet or dry. Plus, we're a travel site and wine tourism has certainly caught on in a way that beer never has. So uncork, sit back and send us your wine tips - where to buy it, where to see it made and, of course, where to drink it.

The Okanagan valley is at the centre of a booming Canadian wine industry. Yes, you read that correctly, the Canadian wine industry. Try the family run Mission Hill winery with its gorgeous architecture and even more gorgeous Pinot Grigio. Across the valley there's the fabulous Calona Vineyards, where you can enjoy the Shiraz and the Sauvignon Blanc complemented by paintings from local artists. Or the gob-smacking pyramid-aged icewines of the Summerhill winery. The tours are a great way to laze away an afternoon.
