Swirl, Sniff, and Slather On: Vinotherapy Spas in Europe

I love to spend at least some of my vacation time amongst the great vineyards of Europe, like those found in Bordeaux, Piemonte, and Rioja. Did you know that even if you don't imbibe, grapes from those vineyards could very well become part of your vacation experience?

Heard of Vinotherapy? It's therapy for your skin based on using the polyphenols extracted from grape seeds to fight all those free radicals that make you look all old and leathery. (And no, I don't know if it also fights encarcerated conservatives).

In any case, there are some pretty interesting spas hidden in those vineyards that pamper you with designer Vinotherapy, some of them housed in old monasteries and all featuring some pretty fine eats. Check out our list of the top Vinotherapy Spas in Europe.
