Prince Edward County, Canada
One of the wine world’s best-kept secrets is found not in Napa Valley, California, or Bordeaux, France, but in Canada, on the shores of Lake Ontario. There, the stellar wines of Prince Edward County can be sampled in the tourist-free tasting rooms of 30-plus wine estates. Make stops at Hubbs Creek Vineyard to taste the pinot, Hinterland Wine Company for sparkling wines and Norman Hardie Winery and Vineyard for chardonnay. Pick up one of your new favorite local bottles of wine and enjoy it after a sunset hike on one of the three spacious, sandy beaches in Sandbanks Provincial Park on Lake Ontario.
La Paz, Bolivia
There aren’t many places that combine vibrant urban energy (stylish boutiques, funky art galleries and seriously good restaurants) with some of the most otherworldly landscapes on the planet. An hour flight out puts you at one of the most surreal spots you’ll ever see—Salar de Uyuni, a salt flat that stretches into infinity (more than 4,000 square miles). And just 20 minutes from downtown is Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon), where centuries of wind have eroded the mountains into a maze of beautiful jagged peaks, spires and canyons.
Garden Route, South Africa
Rather than travel inland for a traditional safari, head to the coast to experience the Marine Big Five: whales, sharks, dolphins, seals and penguins. The Garden Route, one of the world’s most scenic drives, spans 125 miles between Mossel Bay and Port Elizabeth, and it’s easy to tack on a stay in dynamic Cape Town. Take advantage of a local stable and explore the Cape Floral Kingdom on horseback. Play your cards right and a sunset ride can end with a champagne picnic on the beach. If that sounds too tame, there’s always cage diving with sharks.
Each destination is truly gorgeous in its own right! Have the most amazing experience at any of these unexpected places and devour the details of a picture perfect honeymoon!
