Winery Hotels

A curated list of winery hotels and resorts around the world.

Hey folks 👋

This is my first real attempt at building something I actually care about. It started simple: I love wine, travel, and design. I was searching for winery hotels around the world — places where you can sip good wine, wake up in a vineyard, and experience wine culture beyond just a tasting room. But the info was scattered. No real directory, no clear place to explore them all.

So I built one.

This directory is a curated list of winery hotels, vineyard lodges, and wine-focused stays around the globe. It’s for wine lovers, travelers, and romantics who want more than just a bottle — they want the full experience.

Why I built it:

• Finding winery stays online was a mess.

• I wanted something clean, simple, and beautiful to browse.

• I want to help people (like myself) discover hidden gems and plan better wine getaways.

Key Features:

🍇 Curated list of winery hotels and vineyard stays worldwide

🔍 Filter by country, wine region, grape varieties, and more

📍 Explore locations on an interactive global map

📝 Detailed listings with property descriptions, photos, and links to book

❤️ Bookmark your favorites to plan the perfect wine trip

🌍 Browse by country with travel inspiration and regional wine info

💌 Free of charge — no paywalls, just passion

I add new winery hotels to the directory every week, and it’s just getting started. If you’re into travel, wine, or just nice ideas — I’d love your feedback, ideas, or just a little support.

This is version 0.1, and there’s a lot more to come.

Cheers,

Alex

    How I ruined my website's SEO in three simple steps:

    A year ago I built a list of winery hotels using a simple website builder. The website reached around 2k visitors a month and had growing impressions chart and indexed pages on Google Search Console.

    At this point I decided to turn the website into NextJS app in order to translate it in a booking platform. Here's what I did next.

    Step 1.
    While working on the new version I decided to change the path to my listings (nooo 🫨). On the initial version I had listed all the winery hotels under a "hotels" category, but building a new version I decided to change it to "wineries". Don't ask me, why

    Step 2.
    Then I decided to shorten descriptions for hotels and make them unified across all the hotels, and basically made them "not unique" and generic, "to make it easy to read for users".

    Step 3.
    I built the catalog with client-side JavaScript, which meant Google's crawler couldn't see the hotel links at all. Only 24 out of 300+ are visible for bots.

    In the end I got dramatic declining on impressions and clicks. It dropped 10 times from 2k-4k impressions and ~14 clicks a day, to ~250 impressions with 1-2 clicks, and ~70% crawled/not indexed pages.

    That's what happens, when you have no idea, how SEO works.

    How I try to solve it.

    1. About the path issue. I lost the momentum and the new path already crawled, so here I'm just waiting.

    2. I improved copy generating process and added more resources to crawl (directories, reviews and official website) to make descriptions more unique and rich.

    3. I kept the JS catalog, but added extra page with links to all the winery hotels with linking from the main page.

    4. Added breadcrumbs to make more internal links.

    5. Placed blog's articles on the main and countries/regions pages to make even more internal links

    6. Added countries/regions section to the main page to make more and more internal links.

    And now I'm waiting how it will show up in my GSC stats...

    Turns out SEO is less about tricks and more about not breaking the basics.
    Has anyone else survived an SEO self-sabotage? What worked for you?

    Watching session replays keeps helping me finding bugs, and getting more insights on how people use my platform, where they tend to pay their attention and what they see exploring the page.

    I spend about 30 minutes a week watching session replays. When you have an extended functionality, it's crucial in my opinion. Also, when you see the interface through "the user's monitor" you get more insights on what you need to improve in UX.

    But watching replays I'm thinking about improving existing features, and fixing bugs, not about implementing new once.

    Got my third booking. Time I spent on making this project starts to pay me back. Already covered my spendings on Vercel and got some extra money for a nice lunch in Mendoza =)

    But I'm building this list not just to gain winers badges. I really like everything related to wine, and I keep improving my platform. Recently I started implementing more accurate region filtering for winery hotels. It takes time, but for some regions, such as Argentina, France, and Spain you can filter winery hotels by wine regions.
