Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: March 2026
FTC Disclosure Notice
Wine Travel Guides participates in affiliate marketing programmes. Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click on one of these links and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is a material connection between Wine Travel Guides and these advertisers as defined by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
1. What This Means for You
Some pages on Wine Travel Guides contain affiliate links — these are clearly labelled where possible. When you click an affiliate link and complete a booking or purchase, we receive a small commission from the partner. This comes at no extra cost to you. You pay exactly the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the provider.
These commissions help us keep Wine Travel Guides free, cover the costs of research and travel, and continue producing high-quality wine travel content.
2. Our Affiliate Partners
We work with (or intend to work with) the following affiliate programmes:
| Partner | Category | What We Earn |
|---|---|---|
| Booking.com | Accommodation | Commission on completed hotel or property bookings |
| Viator | Tours & Experiences | Commission on booked wine tours and experiences |
| GetYourGuide | Tours & Experiences | Commission on booked wine tours and activities |
Note: Not all affiliate partnerships are fully active. Some links may be placeholder or not yet generating commissions.
3. Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We only recommend places, tours, and products that we genuinely believe are worth your time and money. We do not accept payment to feature specific properties or tours, and we do not alter reviews or rankings based on affiliate commissions.
If we would not recommend something to a friend planning a wine trip, we will not recommend it here. The integrity of our recommendations is the foundation of this site.
4. How to Identify Affiliate Links
Where practical, affiliate links on Wine Travel Guides are accompanied by a note such as “affiliate link” or “we may earn a commission.” Links to external booking platforms (Booking.com, Viator, GetYourGuide) should be treated as potential affiliate links regardless of whether they are individually labelled.
5. Third-Party Websites
When you click through to a partner's website, you leave Wine Travel Guides and enter a site governed by that partner's own privacy policy and terms. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any sites you visit before making a booking.
6. Questions
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how we select our recommendations, please contact us.
