Wine Travel & Song is an independent digital magazine exploring the overlap between music, place, and the rituals that shape how we experience them.

We publish considered writing on standout meals, distinctive hotels, and the records, bottles, and objects that stay with us. These are first-hand notes from places visited, tables shared, and moments worth returning to, often with a soundtrack close by.

Founded in 2016, WTS began as a personal record of favourite albums, far-flung hotels, and quiet obsessions. Over time, it grew into something more focused: a magazine for curious, style-led readers who value atmosphere as much as detail, and experience over instruction. We don’t attempt to cover everything. We cover what we know, and what we’ve lived.

Music, travel, and hospitality rarely exist in isolation. A record can anchor a city in memory. A hotel can carry the echo of a song or a studio session. A meal can become inseparable from the place it was shared. Wine Travel & Song sits in that space, where listening, travelling, and lingering overlap, and where culture is discovered not through lists or ratings, but through presence.
