5 Great Online Wine Retailers That Deliver to Your Door

Buying booze online isn’t the headache it once was years ago, but having bottles delivered to your door remains an awkward experience in the age of Amazon — like surfing the capital-W Web on dial-up when the rest of the world is browsing with seamless fiber optic. The root of the problem lies in America’s three-tier system of alcohol distribution, and 50 complex, unique state laws that never quite align.

Still, buying wine online has without doubt improved significantly in recent times. An ever-increasing number of states now allow winemakers to sell directly to drinkers, and large-scale retailers such as Wine.com have found ways to service customers in almost all 50 states.

What may come as a surprise is: It’s not just big-box retailers and exclusively online platforms that offer such convenience. Many smaller brick-and-mortar stores have recreated the charm of neighborhood wine shops online, and ship bottles to consumers in almost every part of the country. While the major players gain from extensive selections, these retailers compete with carefully curated portfolios that highlight the preferences of their wine buyers and enforce the value of building relationships with neighborhood wine shops, IRL and online.

Between them, the five retailers listed below have almost every inch of the country covered in terms of delivery area. Many of them ship to more than 40 states on their own. But what really sets them apart is their focus, specialization, and dedication to providing wine lovers with the world’s best bottles — pandemic or not.

Bottlerocket

New York City

Discovery is the name of the game at NYCs Bottlerocket. While it’s not home to the largest inventory on this list, this store presents the most innovative form of navigation for online wine shopping.

Users can browse Bottlerocket’s collection by grape variety, region, and price point, or instead navigate custom-built collections that group wines by different food pairings and occasions. It’s like having an on-call somm — one who can conjure a list of 100 different options to pair with Chinese takeout at the click of a button.

Bottlerocket also emphasizes value and alternative packaging. The store’s canned wine selection is among the most extensive we have ever come across, but that doesn’t mean classic styles and regions have been overlooked. From Burgundy to Bordeaux and beyond, Bottlerocket has it covered.

With same-day delivery offered in NYC, and shipping to more than 40 states, this store is revolutionizing buying wine online.

Grand Cata

Washington, D.C.

In Spanish, cata means both “taste” and “tasting” — as in, una cata de vinos. It’s a choice name for this D.C. retailer whose mission is to offer a tour of Latin America through the glass, with its extensive collection of wines.

Co-founded and -owned by Pedro J. Rodríguez and Julio R. Robledo, the company operates two storefronts: one in Washington D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood; the other inside the contemporary Latin American market La Cosecha, in the city’s NoMa district.

Among the retailer’s 1,000-odd bottles are the types of wines that have come to define Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay: classic expressions of Malbec, Carménère, and Tannat. Then, there are those that promise to challenge preconceptions of South American wine, from once-forgotten, now-newly embraced Criolla Chica (Argentina) and País (Chile), to esoteric Peruvian white blends.

Brazilan brut rosé sparklers and Alvarinhos from across the Atlantic offer something for those who fala português, while bottles from Mexico, Italy, and Spain further push the geographical boundaries.

Few retailers in the U.S. can challenge Grand Cata’s dedication to raising the profile of Latin American wine stateside. While its shipping capability isn’t as broad as the other retailers on this list, those who can take advantage absolutely should.

Henry’s Wine & Spirit

Brooklyn

With a focus on organically farmed, minimal-intervention bottles, Henry’s Wine & Spirit is your archetypal Brooklyn neighborhood natural wine store. The neighborhood, in this instance, just happens to be the 40-plus states that it ships to nationwide.

The 1,000-strong bottle selection spans lesser-known regions (Mexico, Vermont) and highlights unconventional styles (still wine from Champagne?). With large-format bottles and a “rarities” section, the store has special occasions covered. And for those ordering from within New York State, there’s an esoteric selection of craft spirits also available for delivery.

Henry’s helps bring natural wine beyond the boundaries of major metro markets, and its selection will intrigue even the most well-versed wine drinkers. For up to date information on new arrivals and partnerships, keep an eye on the store’s Instagram account.

Liner & Elsen

Portland, Ore.

Portland, Ore.’s Liner & Elsen showcases the mystical “sense of place” of wine, with more than 2,000 terroir-driven bottles. The store focuses primarily on European regions, and ships food-friendly wines of balance, drive, and character to most states in the U.S.

In recent years, Liner & Elsen’s buyers have leaned heavily into the winemaking superstars of Spain and Portugal, Raul Perez and Luis Seabra. The growing selection captures one of the most exciting narratives in European wine right now: producers rediscovering old, abandoned vineyards and reclaiming the bounty of the ancient vines found within.

Liner & Elsen’s gaze stretches beyond the Iberian peninsula. The store’s German and Austrian selection is continually expanding, and there’s more than enough space in its cellar to offer the best wines from Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia, and Georgia. Once again, the common thread connecting the bottles from these nations, and those from the store’s Mexican, Argentine, and Chilean producers, is a tale of revitalized vineyards and a re-embracing of old-school winemaking techniques.

Millesima USA

New York City

Francophiles with a penchant for fine wine need look no further than Millesima. Headquartered in Bordeaux, the company’s flagship U.S. brick-and-mortar store opened in New York’s Upper East Side in 2006. This retailer calls on more than 40 years of experience delivering some of France’s finest wines direct to consumers’ doors, first through an accomplished European mail-order business and now as an international online retailer.

For U.S.-based drinkers, Millesima has all the major Bordeaux appellations locked down, with back vintages from the region’s finest producers offered in multiple sizes, from standard 750 milliliter to Nebuchadnezzar (15 liter). Outside of Bordeaux, there’s an equal focus on quality and prestige. Think: Domaine Leflaive from Burgundy, Sassicaia from Italy, Opus One from the U.S., and Egon Müller from Germany.

The store’s detail-orientated service befits the luxurious bottles on offer. Millesima contacts customers at least twice following purchases, confirming their order and arranging a delivery time to fit the customer’s schedule. For special occasions and holiday purchases, Millesima assists with inquiries for sourcing specific wines, and can arrange corporate gifting and personalized notes. The team has in-depth knowledge, extending beyond the store’s inventory to vintages and ideal drink dates. With 6,500 SKUs and counting, it’s an invaluable resource for high-end buying.

If my writing goes south, I know what to do. After 5 years of actively putting together my own itineraries, I think it’s safe to say I’m a pretty good travel (party, event, anything) planner. I get so many emails and DMs stating the following:

Hi Lesley! I have 7-10 days to spend in Argentina. Where should I go?!

Please use this as a guide to plan accordingly. Do you want mountains or city life or waterfalls or wine? SO MUCH is happening down south, so take a peek at all the options below. After living in Argentina for two years and now being a frequent visitor (and wannabe citizen), I’ve put together my favorite itineraries with LATAM Airlines – the only way to get down south!

.eic-frame-13069 { width: 1497px; height:1497px; background-color: border: 4px solid }.eic-frame-13069 .eic-image { border: 4px solid }

Much unlike Europe, South America isn’t too savvy with the rail system, which leaves planes and buses as the main means of transportation. If you do have a shorter time frame in South America, I urge you to A) extend it (you’ll thank yourself later) and B) never, ever take a long bus ride (you’ll curse yourself later).

International Travel

USA –> Buenos Aires

From anywhere in the U.S. and direct from Miami, flying LATAM Airlines to Buenos Aires was so comfortable. Traveling from LAX on the Dreamliner, I did a stopover in Santiago before flying into Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) in Buenos Aires. The food on board was better than a lot of restaurants I’ve been to ON LAND and honestly…I could’ve stayed in the sky hours longer with those lay flat seats and that Mendoza wine. Long-haul flights are my happy place

As far as the city of Buenos Aires goes, please check out my City Guide to Buenos Aires here full of hotels, restaurants, neighborhoods, bars, shopping and days trips. You’ll probably want at least 3 days here.

.eic-frame-13065 { width: 1194px; height:1492px; background-color: border: 4px solid }.eic-frame-13065 .eic-image { border: 4px solid }

Domestic Travel inside Argentina

Ain’t No Mountain High Enough

AEP –> FTE

The best thing about traveling domestically from Buenos Aires? Aeroparque Internacional Jorge Newbery airport is right inside my beloved Palermo neighborhood. It takes approx. 15 minutes or less to arrive at check-in where I get all the feels before boarding a plane south. El Calafate is the gateway to Argentine Patagonia where all the tourists (and twice myself now) have hiked the Perito Moreno glacier. It’s kind of a right of passage when you venture this far and while you’re here… absolutely rent a car and pay a visit to Fitz Roy in El Chalten (~3 hour drive from El Calafate). Where to stay? Look no further than Eolo, a place so nice I’ve stayed twice!

Now that I have you hooked on Argentine Patagonia, feel free to cross into Chilean Patagonia with Quasar Expeditions. My favorite road trip I’ve ever taken was on their curated 9 Day Overland Safari trip in one of their Jeeps. Stop at Tierra Patagonia for your new favorite hotel at the southernmost tip of the world…then you’ll really be in trouble (i.e. want to stay forever). I’m making plans to retire here for sure.

As for timing in Patagonia, this is hard to answer. I would make time for at least 2-3 days in El Calafate and the same amount of time in El Chalten. Crossing into Chile would take up another 4 days at the very minimum on your itinerary…but timing depends on SO much, mostly the kind of traveler you are and if you want to pack it all in. Honestly, I could spend a lifetime here and still have so much to see in a second life. To properly explore this massive region of the world, it takes a precious resource: TIME.

Drink, Drank, Drunk

AEP –> MDZ

Discover the Argentina Malbecs of Mendoza and treat your taste buds to some wine tasting while soaking up the view of the Andes. The first time I stepped foot in this South American wine country and sipped its fine Malbec, I was hooked, not to mention drunk in love with Mendoza. Besides the copious amounts of delectable vinos throughout the various regions, the views of the Andes aren’t too shabby either. After visiting the region five different times and all in different seasons, I’m a self proclaimed wine oenophile and snob. Find out more on what to sip, see and where to sleep You’ll want at least 3 days here to soak it all up!

Definitely Go Chasin’ Waterfalls

AEP –> IGR

You hear them before you see them. Hundreds of thousands of gallons of water per second rushing over one of the world’s most awe-inspiring attractions. Bordering the countries of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil, the Iguazú Falls are located where the Iguazú River tumbles over the Paraná plateau. I walked along both the Argentina side and Brazilian side. I saw the falls from a boat. Hands down, the coolest perspective is from the air via helicopter! I stayed at the Sheraton a few years back (or try the brand new Awasi hotel) on the Argentina side or the Belmond Hotel das Cataratas in Brazil. Both are mere feet from the falls. You’ll want 1-2 days here, depending how much you want to revel in all the water!

More –>

LATAM flies to many destinations inside Argentina and may I suggest the following: Salta for more wine (MmmMm Torrontes!), Bariloche (crazy beautiful scenery/hiking and yummy chocolate!), and Ushuaia where you can hang out with the penguins in the world’s southernmost city. If you have another week+ and bank account to spare, I’d hit Antarctica while you’re down there.

I get around a lot…meaning I fly a ton. I’m on an airplane it seems every other week, and I’ve done my fair share of research in the South America airline industry. The best in the game is LATAM Airlines, Latin America’s largest airline holding company based out of Santiago, Chile. Being a member of the oneworld alliance with more than 750 destinations in over 150 countries around the world pretty much puts them at the top of my Bookmark Bar. In my experience, the company excels in offering various flight times and destinations, modern planes, in-flight services/amenities, and the best wine list out there.

12 Best Places To Visit in January 2020

The Christmas holiday season is a whirlwind of visiting, shopping and partying. Once the rum and egg nog haze has lifted and you’ve come out of your turkey coma, it’s time to start thinking about somewhere to travel (detox?!) after the busy festive season. If you’re looking for the best places to visit in January, this list has you covered.

December is meant for getting together with friends and family, but after that, it’s time to find the best places to go in January so you can recoup and (if you’re from the northern hemisphere), take a break from the freezing cold weather.

There are numerous places to visit in January, but in this post I’ll list the top 12 for 2020 based on price and things to do. Plus, I’ll list a mix of beach destinations and winter holidays.

Time to book your trip for January!

1. Argentina

Why is this one of the best places to visit in January?

Weather is great

Costs are low in Argentina right now thanks to a recent currency drop

It’s hiking and fly fishing season

Having spent 3 months in Argentina in 2017, it’s safe to say that we know a few things about this incredible (and large) South American destination. Whether you’re into culture and history, nature and landscapes, lakes and fishing, or cities and wine, Argentina has something for you.

Since Argentina is such a vast country, with a wide variety of landscapes and regions, it can be visited year round. But, it’s one of the best places to travel in January if you’re looking to do some hiking and fly fishing.

The northwestern region (around Salta) might be a bit wet during this time, but the rest of the country is dry and warm.

Argentina is known for being one of the top fly fishing destinations in the world. If you’re an angler, you’ll be happy to know that fly fishing season in the Lake District of Patagonia is best in January & February due to the warm weather, and ability to fish all waters during this time.

There are some stunning lakeside and riverside lodges you can stay in. Don’t miss Correntoso Lake and River Hotel and Rio Hermoso Boutique Hotel.

For trekkers, January is a good time to lace up your boots and hit the mountains of Patagonia. El Chalten in the south is dry and has temperatures around 20°C (68°F), perfect for checking out the peaks of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre, exploring waterfalls, drinking beer on patios and much more.

Don’t miss nearby El Calafate and its popular Perito Moreno Glacier, which calves massive chunks of ice every few minutes! Although January is high season at Perito Moreno Glacier, you can avoid the crowds by visiting before 9:30am or after 5:00pm – take the later shuttle bus, or rent a car to explore at your own pace.

El Chalten is a great place to hike in Argentina

While you’ll miss the grape harvesting in Mendoza (it happens in February), January is still a great time to visit because the vineyards are green and the grapes are everywhere. Be prepared for hot temperatures (30°C / 80°F+), fantastic wines, great hiking around Parque Provincial Aconcagua (2 hours from Mendoza), picturesque parks and plazas, and some awesome restaurants. There are many things to do in Mendoza to keep you busy.

If all of these places to visit in Argentina aren’t enough to spark your interest, maybe the cost will.

When we travelled to Argentina in 2017, this was the rate: $1 USD = 18 Argentine Pesos

In September 2018, the rate was $1 USD = 41 Argentine Pesos.

In September 2019, the rate is $1 USD = 56.50 Argentine Pesos.

In November 2019, the rate is $1 USD = 59.68 Argentine Pesos.

This drop in currency means that travelling to Argentina would cost you a third of what it cost us in 2017! Rooms that were priced at $150 a night, now cost $50. Fantastic dinners of rib eye steaks and Malbec wine which cost us $50 for two people, now go for just $17.

Argentina isn’t known for being one of the cheapest countries to visit, but with the current instability of the peso, you can definitely save some money by visiting now and help out the local economy along the way.

Looking for accommodation in Argentina? Check out Booking.com and Airbnb for the best room rates (don’t forget your Airbnb coupon code). We personally use these two booking engines for all of our stays and highly recommend them.

2. Sri Lanka

Why is this one of the best places to visit in January?

Great weather

Affordability

Numerous Historical Sites

This teardrop-shaped island located off the southeast coast of India is often overlooked by travellers. If you’re searching for the best places to visit in January that offer national parks, wildlife spotting, pristine beaches, fantastic cuisine, ancient sites and friendly locals, then make sure you add Sri Lanka to your holiday list. As a bonus, this country is very affordable.

Since the average temperature in January is around 30°C (86°F), you’ll want to hit up the coast! Don’t miss the stunning Unawatuna beach, with its calm water and numerous accommodation options. Just 15 minutes away, the nearby fortified town of Galle is an amazing spot to sit and watch sunset from the UNESCO listed fort walls.

Sri Lanka may be small, but it has a lot to offer travellers

If you’re into surfing, check out the breaks at Hikkadua on the south coast of Sri Lanka. Even if you’re not a surfer, this chilled out beach town offers bars, restaurants and some safe swimming spots as well.

If you’re in search of the best places to travel in January that offer historical sites, you’ll be happy to know that Sri Lanka has those in spades.

Check out Anuradhapura (where Buddhism was first introduced to the country), Sigiriya (rock fortress towering 200m above the trees below), Cave Temples of Dambulla (built in the 1st century BC, and filled with over 100 Buddha statues) and the city of Kandy (an important Buddhist city, home to Buddha’s tooth).

For a pretty mountain village, don’t miss Ella and the surrounding tea plantations and hiking opportunities, including Little Adam’s Peak.

For such a small country, Sri Lanka really does have a lot to offer travellers. And, with an average travel cost of around $30-$50 per day, per person, you really can’t go wrong.

Looking for accommodation in Sri Lanka? Check out Booking.com and Airbnb for the best room rates (don’t forget your Airbnb coupon code). These are the two platforms that we always use for booking rooms and highly recommend them.

Looking for flights to these top places to travel in January? Check out websites like JustFly to compare flights from numerous airlines. I found a return flight from New York to Colombo, Sri Lanka for just $627. If you have any questions or issues with booking, JustFly has a great support team that you can actually call to ask for help.

3. Mexico (one of the best places to visit in January for North Americans)

Why is this one of the best places to visit in January?

Great Weather

Whale Watching Season

Proximity to North America

Costs

There are endless amazing places to visit in Mexico, and there’s really no bad time to travel here. Since this is such a large country, the climate varies depending on where you are, and which time of year you plan to visit.

Guanajuato is one of the prettiest cities in Mexico

Hurricane season runs from June to November and the cities at elevation can be cold during the winter months (November – February). But, for the most part, Mexico is a great place to visit in January if you’re looking for warm beach weather (good news if you’re from the northern hemisphere!).

Having spent over 6 months travelling through Mexico, on numerous different occasions, we rate Mexico as one of our favourite countries. This is a place where you can dine on one of the world’s best cuisines, visit a Wonder Of The World, swim in pristine water and explore Spanish colonial towns…all while not breaking the bank.

Venture away from the typical, 1-week all-inclusive holiday and explore the real Mexico. Trust me, the food and the experiences you have will be far more memorable.

If it’s cities and towns you’re after in January, places like Mexico City and San Cristobal de las Casas will be quite chilly. But, you can enjoy all of the things to do in Oaxaca City, including a visit to the impressive Monte Alban ruins, or check out the colourful towns of San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato, both of which have comfortable temperatures at around 21°C (70°F).

For people from Canada, the United States and Europe, what really makes Mexico one of the top places to visit in January is the beaches!

Don’t miss Puerto Escondido or Huatulco in the State of Oaxaca. In the Riviera Nayarit, check out San Pancho, Sayulita, Bucerias and all of the beaches and other awesome things to do in Puerto Vallarta.

The sunsets in Puerto Vallarta are spectacular

Further north, explore the Baja peninsula including Cabo San Lucas and La Paz (January is the best time for whale watching.)

If you’re planning on spending time in the Yucatan, check out the powdery sands of Isla Holbox, Isla Mujeres, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and Cancun. At around 28°C (82°F), it’s definitely beach weather in the Yucatan!

On top of the fantastic beaches and pretty towns, the food in Mexico is one of the best. In fact, it’s listed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Try the various regional dishes, the street food and of course, the drinks. Going on a food tour is one of the best things to do in Mexico.

On the budget end, expect to spend around $40 / day. For Midrange, $60+.

Looking for accommodation in Mexico? Check out Booking.com and Airbnb for the best room rates (don’t forget your Airbnb coupon code). These are the two platforms that we always use for booking rooms and highly recommend them.

4. Chicago, Illinois

Why is this one of the best places to visit in January?

Numerous Festivals

New Year’s Eve Party

Winter Wonderland

Lower Costs

Since the USA is so large and diverse, I had to break it down and list just a city, rather than a whole country. And, when it comes to American cities, Chicago is a top choice!

There are so many fun things to do in Chicago to keep you busy for a week, or more. Since the city experiences cold winters (lows of -6 ° celcius), you’ll need to bundle up to visit, but it’s still a great place to visit in January.

During the high season (June – September), you can expect clear skies and warm temperatures…but with that comes many tourists and high room costs. When it comes to accommodation in Chicago, even if you book on Airbnb, it’s a pretty expensive city (don’t forget to claim a free $55 Air bnb coupon).

Luckily, if you visit in January, you can expect huge discounts on hotels. Occupancy is low in the winter months, meaning that hotels offer big drops in room rates – even the luxury accommodation is on special. Expect discounts of around 50% off.

Chicago is enjoyed year-round, but expect discounts and awesome events in January

Not only will you spend less on your room, but you’ll be able to avoid the crowds at the popular sights (museums, observation decks and art galleries – all of which are inside!), and enjoy one of the many festivals and events happening in January.

If you can make it to Chicago for New Year’s Eve, you’ll be able to experience an epic firework show, parties at numerous hotel bars and restaurants, and the Chicago Resolution Gala at the Navy Pier. There’s a free firework show over the lakefront and riverside, which will be choreographed and synchronized to music. Click here to learn more about New Year’s Eve in Chicago.

With numerous places to eat in Chicago, you’ll never go hungry. The city is known for its culinary delights, diverse cuisines, and Michelin starred restaurants. Brunch is a favourite of Chicagoans, and you must try the deep-dish pizza, hot dogs, popcorn and other Chicago snacks.

For those who like a cocktail or two, you can still enjoy some of the best bars in Chicago along the riverwalk. It might be cold outside, but see-through domes are erected to cover the tables and heaters are placed inside. Magical!

For foodies, you’ll be happy to know that January is Restaurant Week in Chicago. That’s right, you might have to brave the cold weather, but in return, you get to experience the city’s biggest restaurant event of the year. Click here to learn more about the festival.

For sports fans, check out a Chicago Blackhawks hockey game, or a meet-and-greet and autograph signing with some of the Cubs players at the Cubs Convention (only in January).

Bundle up and enjoy Chicago in January.

You must try the deep dish pizza in Chicago!

Looking for accommodation in Chicago? Check out Booking.com and Airbnb for the best room rates (don’t forget your Airbnb coupon code). These are the two platforms that we always use for booking rooms and highly recommend them.

5. Greece

Why is this one of the best places to visit in January?

Have the ancient sites to yourself

Mingle with Greeks, rather than tourists

Affordability

Greece is a destination that you could return to again and again. It’s most known for its ancient sites, such as the Acropolis in Athens, and its stunning archipelagos, but there’s much more to see and do in this European nation.

If you’re looking to laze on the best beaches in Greece, with cocktail in hand, January isn’t the time to do so. But, if you’re interested in having the awe-inspiring historical sites to yourself, enjoying the local vibe in Athens, wandering around popular islands without the hordes, and doing some skiing, then January is a great month to visit.

We’ve always visited Greece in the shoulder/off-season and while it’s a bit chilly, we love exploring without the crowds.

The summer months in Greece can be unbearable due to the amount of tourists – both foreign and local – cramming together on the beach and trying to find space at the popular sites. Why not visit in January and have the place to yourself?!

Greece in the winter can be beautiful

Athens is a very comfortable temperature (around 10 °C / 50°F) during January, and the city doesn’t see much rain this month either. Walking around Athens is a great way to experience the city, and during January you won’t overheat and you’ll be able to have genuine encounters with the locals you meet along the way.

The Acropolis with the impressive Parthenon is the top site in all of Greece. If you put it on your list of places to visit in January, you’ll be able to enjoy the site in a relaxed atmosphere.

For those who simply must visit an island when travelling to Greece, a good bet in January is Santorini or Crete — both still have things going on in the winter months. However, on Santorini you won’t want to stay in the popular Oia town, but rather, choose to stay in the capital of Fira. The island isn’t dead during January, but many restaurants and bars outside of Fira shut down for the winter months.

In January you can enjoy all of the usual top things to do in Santorini, except for swimming and tanning. You will have pleasant, sunny days (15 °C / 59°F) and can enjoy sightseeing without the masses of tourists.

Hike the caldera path which runs between Fira and Oia, enjoy sampling various wines, hike around the volcano, see the ancient Akrotiri village which is now in ruins, hike the path behind Perissa to see Thera (the ancient capital), or simply enjoy a peaceful dinner with a view!

On the island of Crete, you’ll want to stay in either Heraklion, Chania, or Rethymnon, as there is a large local population here. Even though it’s chilly (16 °C), local life still moves along. Enjoy wine tastings, beachside picnics, cafe culture, and the ruins of Knossos. Try ski mountaineering, winter hiking or simply wandering around the towns.

Hotel prices in January are significantly reduced in Greece and you can enjoy having a more authentic experience.

Bundle up and enjoy Santorini in the winter – without the crowds

6. Barbados

Why is this one of the best places to visit in January?

Warm weather

Stunning beaches

Festivals & Events

If it’s crystal clear, turquoise water and blindingly white sand beaches you crave, Barbados is a top choice when thinking about the best places to travel in January.

Spend your days lazing on the incredibly calm Carlisle Bay (one of the best beaches in the Caribbean), which is close to Bridgetown. Browne’s Beach here offers pristine swimming options, a couple of beach bars (check out Cuz’s fish cutters) and lounge chairs with umbrellas for rent.

Harbour Lights is a popular nightclub / bar, which is also located on Carlisle Bay. If you’re in Barbados for New Year’s Eve, this is a fun spot to party, complete with Carnival dancers, calypso music, rum drinks and fireworks on the beach.

Other must-visit beaches are Rockley / Accra Beach (don’t miss the boardwalk), Dover Beach, Mullin’s Bay and Paynes Bay. The best beaches in Barbados for swimming are located on the south and western side of the island, the east is much wilder and is great for (pro) surfing.

There are numerous things to do in Barbados to keep you busy. After you’re done lazing on stunning beaches, head to Oistin’s Fish Fry on Friday nights, go for a Hash (hike) one of the many trails, join a rum tour, or simply chill out at a funky beach bar with Banks Beer in hand.

In January, you can enjoy Open Homes, Jazz Festivals, Barbados Sailing Week and the Barbados Independent Film Festival.

Bajans are friendly, the food – both international and local – is amazing, sunsets are stunning and the beaches are out of this world. Barbados is definitely a top pick for the best places to visit in January.

If you’re from Canada or the USA, you can find many direct flights to Barbados. From Toronto, non-stop return flights with West Jet are just $500 and from New York, Jet Blue operates non-stop flights at around $400 return.

Barbados is in the hurricane belt, with the season running from June – November, and while you’re not guaranteed to see zero rain during the month of January, devastating storms are very unlikely.

For accommodation in Barbados, check out Booking.com and Airbnb for the best deals.

7. Whistler, B.C. Canada

Why is this one of the best places to visit in January?

Skiing and Snowboarding

Quieter Ski Hill

Events at the Village

You’ve probably heard of Whistler, it’s where the 2010 Winter Olympics were held. If you’re into skiing or snowboarding, you’ll want to hit up Whistler and Blackcomb in January. Why? Because for a week after the holidays, it’s one of the quietest times of year at the hill.

The mountains of Whistler and Blackcomb are located right next to each other and offer 200+ trails, with runs for all levels, plus one of the largest networks of chair lifts anywhere in the world. The village is an amazing place to chill out and enjoy some fine dining, with twinkling lights in the evening.

In January, there are numerous events up at the hill as well. Check out the free fire & ice show, king of the rail, Pride and Ski Festival, and lots of racing events. Book a lodge, get a lift ticket and enjoy Whistler and Blackcomb. Click here for more about Whistler Blackcomb.

Bonus: take a 1.5 hour drive over to Vancouver and check out the events on offer. Free ice skating and polar bear swims, or light shows and hockey games…there’s something for everyone in Vancouver in January. Click here for more.

8. Tanzania

Why is this one of the best places to visit in January?

Safaris

Beach Weather
