A journey into the world of port
Douro
Our 2025 trip took us to the Douro to explore port and its producers. One part of a Portuguese journey shaped by our shared interest in wine.
Daan & Joy · Our wine journeys
Before the websites,
there were the visits.
100+wineries visited over the years
And still exploring. Wine is a personal interest we keep making room for, beyond the work we do.
A personal connection
Not just an industry.
A world we love.
Over the years, we have visited more than a hundred wineries. Our interest in the places, people and wines is part of what brought The Digital Vineyard to life.
These are personal travels, not client projects. Here is a selection of the regions we have explored recently, and where we plan to go next.

A few chapters
from our travels.
2025
Portugal
From port to sparkling wine.
A sparkling side of Portugal
Bairrada
We also visited Bairrada, with Portuguese sparkling wine as the focus. A different region and another reason to keep exploring.
2024
Italy
Two regions. Two different expressions.
Following our love of sparkling wine
Franciacorta
Franciacorta was part of our Italian travels in 2024. We went to explore the region and its sparkling wines.
Time in the Langhe
Barolo
The Barolo area was another stop on that journey. A place we wanted to experience beyond the names on the bottles.
The journeys are ours. The landscape images are AI-generated regional illustrations, not photographs of our visits or specific estates. We will replace them with our own travel photographs.
The people behind the studio
A shared interest.
A personal approach.
We are Daan and Joy, based in the Netherlands. The Digital Vineyard brings together digital craft and our love of the world of wine.
