Museo Torre del Vino in Socuéllamos, Spain

In Socuéllamos, you can climb a tower without ever leaving the world of wine. The Museo Torre del Vino occupies the town’s former railway station, but its most eye-catching feature is the improbable tower rising above it—a vertical tribute to the grape in the heart of La Mancha. Interactive displays and exhibitions make the subject considerably more entertaining than it sounds, while workshops involving aromas, wine painting, and, naturally, wine itself add a suitably convivial touch.
