From vineyard to campsite
Have you ever heard of sleeping in a wine barrel? That’s right! The concept is simple yet ingenious: old wine barrels are creatively repurposed as campsite accommodations. Many of these barrels even have a history. Before becoming unique lodgings, they were used in wine production—specifically for storing and fermenting wine.
Enjoying the experience (with or without wine)
You don’t have to be a wine lover to stay in a wine barrel, but it certainly adds to the experience. Picture yourself sitting outside with a glass in hand, soaking up the peaceful surroundings. Read that book you never have time for at home, or simply unwind after a day of exploring.
What about comfort?
Despite their compact appearance, most wine barrels are surprisingly spacious inside and come with essential amenities. The interiors often feature a bed, lighting, and a seating area. Some luxury versions even include a private toilet or small bathroom. You might wonder if a cylindrical space is comfortable to stay in. The answer is: absolutely! The flat floor ensures easy movement, while the barrel’s curved shape provides a cosy, enclosed feeling that many find especially inviting.
A sustainable choice
Converting a wine barrel into an accommodation is also a great example of sustainability. Instead of being discarded, the wood is given a second life on the campsite. So, staying in a wine barrel isn’t just a unique experience—it’s also an eco-friendly one!
