Wine tourism, an integral component of the global tourism industry, has witnessed significant evolution with the advent of social media platforms. As consumers increasingly turn to online platforms for travel inspiration and information, the role of social media in promoting wine tourism has become paramount. The Indian and European markets, though distinct in their cultural and historical contexts, both present intriguing case studies in this realm. Europe, with its rich wine heritage and established wine routes, offers a contrast to the burgeoning wine tourism sector in India, which is still in its nascent stages (Smith, 2023). The European wine industry has long been a global leader, with regions like Bordeaux, Tuscany, and Rioja attracting millions of oenophiles annually (Johnson & Robinson, 2022). On the other hand, India, traditionally not known for its wine culture, has seen a recent surge in wine tourism, especially in regions like Nashik, often dubbed as the 'Napa Valley of India' (Kumar, 2023). This comparative study aims to delve into the impact of social media promotion on wine tourism in these two distinct markets. By examining the strategies, outcomes, and consumer responses in both regions, this research will provide insights into the evolving dynamics of wine tourism promoti on in the digital age.
