Wine tour gives you and your friends an opportunity to see beautiful wineries and grape fields, and you get to taste all new varieties of wine. The winery owners are very friendly and they answer all your question giving you samples of different types of wine for you to taste. As you plan for the wine tour, you need to remember a few things so that your tour will be enjoyable and memorable afterward, and you will learn about a few of them from this article. Below are some of the things you should know before you go for a wine tour.
Know what you will be wearing during the wine tour so that you can be comfortable. Take time to choose what to wear, so that you can move around the farm freely and visit different wineries without any discomfort from what you have worn.
Hire a car to drive around in and choose a designated driver who will not take the wine. Think about your safety after the wine tasting exercise and know you might be drunk than you expect, so it is wise for one of you to stay sober or you hire a driver so that they drive you back safely.
Choose to have wine tour during the time of the year when the winery owners are not too busy, so that you get a personal experience to talk to them. During the seasons when the wine is sold out in large numbers like summer and fall, the winery owners may not have time to talk to you, so plan to visit the winery during a season like winter.
Everyone has their taste and preference of the best wine they like, so know what you like so that you tour the wineries that make them. Choose a winery that will give you something you like, and you will have something you are familiar with to taste and buy, and other new varieties that you can taste to explore what you can buy next wine tour.
See how much the winery you want to tour charges for wine tasting so that you can plan to pay. Different wineries give wine samples to taste at a little cost, so ask before you move out to make sure they are affordable.
Buying wine at the winery can be irresistible but you should not feel pressured to buy, so carry a crate around so that in case you buy you will keep the bottles there.
If you will be bringing your kids along, make sure they have something to keep them busy as you taste the wine.
Eating before wine tasting will help you enjoy the wine tour as you take in different wine because wine and an empty stomach are really not friends.
