6 Ways to Get The Most Out of Your Wine Tour
Taking a wine tour in the Santa Ynez area is unlike many other tours. Getting the most out of your wine tour requires some preparation and planning. Here are a few ways to get the most out of your wine tour.
Have a plan
It’s easy to think that just “winging it” will be fine for a relaxing day of wine touring. However, this isn’t advisable. It is best to know which wineries you want to go to, how long each wine tour will take, and when you will have time to eat. If you aren’t sure how to plan, we at Silk Road Transportation and Wine Tours offer chauffered wine tours
Dress for the event
Instead of wearing that new pretty, bright white dress, opt for wearing darker colors without big frills and sleeves. Not only are spills easily hidden, but avoiding big sleeves and the like will keep you from spilling the vino!
Eat something
Even if you plan on spitting out most of the wine you are tasting, you still want to make sure that you have enough food to get you through the day of touring. Eat before you begin tasting and be sure to make time for lunch.
Leave the perfume in your hotel room
Whenever you’re going to a fancy event such as wine tasting, its second nature to spritz on a little perfume. We recommend that you don’t! Wine tasting is all about just that—tasting—and part of the sense of taste is smell. So, to get the full experience and taste all the nuances of each wine, leave your perfume at home.
Take notes
You won’t need to show up with a pen and pad of paper, but you should take notes. Make mental notes or take pictures of your favorite wines and type of wines so you can take some home with you or so you can learn more about which wine you like.
Have fun
Wine tasting and touring can be education, but it is also supposed to be fun; winemaking and tasting is all about enjoying the fullness of life. So, make sure to have fun enjoying time with your guests and the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of wine country.
