Tips for Planning a Wine-Tasting Tour

Many wine enthusiasts travel to notable wine regions for tastings and tours. If you’re planning a wine tour, consider the following:

- Season

Wine regions in Europe and North America are best experienced during the summer, while vineyards in New Zealand and South Africa are at their peak from December to February.

- Tours vs. tastings

While many wineries offer both, tours usually educate visitors on the winemaking process by walking through the vineyard, while tastings are held in one specific dining room or outdoor area.

- Schedule

Hundreds of wineries may operate in a single wine region. Narrow your choices to a handful of wineries within a reasonable driving distance. To keep an enjoyable pace, schedule no more than two tours per day.
