Tips to make your day more enjoyable
-Get a sober driver!!! Whether someone wants to come along for the ride and not drink or you pay someone, you need to be driven around if you are going to two or more wineries!
-Bring Cash
-Bring Food!! Some of the wineries let you bring outside food. There is outdoor seating and it makes the winery come to life if you bring food. I suggest to go to a specialty market. Get breads, italian meats, specialty cheeses, pesto, fruit, chocolate, crackers, olives, and anything else you feel you would want at a winery.
-At a minimum I would suggest eating something mid way through your wine tour. You will need it!!!
