Whether you are going to stop for a quick tipple while you are driving through the region or you decide to join the specialists in a wine tasting tour, a winery tour is always welcome and especially if you have a designated driver.
Although the tour experience will vary from one winery to the other, it is safe to state that, there are certain things which you should expect to encounter such as:
• The property: Your tour will follow the process of winemaking starting with an explanation about the harvest, selection of grapes, fermentation, the aging, and the bottling before tasting. One of the romantic parts about the winery tour is speculating the endless rows of vines with grapes that are waiting to be brought to maturity.
That is the beginning of the tour before you go inside the area of processing and finally to the cellar where you will be able to surround yourself with awesome wooden barrels and a lot of bottles arranged in rows.
• The history of the winery and the wine: During your visit, you will learn about the variety of grapes in the region and the way wine is produced. If you are going to several wineries that are located in the same region, you might find this part to be repetitive but with small variations.
The history of the winery normally falls on a family tradition, even when you visit the bigger winery, which remains the norm.
