Whenever you are spending a cosy evening with your family accompanied by a glass of the finest wine, don't you ever wish to visit the place that produces such marvels? Well, almost all of us have it on our bucket list to be a part of wine tours that allow visitors to taste their creations freshly prepared and bottled. It is an adventure for several especially for those who love to pay such frequent visits and enjoy the authentic flavours of nature.
Most wineries are known to keep their doors open to the common people where they serve freshly prepared wines that are graded according to the quality of the grapes and its manufacturing process. Being a part of a wine tour is not just an enriching experience, you are likely to receive a lot from every trip that you make in all aspects right from having an experience in watching how they make the wines that we drink and how it actually tastes when it is freshly prepared. While you make yourself a part of such tours, here are a few tips that could make the trip worthwhile.
Always opt for prior reservations
Not all wineries are known to be welcoming people over to their premises randomly. They often appreciate prior reservations that include the details of the number of people arriving and the time that they intend to stay there. This allows them to make necessary arrangements and accordingly welcome the guests over. There are times when they want you to specifically mention your itinerary that would enable them to arrange for an extra workforce to attend to your needs.
Hold the glass well
Experts often advise people intending to be a part of wine tours to hold the glass well before they taste it. When they serve you freshly prepared wine, it is likely to be in the room temperature, and it would taste best as when aerated well. Holding the glass at the stem and swirling it would aerate it well. Holding it at the base would transfer heat from the hand which may not give you the right flavour.
Wear cool clothes
As you are likely to stay outdoors most of the time visiting the vineyard and checking on the grapes that are to move in for wine production, it is best advised for you to wear breezy clothes that aren't dark coloured. This would allow you to manage to stay outdoors for long. Even if you are addicted to using deodorants and perfumes, ensure that it isn't strong on the nose as you may not be able to taste the wine with the fragrance overpowering your sense of taste.
Purchase moderately
If you intend to take home a few bottles of the wine that you have just tasted, you could consider making moderate purchases. Keep in mind the process in which you would be taking the bottles along with you in a way not to break them while on your way. If you have visited a different country and are a part of the tours, you could ask the authorities to deliver them to your address and ensure that it would reach you safely when you get back home.
