Wine Tasting Experience Tips:

1. Make a Reservation

The process starts by calling your preferred winery, find out the days they are open to the public and make a reservation. If you are visiting the winery with friends, ask what group bookings entail as many wineries offer group discounts. Additionally, going with friends also improve your wine tasting experience. By calling in advance, you get to know the type of wine tasting the winery offers. First, is it formal or informal? In a formal tasting, you sit at a table and the host talks you through wine in a specific order. On the other hand, an informal tasting involves walking around tasting wine set around a room or cellar.

Do not limit yourself to wine you have tried before. Try wine that is unfamiliar to you or from a new region.
