Wine Farm Experience

Wine tours are educational experiences. Besides tasting wine, you'll tour the vineyards and walk the rows of the season's harvests.
 
Depending on the time of year, you may even be invited to pluck a few grapes and sample them straight from the vine. After returning from the vineyard, you'll head inside to visit the production area of the winery. Tours culminate in wine tasting.
 
A wine tour can last anywhere from an afternoon to two weeks.
 
Some people tour in cars, limos and vans -- others on bikes and even kayaks. And some vacationers even squeeze in a game of golf or a cooking class between tours. Most wineries are open to the public a large part of the year. If you live within driving distance, you can hop in the car and spend the afternoon touring the winery and come home that evening with a new addition for your wine cellar. If you're in the mood for a vacation, you can tour multiple wineries every day.
