What to expect
Your guide will collect you and drive through rolling vineyard country, stopping at three to four carefully chosen producers. Each visit includes time to chat with owners or winemakers about their craft, ask questions, and taste what they're producing. Between venues, you'll nibble on snacks and hear stories about the region's cool climate advantage and why it produces such distinctive wines. Expect a relaxed pace—this isn't a rushed tick-box experience. The tasting fees (around $10–20 per venue) aren't included, so budget for those separately. Bring cash or a card.
