Planning a winery visit

Start with the official site: an estate address is not a promise of tours. Ask whether booking is required, what the experience covers, and whether tasting and vineyard visits are separate.

Specify language, group size and accessibility needs. Check cancellation terms and the meeting point in your confirmation rather than an old directory listing.

Prepare three questions: which site or origin, which blend, and which maturation? Record wine name and vintage to identify the exact bottle later.

Arrange return transport before tasting. Plan water and a way to spit; comparing wines does not require finishing each glass.
