Wine Tours

By Miles Tucker

Those who want to become experts in the field of wine tasting join wine tasting tours.

Many years ago, wine tasting tours were only for the elite members of the society. But now, the tours are already open even to ordinary individuals. So whether you're just interested in knowing the different kinds of wines or you're a born wine lover, you can join the wine tasting tours for as long as you like.

Since you're new in the wine tasting tours, you should be ready for the assorted activities. The tours are of two types. The experienced or so called "experts" are the ones who normally organize the first tour, the second is one you would normally arrange yourself.

Joining one of the experienced wine tasting groups would be recommended for a first timer. That way, you will have planned activities for each day. You should also take note of the different activities so that when it's finally time to do it on your own, you will know what to do.

A good place to start would be the Internet, there you can find lots of information on tours near you. You will need to make the necessary preparation for travel if the tour is out of town. Inform the organizers about your whereabouts and where you plan to meet with them.Make arrangement to meet the tour company at a place that is convenient. You have to be on time so that the group will not wait for you. The tour will normally last for one day as the vineyards are located in different area. Most tours visit more than one vineyard so have to set off early morning to have time to get round them all.

A tiny glass, usually between 4 - 6 ounces is given as a sampler. Taking 1 oz of wine is already enough to taste the wine and if you taste all the wines in the different vineyards you visit, it will surely add up. If you are driving make sure you don't drink too much, in fact the best way would be to not drive at all if you are testing so many wines.

You can organize your own tour but using a company to plan the itinerary can be less stressful therefore more enjoyable. The tour company will make all the arrangement and any other tasks needed to make your day memorable.
