How long does a wine tour take?

You'll want to add a half. How many wineries should I visit each day? That's one of the most common questions we receive from California Winery Advisor readers. This is often followed by the question: how much time should I plan to spend in each winery?. Obviously, these questions are closely related.

And while they're not that difficult to answer, there are a few factors you'll need to consider when applying our general answers to your specific wine tasting trip. This is a crucial part of your planning. If you plan to spit, you can visit many more wineries in one day. We have comfortably visited 7 to 8 wineries in one day, carefully planning the distances, pre-selecting some wines that we really wanted to try in each winery and spit after each tasting.

This is a great way to do that if you are in a wine country to find wines that you would like to buy. Your senses will stay sharp throughout the day. You can appreciate every wine until the last day. If you plan to swallow the wine, you should reduce the number of wineries you plan to visit every day.

Each winery you visit will serve you between 4 and 6 glasses of one-ounce wine to taste. Standard wine served in a restaurant is 5 ounces. That means that each stop is the equivalent of a glass of wine if you don't spit anything out. You should consider how many glasses of wine you are comfortable drinking in a typical setting.

If a glass of wine makes you feel drunk at home, you're going to feel the same way in the cellars. Nothing ruins a good wine tasting day more than drinking too much. Your tolerance to alcohol is one of the key factors in deciding how many wineries to visit in a day. Is there a tour, pairing or educational part of the wine tasting? More and more wineries are adding features to the wine tasting experience.

The days of walking to the tasting room bar and having a simple pour are being replaced by seated tastings that are booked in advance. These tastings also include some basic education about wine and will often include a pairing option. The added formality can improve your experience, but it also adds a lot of time to each visit. For these types of tastings, you should expect to spend at least an hour.

If there is a tour included, you can expect to spend more than an hour. Driving under the influence of alcohol is illegal and the consequences are not pretty. For your safety and that of the people around you, look for a driver or designate someone in your group. You can also find wine tasting areas that you can walk to.

Find a hotel near one of these areas and leave your car parked for the weekend. If you are interested in doing a commercial photo shoot, or filming, please contact our Media Department.
