Guidelines For Planning Baja Winery Tours

By Andrew Evans


Going for a winery tour is quite exciting to those who are planning this for the first time. You should consider some aspects to make such a trip exciting. You need to start making your plans early enough to ensure that everything goes as planned. Here are guidelines for planning Baja winery tours to think through.

Research about the places you will visit. Acquainting with specific aspects about the place you will visit helps in making your tour interesting enough. Start by checking their locations, whether they are new or old and restrictions that they have in place. You should consider visiting both new and old places to get varied experiences. You should also take note of their operating hours to plan your itinerary.

Beware of the time of year. The operations of a winery can change according to the season. Summers and spring are the peak seasons in most wineries while spring and winter are off-peak seasons. Plan your visit early enough if you intend to visit the wineries during the peak season due to high demands. However, the off-peak period is ideal for anyone who wants to get a personal experience.

Set the budget. Planning a budget helps in saving your expenses. Your budget should consider aspects such as the fuel cost, entrance fees and costs used to purchase different goods. Going for a trip as a group will help you save your expenses since everyone can contribute to the trip. Besides that, it makes everything if you intend to go together with your friends.

Make a plan. It is much easier to have a remarkable tour if you plan for the whole day. Your program should include aspects such as stops that you will make and the places you will visit as well. Do not visit more than three places in a day to make the excursion more interestingly. You can also get the best out of a particular location.

Consider hiring a designated driver. Wines can leave you tipsy if one participates in multiple wine tasting sessions. Besides that, most places have stringent restrictions in drinking laws, and you can quickly pay hefty fines if caught driving while drunk. Therefore, look for a driver with enough experience to guarantee your safety.

Know what to wear and carry along. Casual wear is acceptable in a winery excursion. Think of wearing jeans or shorts, a nice shirt or any other comfortable casual wear. You should also consider things to carry along to the tour. Bring extra cash with you to purchase wines and for the tasting fee. You can also carry empty boxes to carry the wines that you will buy.

Use the correct wine tasting process. You need to follow a particular wine tasting process. This procedure starts by holding a glass at its stem, raising it above your head and checking the color. You will then smell the wine, take a sip and swish it. Pause to feel the taste it has before swallowing the wine. Confirm whether the wine has spices such as raspberries, blackberries, chocolate or plums.
