How to pick a good wine tour
- Count the wineries: three tastings in a day is comfortable; five turns into a rush.

- Small-group and private tours can change the route; big coach tours keep to a fixed schedule.
- Harvest season brings the most activity at wineries but also the busiest roads and cellar doors.
