How to pick a good wine tour

  1. Count the wineries: three tastings in a day is comfortable; five turns into a rush.
  2. Check whether lunch is included. A long tasting on an empty stomach is the most common complaint.
  3. Small-group and private tours can change the route; big coach tours keep to a fixed schedule.
  4. Harvest season brings the most activity at wineries but also the busiest roads and cellar doors.
