Visiting a winery is supposed to be a fun and pleasant experience, but it’s never fun when one person ruins it for everyone else. If you’re just about to go to a winery for the very first time, here are some basic rules you should follow.
Should You Spit?
Yes, you should spit some of the wine you taste. That’s how you won’t get drunk after a few glasses and before you even get to try everything. Be smart and save yourself for the wine(s) you like the best.
No Perfume
You may not even think about this, but now you know: don’t wear any perfume or cologne when headed to a winery. The smell of wine you’ll be tasting is an important component of the experience and you don’t want to ruin that for yourself or for the people around you.
Dress Code?
There’s no strict dress code for visiting the winery, but you shouldn’t be too casual or too dressed up. Sweatpants or leggings are just lazy and a big no, but high heels are a bit too much — especially if there’s a vineyard tour, too.
