A few of my cousins have gone on Wine Tours in various parts of the country. They really enjoyed them, as unlike other tours, they weren’t rushed in and out like cattle. A lot of tours promise to take you to several wineries and teach you how to make wine. They never used the information they learned because they are just the types to not slow down, but they did say that they sampled a little too much! Even so, you don’t have to go overboard on the tours, and you are also shown some beautiful areas of the countryside that you normally wouldn’t get to see. Partly because we are always worried about getting from point A to point b and don’t notice, but because much of it is private acerage that you would normally not get a peek at.
I am just an occasional drinker, but think there is a lot of value in learning to make your own, even if its just once in a blue moon, and a bottle or two at a time. You won’t get the various sulfites like some commercial wines, and can cater to food sensitivities when looking for a base for a delicious recipe.
