More Than a Wine Tasting

A Relaxing Local Escape

A winery visit can be one of the easiest ways to turn an ordinary afternoon into a memorable local getaway. Many regional vineyards now combine thoughtfully made wines with beautiful scenery, outdoor seating, live entertainment, food trucks, educational tastings and seasonal events.

Some destinations are best for serious wine enthusiasts, while others are ideal for couples, groups of friends or anyone looking for a peaceful afternoon in the country. The right choice depends on the kind of experience you want.

Plan Before You Go Reservations, food policies, entertainment schedules and seasonal hours frequently change. Always check the winery’s website before visiting.
