Monday, November 2, 2009 16:07Most people who have never been to a wine tasting event don’t know what to expect. If this is your first wine tasting holiday you may be wondering what is going to come next.
When the day comes for tasting wine, it is important that you should eat your breakfast. Carbohydrates and fats should be included in your breakfast meal. Your blood sugar levels will be retained if you eat this kind of morning meal.
Lipstick should not be worn by the ladies when wine tasting. The oils that stick to delicate crystal will have a significant effect to the overall taste of the wine and even the odor.
The taste of the wine can also be effected by strong aftershave or perfume so avoid wearing these on the day.
There may be some free wine tasting wine makers or vineries but be warned most charge a small fee, this can run from 10 – 25 dollars per person. You can sometimes get a complimentary souvenir glass with the purchase of a bottle of wine so look out for these good deals.
You might want to wear sensible shoes when you try visiting wineries. You need to remember that wine makers are more or less farms and you should expect to do some walking about the grounds.
Dressing up is a no-no whenever you are in Wine Country, think you are not going out for dinner but to a place of work. You may be going to a eating place after your wine tasting day then sure, bring a another change of clothes. It might be a good idea to bring another set of clothes if you are going out for a meal right after the wine sampling day.
There are plenty of tour guides free to hire, this will help you enjoy the day even more. These guides are experts and know the vineries and the vino inside out, this not only save you time but also money. Drinking and driving don’t go together so make sure that if you are going to drink a lot of wine you employ one of these experienced guides.
