The Most Helpful Tips for the Best Wine Tour Experience
Wine travel is one of the best ways to spend your weekend or vacation. What is amiable about wine travel is filling your taste buds with an exquisite liquid which creates memorable experience too. For any newbie in the world of winery, the next move is to build a strong wine relationship through visiting different vineyards and going on a wine tour.
Tumblr media
Wine is a beverage that speaks to your soul. There are so many idiomatic expression about it because of how each old bottle of wine turn its liquid into a delicious refinery as the years go by. Being new to wine should not make you feel intimidated. In fact, you can use this opportunity to get to know more about it.
These helpful tips for your wine travel will surely make it special.
Tumblr media
1. Visit earlier to avoid disappointment
There are 2 reasons why you need to book early - wineries can only accommodate a handful of people and so you can avoid the crowds. You need to book one month ahead to make sure you get the perfect day for wine tasting. Visiting earlier than other wine travellers will benefit you more because it gives you all the attention of wine makers for any queries you have in mind.
Also, you need to know how long will your wine travel be. In a winerist survey, they found out that 14% of people went for the day, 47% went for the weekend, 30% went for a week and 9% went for more than a week.
Tumblr media
2. Spit or swallow
In most social events, spitting is an unethical behavior. But in wineries, you don’t have to pretend to like a wine that taste awful in your mouth. Face it, not all wine taste divine as some taste like soil and too bitter for your liking. It is okay to spit the wines just as long as you’re going to use the spittoons. Don’t feel obligated to finish it, otherwise you won’t enjoy your wine travel.
Tumblr media
3. To drive or not to drive?
The best answer to this question is to join a small group tour of 4-8 people. We pick this option rather than hiring a driver or going on a self-drive tour because this will give you an opportunity to interact with your co-wine lovers and ease off your mind from any worries of driving.
Don’t go overboard in drinking though. You should still remember that you’re on a tour in a winery and not in some pub or bar.
Tumblr media
4. Make it a Family-friendly affair
Who are the best buddies to make your wine travel a memorable one? Your family of course! There are several wineries that offer a kid-friendly environment. These wineries give kids their own brand of refined beverage through grape juices and allot a special space for kids to do their own activity in the vineyard.
Tumblr media
5. Wine Travel should never cost so much
Yes, wine tasting are not only for engaged couples, elite or millionaires. Wine travel don’t need to cost you an arm and a leg. There are wine tours that are cheap yet can still fulfill your taste buds. We suggest for you to do your research first to avoid unnecessary premiums and charges. Wine travel is for everyone.
A friendly reminder: Never drink straight from the bottle.
Cheers!

Food is a necessity that we can’t say no to. It’s just impossible. And when you’re on a trip in one of the best countries in the world that serve delectable dishes, staying with basic meals isn’t easily done. When you think of Kiwis eating, what comes first in your mind? You are probably thinking about their meat pie or Pavlova. Well, those two are indeed important to try in New Zealand. But it’s also necessary to try these places:
FERG BAKERY
At 40 Shotover Street, Queenstown’s favorite apple pie might suit your taste well. You can expect great services and great food the moment you arrive at their doorstep. Interested in some pork belly or cheese pies? Ferg Bakery can serve it on your table in an instant!
AKARUA WINES & KITCHEN
Wines are often the best mix for great menus. Catching up with old Kiwi friends and dining with the family? This is one of the spots you should consider especially if you’re someone with high standards when it comes to food and vineyard-made wine.
