Wineries offer an opportunity to relish a charming visit to sprawling acres of luscious grape plantations –– presenting a picturesque natural backdrop along with stunning wine collections. Australia is well known for its wine producing prowess, so if you're planning on enjoying a few wine tasting tours, then you certainly need to be equipped with winning tricks to make it truly authentic.
Choose To Visit Smaller Vineyards
While larger wineries are probably more well known, the tour may seem impersonal with a lot of people around. Larger wineries may not seem intimidating because their brands are well known in the market, so you know what to expect. But to feel the passion behind winemaking, you should ideally seek out smaller vineyards and wineries on your wine tasting tours. This allows you to spend more quality time with the winemakers, since they are likely to have fewer visitors, giving you better insight into the entire wine making process.
Try Regional Specialties
Depending on where you are travelling for your wine tasting tours, you should ideally try the specialty grapes of the region for the most authentic experience. For instance, in the NSW wine region, Hunter Valley is well known for Semillons, Canberra is known for Riesling or Shiraz and Hastings River is known for Verdelho. Try to experience the regional specialties, so you don't end up missing out on them by sticking only to grapes you're familiar with.
Take Small Sips To Experience More Wine Varieties
Keep in mind that you're on a wine tasting tour not in a bar. Drinking large glasses of wine will prevent you from tasting and enjoying everything the winery has to offer. If you want to drink big glasses of wine, it's best to go to a bar. If you're on wine tasting tours, then be sure to take small sips to better experience more wine varieties.
Make Sure You're Hydrated Between Every Wine Tasting Session
When you taste different varieties on your wine tasting tours, it's easy to feel a little tipsy if you're not careful. To prevent this from happening, make sure you bring lots of water and stay hydrated between every tasting session. All those sips of different wines can really add up. Some experts also endorse spitting out wines after some tastings to ensure that you remain sober during your winery visits.
Wine tasting tours isn't just something that connoisseurs enjoy. Most people that enjoy the occasional glass of wine will also find value in winery visits. Follow these winning tricks to enjoy truly authentic wine tasting tours.
