Wine Tasting Tips & Tricks
- Come as you are — Just because you’re visiting a reputable winery doesn’t mean you need to dress to the nines.
- Bring your own lunch — Packing your own picnic is more affordable than buying overpriced food in wine country.
- Get a ride — Uber or Lyft are convenient if you’re not traveling too far. Often the cheaper option, believe it or not, is renting a limo. Priority Wine Pass also offers transportation discounts through its partners.
- Hold the fragrance — Leave your favorite cologne or perfume in the bottle at home. Wearing a pungent scent can ruin the tasting experience for others.
- Be open-minded — Even if you tend to avoid a certain varietal, try what’s being offered, and you might be surprised.
- Don’t be a know-it-all — Technical talk won’t impress anyone, and it’ll just make you look like you’re showing off.
- No need to spit — It’s not just about education. Have fun and don’t be afraid to swallow your sample! Then again, if you’re visiting numerous tasting rooms, it might be wise to moderate your intake.
- Experience family-owned properties — Get one-on-one service that everyone should experience at least once. Just be sure to call ahead first to confirm if you need to make a reservation.
- No sharing allowed — Most wineries don’t permit sharing. You can give a sip to someone who didn’t pay for a tasting, but don’t push it.
- Be on time — If you’re going to be late, give the winery a courtesy call. And if you receive exceptional service, tipping is not expected, but it is encouraged.
How Many To Buy
Wine tasting is always more fun in groups, or at least in pairs, so you might be wondering how many Priority Wine Passes to purchase. If you’re mainly interested in Napa or Sonoma, most wineries offer 2-for-1 tastings, so you don’t need more than one pass per couple.
For Monterey, Southern California, Oregon or Washington, the majority are complimentary tastings. That means you’ll want two passes to cover each of you. For three people, it’s also smart to get two passes because the additional person will get half off tastings at the 2-for-1 wineries.
