Feeling overwhelmed when trying to plan a fun day in wine country? You're not alone, these 5 tips will help you in the planning process to ensure you get the most out of your wine tour experience;

1. Research wine tour operators ahead of time and make a plan. Niagara has plenty of companies to choose from, so take some time to research which one would best fit the needs of your group.  And remember to book ahead of time, weekends fill up quick!
2. Consider booking a wine tour that includes a tour of the winery. A guided wine tour can provide you with a deeper understanding of the winemaking process and the history of the winery.
3. Attend a wine tasting event. Many wineries host special events and tastings throughout the year. These can be a great way to sample a variety of wines and meet other wine enthusiasts.
4. Don't be afraid to ask questions. The staff at wineries are often knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. They can provide you with valuable information about the wines you are tasting.
5. Take your time and enjoy the experience. Wine tasting is meant to be a relaxing and enjoyable experience, so take your time and savour each sip. And don't forget to drink plenty of water and eat something between tastings to avoid getting tipsy.

And please remember these 2 important lessons in life, you get what you pay for and when something sounds too good to be true, most likely it is! 

Cheers!
