My favorite time to hang out at wineries is the fall and winter months.  I get excited when I see the first seasonal decorations following the hot summer season. During the fall, the vineyards and landscape are changing colors, the air is crisp and cool and the wine never gets hot in the car.

In the winter months, the vineyards are dormant and the landscape is shades of grey. This is the time to go indoors to tasting rooms that have couches, artwork, and friendly staff.  There’s no other type of shopping that encourages me to sit around, sip and talk wine.
