Dream California Wine Country tour
The Northern California region in United States is widely acknowledged as one of the world’s finest wine-growing region. Even though the entire county of California cultivate grapes and produce some remarkable wine, Northern California is particularly renowned for its outstanding wines. This country region principally consists of Napa wine country tours, Sonoma and also includes Mendocino and parts of Lake Counties.
Wine lovers from across the globe keep visiting this area and stopping at all the wayside wineries and relishing rare, vintage and exotic wines in various tasting rooms. To travel around the wine country properly and in a comprehensive manner may require some advance planning. If you really want to have a wholesome dream wine country tour and not miss the less prominent wineries, you should opt for the guided tours.
Tasting fees may vary and in Napa, the fees may be somewhat higher while in most other parts tastings will be either free or the fees will be nominal. Please know that the wines of this region are drawn from French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Eastern European varietals.
California wine country tours are not merely to taste the different varieties of wine but also learn all about the process of wine-making. To make your wine tour even more adventurous and exciting you can go round the area in different modes of transportation like – bicycle, train, bus, car, motorcycle, limo, boat, balloon and even horse rides.
If you are enterprising enough, you can hire a car and self-drive with the aid of wine country brochures and guide books plentifully available. You can even avail of jeep tours that will take you through the vineyards to learn first-hand the art and science of wine-making. But whatever modes of transportation you may choose, you should not miss availing the exciting balloon travels.
The most exciting and adventurous tour of wine country sightseeing tours is availing the Napa valley balloons. This will be an out-of-the-world experience as the balloons will soar to dizzy heights to provide you a breathtakingly beautiful glimpse of sunrise. The balloons glide over the Napa valley at an incredible altitude of 2,000 feet and the ride lasts for nearly an hour and, in most cases, includes a continental breakfast.
This apart, whatever the mode of transport you select, make it a point to exhaustively cover all the fabulous wineries and witness the picturesque sceneries and also enjoy the truly warm and hospitable atmosphere.
It may be preferable to avoid weekends if you truly want to have a dream California wine country tour. During weekends, you will have to contend with heavy crowd of tourists, inordinate delay in congested tasting rooms and non-availability of adequate staff to guide and enlighten you.
It is also worth remembering that California wine country is home to many excellent restaurants and visiting them can be a memorable way to taste the best wines as well as food with local flavor the county has to offer. Most restaurants generally serve extensive varieties of wine with a focus on local bottles.
