Visiting Wine Country


A trip to wine country is always a delightful treat. If you’re contemplating one in the next short while, this time of year is ideal. Harvesting of the grapes and winemaking in most northern hemisphere countries takes place in September and October. It’s an exciting time to visit wineries. Aside from tasting lots of vino, you’ll be able to see the entire process of turning grapes into this wonderful nectar. That includes the picking of the grapes (some by machine and others by hand), crushing, pressing and, in many cases, the finished liquid put into barrels for aging. Not only is this a real education, but it will also give you a better appreciation of all the hard work that goes into creating your favourite imbibe. Plan ahead and enjoy.
