Spring brings about the awakening of the earth and with that people are out and about hopefully enjoying the sunshine with the promise of good things to come. Wineries and tasting rooms are busy planning events for people to enjoy.<\/p>\n

In the US we are lucky that so many wineries are open for drop in visits. There are a few wineries where appointments need to be made. However while attending the International Wine Tourism Conferences (IWINETC) in Europe we have discovered that many wineries in Europe require appointments. Whenever you are planning to visit a winery, check with the winery in advance for hours and whether an appointment or reservation is necessary.<\/p>\n

Cheers! Kathy<\/p>\n
