The Experience
Before You Go
Book ahead for fall weekends
Harvest season and local festivals fill tasting rooms quickly—reserve your private tour and any vineyard tours in advance.
Hydrate between pours
Sip water and pace tasting flights to keep your palate fresh and stay hydrated in the high-desert sun.
Sun protection matters
Bring a brimmed hat and sunscreen—the low humidity and reflective sandstone amplify sun exposure during outdoor tastings.
Plan transportation for purchases
Wineries often offer bottles to purchase; bring space in your car or plan for shipping if you want to take cases home.
