You'll head down to your first winery for a wine tasting, usually with the winemaker. You'll enjoy five or so wines and have the chance to hear the history of the winery and perhaps even get a chance to wander around the property.

They offer this picnic opportunity to be enjoyed on the grounds of the property (the actual venue will depend on the day of the week and the number of guests in your group). After lunch, you'll head out for the afternoon, visiting a further one or two wineries or distilleries in the area, depending on the timing after your lunch winds up.
