What to Wear for Different Experiences
Each experience calls for something a little different.
Tasting Room Visits
Smart casual is the norm. Polo shirts, sundresses, or stylish separates work well. Avoid overly casual gym wear.
Vineyard Tours
Closed-toe shoes are essential. Layers help as temperatures shift between the vines.
Cave Tours
Caves stay cool year-round — bring a jacket regardless of the season.
Outdoor Experiences
Comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and a water bottle are your must-haves.
Fine Dining
Dress to impress. For men, a blazer with no tie; for women, a dress or chic separates.
Active Adventures
Performance fabrics, hiking boots or trainers, and layers for changing conditions.
Footwear Tips
- ✓ Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes
- ✓ Avoid stilettos on gravel paths
- ✓ Choose slip-resistant soles
- ✓ Bring a pair of evening shoes
Layering & Accessories
- ✓ Start with a base layer
- ✓ Add a mid-layer for warmth
- ✓ Top with a jacket or coat
- ✓ Accessorize with a scarf
What to Avoid
- ✕ Strong perfume or cologne
