PLAN YOUR VISIT

• Use the maps in this guide or download our handy mobile-friendly Trip Planner scan to plan your adventure

CHECK IT OUT!

• Do a little research before you arrive, as many wineries now require reservations for tastings

TASTE RESPONSIBLY

• Wine is a beautiful thing, but alcohol should be consumed in moderation

• Choose a designated driver or hire a tour company

• You don’t have to swallow every drop and spittoons are provided in the tasting rooms

• Visit one of the fabulous restaurants en route to prevent tasting on an empty stomach

BE ADVENTUROUS

• Take the opportunity to try something new and break out of your comfort zone

• Ask questions to learn and discover all there is to know about VQA wine

• Don’t be shy – our wine ambassadors love to talk wine

BE RESPECTFUL

• Wineries are working farms, so please don’t enter vineyards or production areas without permission

• Our small communities love welcoming guests but are also home to families and residents; please follow local laws and clean up after your visit so it remains beautiful

LOVE IT? BUY IT

• Many of the locally crafted VQA wines are in short supply and may not be available in your local liquor or grocery store, so take the opportunity to purchase directly on-site at the winery

• Be sure to inquire about delivery and wine club services too!
