Wine Travel Problem Exposed
Have you envisioned going to Italy for 2 weeks and visiting 4 wineries every day, living the dream by tasting everything that's great?
That's usually not how it plays out! After visiting 3 wineries you get the picture and on day 2 can't see wine anymore, even if you spit. And forget about enjoying a wine dinner after a day of tasting 20 wines.
The trick is to make various other activity plans on location, and keep wine tasting the well measured addition to the trip agenda.
