And you can enjoy that in the surrounding of a windmill or a jazz festival! Tempting!

🇺🇸 Mendocino
Mendocino isa coastal town up North the world famous Nappa Valley. Though Cabernet Sauvignon vines can thrive there, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah shine brighter here in this cooler climate region! Don’t forget to book your stay in advance as the secret is spreading fast…

🍇 Wine tourism can be a new way of thinking. 🤔

We often think of tourism as just being visual, just looking at the landscape, but it’s more than that. You must engage the 5 senses. 👃🏻😋👀

What are they you ask?

👀 SEE: What color is it? Look at the wine. ...
🌪 SWIRL: Give it air. Swirl the wine a couple times. ...
👃🏻 SNIFF: What do you smell? Smell is the main sense used in wine tasting, so sniffing the wine before tasting is essential. ...
🍷 SIP: What do you taste? ...
👅 SAVOR: Does the taste linger?

Meet leading industry leading experts who are doing just that!

Contact us and feel free to ask questions or DM us any time.
