Wine Kits For Your Reading Pleasure

Tips for planning your own winery adventure



If you are planning on taking off on your own wine tasting trip this summer, there are some steps you can take to make sure that your winery adventure meets your expectations. The following suggestions will help make it an experience to remember.



There are several great resources on the internet where you can find information on wineries in many areas. Your best bet is to choose one winery that you definitely want to visit - then build from there. Insert the city of the winery you chose into a search engine's yellow pages. (MSN is my favorite...it has a nice distance search). Search for wineries in a specific radius from this city...around 50 miles usually works. Unless you have chosen a very remote winery, this search will usually yield many more wineries to choose from and add to your agenda.



If you are lucky, most of the wineries you have found will have an informative website where you can check exact locations, operating hours, types of wine they produce, special events and more. Choose no more than five total wineries to visit in one day. Be sure to call any wineries that do not have a website, especially if you are not traveling during the summer months. Some of the smaller wineries do not keep regular business hours, so it's best to verify operating hours before you finalize your plans.



After you know exactly which wineries you will be visiting...and in what order...try to book accommodations very close to the last winery. Using a search engine's yellow pages distance search (like you did when searching for wineries) is also great for this. Book as early as possible. Many times the closest accommodations are small inns or bed and breakfasts and they tend to book-up quickly.



While on your journey, please taste responsibly.

Personalized Wine Gifts


Many wine shops offer their customers the option of personalizing gifts according to their taste and budget. There are many ways of customizing wine gifts, from getting the person's name printed on the gift box, attaching special labels to wine bottles, to getting the occasion, a special date or a personal message printed on the gift itself.

A personalized label on wine bottles is a very common practice and is preferred by most couples. In fact, there many different kinds of labels that one can attach onto wine bottles. One can choose between the many labels meant for different occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, New Year, weddings and many more. Once the customer has selected the label which he or she wants to be attached to the wine bottle of their choice, they can also get a special message or design printed on the label.

Another very popular wine gift is a custom-made wine basket. Customers can get different kinds of wine baskets made according to their own preference. They choose the items which they want should be included in the wine basket, such as the wine bottles, any wine accessory such as corkscrews or bottle openers, edible items such as chocolates and cheese or maybe even flowers.

Personalized wine gifts have become quite popular as they add a unique and classy touch to the gift. During holiday season, when the practice of exchanging gifts is at its peak, many customers and even companies, order personalized wine gifts such as bottle openers, corkscrews and wine stoppers in bulk. The price of these personalized wine gifts is just a little bit higher than the actual wine gifts, the extra charge due to personal touch added. However, when ordered in bulk, the price per gift tends to go down slightly.

Wine Gifts provides detailed information on Wine Gifts, Gifts For Wine Lovers, Wine Related Gifts, Corporate Wine Gifts and more. Wine Gifts is affiliated with Wine and Cheese Gift Baskets.
