Insider tip

Purchase your ticket online a week ahead and request the self-guided trail map—it lets you skip the crowded morning stops and hit lesser-known wineries like Giant Steps or Innocent Bystander during their quieter afternoon hours. The live music rotates, so check the schedule to hit your preferred venues when specific acts perform.
