New York Vineyard Tour: How to Plan the Perfect Trip

If you’re looking for a fun and relaxing weekend getaway, look no further than a vineyard tour in New York! There are many different vineyards throughout the state, each with its own unique charm. Planning the perfect vineyard tour can be a little daunting. Don’t worry; Empire Rent A Car is here to help. So sit back, relax in your rental, and let us show you around New York’s wine country!

Decide on the Vineyards to Visit

Planning the perfect vineyard tour starts with deciding on the vineyards to visit. This can be tricky, as there are so many options to choose from. However, a few factors can help narrow down your choices. For example, consider what type of wine you prefer and look for vineyards specializing in that style. You should also research the different vineyards to determine which ones offer tours and tastings. Once you have a list of potential vineyards, you can start planning the rest of your trip!

Make an Itinerary and Reservations

Once you've chosen your vineyards, it's time to make an itinerary. First, visit the websites of your favorite vineyards and find out which ones offer tours. Then, call ahead and make reservations for the tours you want to take. Most locations will require you to have reservations for tastings or tours. Others might just accept walk-ins. So, having this information in hand will help keep your vineyard trip on track for the weekend. 

Get a Rental and a Designated Driver

Transportation is a crucial part of your weekend getaway. Many vineyards are in rural areas, so it's essential to have a reliable form of transportation. Renting a vehicle is a great option, as it gives you the freedom to explore the vineyards at your own pace. If you have a smaller group, stick with a smaller vehicle. But if you're exploring vineyards with a large group, consider a Sprinter van instead. And if you're planning on doing any wine tasting, be sure to designate a sober driver!
