Cycling to wineries is a fun day out for parents and kids. Cycling means you get to visit less wineries but it’s a great active day even with little kids.
Many wineries are beautiful buildings with sizable art installations but the art is typically outdoors providing ample opportunities for goofy kid-art-posing.
Although you may not like to think of it when you raise a glass of your favorite wine, viticulture is a science. Most winery tours do not include the laboratory which is a pity because this one was a real crowd-pleaser.
If you bring your kids to enough wineries, they may, at the grand old age of 14, be ready to give a little speech on why old vines are better than young ones.
