The Tasting Room
Your Hosts
Remember that when you walk into a tasting room you are talking with salespeople. Their goal is to sell you wine. With that said your experiences will vary with the skills of the employees..
-
Be sure to eat some food before
tasting. An empty stomach can get you
woozy fast.
-
Bring bottled water for drinking
between wineries. Keep hydrated.
-
Don't wear heavy perfumes or colognes.
Fragrances interfere with your palate.
-
Wear comfortable shoes (no heels)...
you will end up walking thru some
vineyards.
-
Take along a cooler because days in
the valley are hot and you don't want
your wine to cook in your car.
-
No cell phone talking in the tasting
room... head outside if you need to
chat.
-
Don't be afraid to ask questions. The
staff are trained to answers from
novices.
-
Dump buckets are for unwanted wines.
Use them. Your empty glass means you
need more.
-
If you want to take notes. Please do.
This will signal the staff that you
are serious about learning about their
wines.
-
Undiscovered Napa will make
reservations for you at unique
wineries that fit your needs . We
recommend that you keep it to no more
than three wineries a day.
-
In the last few years the police in
the area have been keeping an eye on
tasters that taste a bit too much. So
hire a driver or have a designated
driver and you'll have a lot more
fun.
