First Experience on a Wine Tour

At my local club, I observe two types of characters. One is the whiskey guys. These are the suits in the club. They order their drinks very specifically. Two ice cubes, no lemon, you’ll hear them say. They will be caught dead taking the lower rung whiskies. They have some aura about them. The other group is made up of guys I call the beer guys. They are all mostly carefree and laugh loudly. They have some life about them.

A friend of mine surmises that the whiskey guys are a pretentious lot pretending to know their whiskies by the year and all. He compared them to those who take Wine Tours in DC. But come on, we must all agree that there is some sophistication about wine, especially when you know your wines. Plus, it’s just impressive to the ladies. As for the ladies who take wine, well, wine is just ladylike. My friend wasn’t sold on that either. So I went googling how to convince him.

I discovered DC Wine Tours. This includes a trip where one visits a winery and takes a tour revolving around the subject of wines. There are numerous wineries who offer tours of their facilities explaining the process of growing grapes, making wine, aging it, the works. They also offer wine tasting and dining opportunities to boot. I figured there is no better way to get my mate – and myself, secretly – to experience wine properly for the first time (oh yeah, he’s a beer guy as you guessed).

So I booked us on one of the Bachelorette Party Washington DC. It was an experience of its own kind. Seriously, we sat in a train and they took us through the lush vineyards where the grapes grow, explaining how they are picked and all. The scenery there is glorious. The day was marked with fine dining at facilities in the fields and it was crowned with a wine tasting experience as advertised. A connoisseur was at hand to demonstrate how to fully enjoy the Winery Tours Near DC.

At the end of the day, we were not exactly wine connoisseurs, but it was quite an experience. Suffice it to say that since that day my friend does wine. Oh and he checks the label and actually considers the information thereon before deciding to buy it.

You know what a Wine Tour DC is, right? That experience that is like speed dating with the whole wine development process?
