Why is spring an ideal time for wine release events and barrel tastings?
If you’re a wine lover, you’re likely planning a trip to your favorite wine country this spring. Why? Whether home or abroad, enthusiasts who visit vineyards and wineries for spring release weekends can be among the first to enjoy newly released wines, many of which can only be found by visiting the wineries and tasting rooms themselves. It’s a fantastic opportunity to talk directly with winemakers about the new vintage. If you’re lucky enough to enjoy a spring barrel tasting, you’ll get to sample yet-unfinished wines from the barrel with the winemakers themselves and gain insight into the creative winemaking process.
Spring Break in Wine Country
What’s more – a road trip to the wine country can be one of the best grown-up springs breaks around. Relax among the grape vines, just beginning to shed their winter sleep. The air is fresh, the flowers are blooming, the scenery is divine and the best wine in wine country is flowing!

(Actually, Ben Franklin’s original quote is: “Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy!” He may have enjoyed claret, a red wine of Bordeaux lineage that is popular at the time).When your personalized wine gift box arrives, all you need to add is the bottle of wine!
