How To Support Your Local Wineries

Supporting a local winery is about more than enjoying a great bottle of wine. It’s about connecting with the people, land, and traditions behind every pour. Visiting our tasting room is a great way to experience carefully crafted selections while learning about the winemaking process firsthand. Whether you are new to wine tasting or a returning guest, each visit helps sustain local agriculture and strengthens the community. Our guests find that spending time at our welcoming winery is a wonderful way to create lasting memories.

Exploring wine trails and participating in local wine tours is another meaningful way to support local wineries. These experiences allow you to learn more about a variety of styles, meet passionate winemakers, and gain a deeper appreciation for regional flavors. By visiting multiple tasting rooms, you contribute directly to small businesses while enjoying a relaxing and educational outing. Wine tours also encourage responsible, curated travel, making it easy to immerse yourself in the local culture while savoring each stop along the way.

There are several ways to support local wineries to make sure that they get the business they deserve. Here are a few ways you can support them:

Buy wine from where it’s made - Going directly to a local winery to purchase wine is one of the best ways to support them. It’s a great way to ensure that the money you’re spending is going to them.

Get wine delivered from the “local” section - There are several places to order wine and have it shipped directly to your home, but instead of going with a random company online check if a local winery near you delivers. At Weathervane Winery, we have a place online to order wine and have it shipped to your home.

Buy bottles of wine from local restaurants and stores - There are usually bottles of local wines at restaurants or liquor stores that are available to buy. If you’re unsure of where to find the wines from local wineries, you can ask an employee.

Order local wines when you’re at a restaurant - Ask your waiter or waitress what wines from the menu are from a local winery. Every little bit of support counts when it comes to supporting a local winery or restaurant because their customers keep them afloat.

Post about your favorite local winery - Local wineries always appreciate a shoutout on social media because it’s free advertising for their business. If you enjoyed your wine tasting, give them a shout out to get more customers to visit their winery!

Attend wine tastings with friends and family - A great way to support your favorite local winery is to visit and do a wine tasting with family and friends! This will give you something fun to do with friends, while also giving your local winery more business because people usually buy a bottle of their favorite wine after a wine tasting.

We invite you to visit Weathervane Winery to experience the charm of a local winery for yourself and discover all that our tasting rooms, wine tasting events, and scenic wine trails have to offer.

Wine Tour or Tasting Tips

Here are some helpful tips to help you prepare for your first wine tour or wine tasting with family and friends:

Dress in comfortable clothing - There is quite a bit of walking involved when you do a wine tour, so it’s important to wear clothing that is comfortable to move in. You will be walking around the vineyard and learning about the wine-making process.

Have a plan - Make sure you have a budget for how much money you want to spend on wine because it can add up fast. Planning will keep you from getting caught up in the moment and overspending.

Don't be afraid to ask questions - Don’t make the mistake of guessing about what wine you liked, just ask for clarification! It’s normal to forget about the wines that you tasted at the beginning of the tour, so it’s also a good idea to make a note on your phone about the wines you like.

Smell before tasting - Don’t be afraid to smell the wine before you taste it. You can get a good idea of whether you’d like the taste of the wine by smelling it.

Stay hydrated - Alcohol will dehydrate you, so make sure you are drinking a lot of water. This will prevent you from feeling sick the next day.

Make sure you eat - Keeping food in your system is always a good idea when you are doing a wine tasting. Some places will give you snacks that pair well with the wines they are serving, and others will have you buy food.

Have fun - Wine tours and tastings are meant to be fun, so enjoy yourself! Make the most of the time you have there and taste all the wines!
