Hydrate between tastings
Drink water between wine samples—salt air and sun can intensify the effects of alcohol and dehydration.
Wear stable shoes
Cellar floors and coastal trails can be uneven; closed-toe shoes with good grip make cellar tours and short walks safer.
Pace the tastings
Ask the guide to pace tastings—try smaller pours of fortified Moscatel to savor instead of finishing full samples back-to-back.
Plan purchases
Bring a tote or small box for bottles; shops ship but may have limited same-day packing if you buy after lunch.
Comfortable walking shoes
Provides traction on cellar stone floors and the pebbly approach to some beaches.
Sun hat & SPF sunscreen
Protects against strong coastal sun during outdoor viewpoints and beach lunch.
summer
Light wind/water-resistant jacket
