Adventure Tips
Wear Comfortable Shoes
Expect to walk several blocks on uneven surfaces, so supportive footwear is key.
Stay Hydrated
Bring a water bottle, as tastings and walking can dehydrate you, especially on warm days.
Bring a Light Jacket
Evenings can get cool by the coast, so having an extra layer is recommended.
Carry Cash
Some taco vendors and breweries may not accept credit cards, so cash is helpful.
