Adventure tips

Hydrate between tastingsBring or refill a bottle — the tour includes bottled water but summer humidity makes frequent sips essential.

Notify dietary restrictions earlyGluten-free options aren’t available; tell the operator about vegetarian or other needs before booking so stops can be adjusted.

Carry small changeMany market vendors expect cash for small purchases; keep coins and low-value notes handy to speed transactions.
