Discovering Urban Tasting Rooms | Top 10 Picks 2023
You can travel long and far to get that ultimate wine tasting experience, but you'll be pleasantly surprised as what's waiting for you at nearby urban tasting room locations.
Sure, we all love visiting the majestic estates surrounded by historic vineyards that are found deep into wine country, but what you will be pleasantly-surprised about is many of the aspects of your experience can be found nearby at local tasting rooms found in urban environments. Wine educators at their urban locations are equally focused on providing a hospitality experience that rivals their sister locations, filled with history, access to limited-release wines and of course their own unique experiences.
Some of these urban environments can be found in the big metros; from New York City to San Francisco, but you'll find many town centers are also becoming bustling epicenters for delivering an exquisite wine tasting experience in places that are within famous grape-growing regions but offer the convenience of arriving on foot. Brand-new hotels such as the Archer Hotel in Napa have sparked new life in towns that were once-forgotten.
And with many new investments being made in these town centers, major transformations that locals like us don't event recognize are breathing new life and foot traffic, drawing more retail business and tasting rooms. "The more the merrier" they say!
Downtown Napa, historic Healdsburg- even Woodinville, WA are reinventing themselves to deliver the upscale experience you seek, surrounded by upscale shopping, dining experiences and accommodations to boot. We actually really enjoy staying in the downtown areas because you also have easy access to night-time activities that allow you to keep the party humming along.
So this week, we share with you our top 10 picks for discovering the urban wine tasting experience and hope to join us in discovering the fantastic tasting experiences that could be closer than you think delivering from the super-casual to the super high-end.
