Hello from wine country!

As the leaves turn and temperatures drop, wine country transforms into a picturesque wonderland perfect for a cozy and stylish tasting adventure.

Whether you’re exploring Napa Valley or winding through the hills of Tuscany, choosing the right wardrobe for fall and winter wine tastings not only keeps you comfortable but adds to the charm of your experience.

Here’s our curated list of wardrobe essentials to help you stay warm, stylish, and photo-ready this season!

Chunky Knit Sweaters

• Why: Nothing says cozy chic like a chunky knit sweater. Not only does it keep you warm, but it also pairs effortlessly with jeans, leggings, or skirts, making it a versatile piece for both outdoor tastings and indoor cellars.
  
  
• How to Style: Go for neutral tones like cream, camel, or burgundy for a look that complements the autumn palette of wine country. Pair with high-waisted jeans and ankle boots for a polished yet comfortable ensemble.

 

 

Tailored Wool Coat

• Why: A tailored wool coat is the epitome of elegance and an essential for any wine country wardrobe. It offers warmth and style, perfect for walking through vineyards or cozying up by a fireplace.
  
  
• How to Style: Opt for a classic, knee-length coat in a rich shade like deep green or navy. Pair with a scarf for added warmth and style points. For footwear, try knee-high boots to complete this chic look.

 

 

Stylish Ankle Boots

• Why: Navigating vineyards and rustic tasting rooms calls for footwear that’s both practical and stylish. Ankle boots provide the right balance, offering comfort without compromising on elegance.
  
  
• How to Style: Go for a pair with a slight heel and some tread for stability on uneven ground. Pair them with leggings or jeans and a cozy sweater or coat for a versatile and fashionable look.

 

 

 

Layer-Friendly Midi Dress

• Why: A midi dress is a great option for transitioning from warmer fall days to cooler nights. It adds a touch of femininity and can easily be dressed up or down with the right layering.
  
  
• How to Style: Choose a fall-colored floral or plaid print, and layer with a denim or leather jacket. Pair with a belt at the waist and some boots for a chic, yet comfortable wine-tasting outfit.

 

 

Wool Hat

• Why: Not only is a wool hat stylish, but it also keeps you warm while protecting your face from the sun. Plus, it adds a touch of personality to your outfit.
  
  
• How to Style: Go for a wide-brim hat in a neutral or earthy tone. This accessory pairs perfectly with any outfit, from jeans and a sweater to a dress and boots, adding that finishing touch to your look.

 

Final Tips for Wine Tasting Style

• Layering is Key: Tasting rooms can vary in temperature, and outdoor tastings can get chilly. Plan your outfit with layers you can add or remove as needed.
  
  
• Avoid Strong Scents: Since wine tasting is all about the aromas, avoid strong perfumes or colognes, which can interfere with the experience.
  
  
• Keep it Comfortable: You’ll likely be standing or walking for much of the day, so choose outfits that are both comfortable and stylish.

With these wardrobe essentials, you’ll be ready to explore wine country in style, no matter the weather.

So grab your coat, slip on those boots, book your reservation and raise a glass to a warm and memorable wine-tasting season!
