Should I take a Wine Tour or visit the wineries by myself?

Guided Wine Tours allow you to get behind the scenes and focuses on boutique wineries that extend an intimate feel to the visitors. You get a chance to meet the people who make wine for a living and learn about their passion for the process. Most guided wine tours also have three or more wine tastings with a sampling of the locally-made cheeses. Some guided wine tours also have locally produced meals included in their package, providing a complete experience. While a self-guided tour of the wineries is great, there's no experience like a guided wine tour with a wine connoisseur.
