Here you\u2019ll find some advice and a few practical tips so you\u2019ll take maximum advantage of your experience on the Route des vins.<\/p>\n<h2>Bring a cooler<\/h2>\n<p>Because a car parked in the sun can quickly become a hot oven, the bottles you\u2019ll have bought at the first vineyard might not conserve themselves as well as they should. Placing them inside a cooler will allow you to keep your purchase much fresher! You might also want to keep a couple of bottles of water here to stay well hydrated throughout the day.<\/p>\n<h2>Leave your perfume at home<\/h2>\n<p>The sense of smell is of utmost importance in the art of wine tasting. Don\u2019t spray yourself with perfume before you visit a vineyard; The fragrance might mask the wine\u2019s aroma. In the same line of thought, avoid lozenges and chewing gum which could also influence your taste buds.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t plan to visit too many vineyards<\/h2>\n<p>Even though there are more than twenty vineyards on the Route des vins and they\u2019re all worth your time, we recommend you don\u2019t visit more than three or four vineyards per day. Let\u2019s just say that by the time you\u2019ll taste your fifth vineyard product, you won\u2019t be able to appreciate the true value of your visit.<\/p>\n<h2>Identify a designated driver<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11561\" src=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/DSC_6162.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1333\" height=\"888\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No matter how you do it (drawing straws\u2014a coin toss, etc.), a sober driver is essential for a safe experience on the wine route. Please note that you can also reserve a bus excursion with Kava Tours.<\/p>\n<h2>Have a tasting plan<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11562\" src=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Marie-Jade-Cote84.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1110\" height=\"888\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Taste lighter and dryer wines first, then light and semi-dry wines, and end with rich, bold or fortified wines. This plan can be applied to all white, red and ros\u00e9 wines. Also, eat something between each vineyard visit to reboot your taste buds.<\/p>\n<h2>Be curious<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11559\" src=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/DSC_6957.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1331\" height=\"888\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our nordic climate causes grape varieties grown in Quebec to have a different taste than any others produced elsewhere in the world.
