When visiting wineries, keep the visit brief, and don't forget to bring along some entertainment for the children. Some vineyards welcome large tour groups and limousines and these groups often make multiple stops. Take note of what is going on when visiting with children. Not all vineyards allow outside food or charge a small fee to use the picnic area, so verify policies in advance.
