There’s one tricky thing about visiting wine country: With hundreds of tasting rooms in each region (and thousands across the U.S.), how do you know which are the best to visit? I’ve faced this dilemma many times, especially on a first visit to a wine region. And even when I get there, I can’t possibly stop at every well-known winery. And what if you want to visit new wineries that are off the beaten path?
Lot18′s 2012 Wine Country Pass answers these questions. The pass makes it easy to find the right wineries, and it gets you a complimentary tasting and a 20 percent discount on your first purchase at each one. The discount applies to everything available in the tasting rooms, from wine to books to glasses to olive oil to local crafts and wine accessories.
The Wine Country Pass can be used at more than 40 wineries in California, Oregon, Washington and New York. It’ll also help you save time when planning your trip, as you can map out a tasting route based on which wineries were invited by Lot18′s curators to participate. If there’s one thing Lot18′s curators know, it’s their way around tasting rooms and which ones provide the best experiences; they selected the wineries that they, personally, love to visit, and invited only those producers to participate in the Wine Country Pass.
