Best Vineyards to visit in Winter

Winter can be a wonderful time to visit vineyards with bare vines that make for dramatic frosty photos, the likelihood of smaller crowds meaing more intimate tours, and the best cellar doors providing a cozy escape. But plenty of vineyars are only open from late spring to early autumn, so if you're looking to visit a vineyard between November and February you've come to the right place.
