Sip in Style

What to Wear When Wine Tasting Throughout the Seasons. Wine tasting is not just about savoring exquisite flavors—it's also about embracing the atmosphere, scenery, and experience. Whether you're visiting Rancho Capistrano Winery or another picturesque location, dressing appropriately for the season ensures comfort and style. Here's a guide on what to wear year-round:


🍇 Spring – Fresh & Chic. Spring welcomes mild weather and blooming vineyards. Opt for light layers, such as a flowy dress or a linen button-up with jeans. Comfortable closed-toe shoes are recommended for vineyard tours, and a light sweater is perfect for cooler evenings.


☀️ Summer – Breezy & Elegant. Stay cool in a sundress, lightweight blouse, or tailored shorts. Breathable fabrics like cotton and linen are ideal. Don't forget sunglasses, a sunhat, and sunscreen for outdoor tastings on the patio! Stylish sandals or espadrilles complete the effortless summer look.


🍂 Fall – Cozy & Classic. As the weather cools, layers are key. A knit sweater, dark jeans, and ankle boots make for a polished yet practical outfit. Bring a scarf or light jacket for crisp autumn evenings. Earthy tones like rust, mustard, and deep green complement the season's vineyard hues.


❄️ Winter – Warm & Sophisticated. For chilly wine tastings, opt for a wool coat, turtleneck, and tailored pants. A chic wrap or sweater dress with tights and knee-high boots adds warmth without sacrificing style. Indoor tastings call for elevated casual attire, and don't forget gloves and a stylish coat for outdoor strolls.


No matter the season, comfort and style go hand in hand when wine tasting. Dress appropriately, sip responsibly, and enjoy the flavors of the moment!
