Visiting a vineyard in winter, especially during November and December, offers a unique experience for wine enthusiasts. While these months are often bittersweet for your wine collection, sharing your favorite wines during the holidays can leave your wine rack half-empty. Winter is the perfect time to restock at wineries like Cellar Beast Winehouse. Contrary to popular belief, vineyards hold plenty of charm in winter, offering a different but equally captivating experience in the warmer months.
