Visiting multiple wineries often involves a lot of driving, which is tiring and takes away from the enjoyment of the experience. Besides that, how should you transport the wine you buy? Your travel and transport questions – answered!
Transporting wine over long distances calls for careful planning to preserve its quality. And putting it in the trunk of a car in the hot summer is a terrible idea. Best wine transportation practices include:
By controlling wine transport, you do not risk spoiling the wine you spent hours selecting during your vineyard visits.
We have curated some of the most gorgeous ones if you have never set foot in a winery. A case in point is Cartecay Vineyards outside Ellijay, GA. They offer plenty of live music, estate wines, and tasting events. Guests love visiting during the annual Crush Festival, which lets you participate in grape stomping.
Another gorgeous location is Crane Creek Vineyards. The small batch bottling, an open secret, introduces you to unique flavors. Book a private tour, which is a fantastic way to learn all about the wines, grape cultivation, and tasting notes. You find this winery in Young Harris, in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The Kaya Vineyards and Winery are near Dahlonega. What sets this location apart is the availability of cottages to stay and enjoy wine tasting. Best of all, you can come with just one person or an entire group for a great weekend.
We have already touched on the travel aspects of reaching a winery. There is a lot of driving involved. Some are challenging to locate. However, if you find that one winery you love, you can do an entire trip in just one day – when you take advantage of the KinectAir transportation solution.
What does this mean? You have access to wineries with nearby airstrips or small airports.
These wineries provide great wine and easy access for those flying into nearby small airports.
You visited wineries and found some wines that you want to bring home. Did you know that, if you use a commercial flight to transport the wine, the TSA officer on duty has the last word on whether they will allow a crate or bottle to pass a checkpoint? If you want to brave it, you need to follow some basic rules.
Confirm your airline’s policies on transporting wine. There might be limits on the number of bottles or the weight of a crate. And, because of the added weight, there will be extra baggage fees, especially if a crate exceeds weight limits. Clearly label any crate as "Fragile" and "This Side Up" to alert baggage handlers.
By the way, did you know that airplane cargo holds experience temperature fluctuations? These could be problematic, particularly with rare wines. Consider buying insurance for your wine to protect the investment. Following these steps betters your odds of arriving at the same location as your wine crates – and having them show up in one piece on the luggage carousel.
Using private charter flights to visit wineries and transport crates of wine combines luxury with convenience and efficiency. What does a typical trip look like?
Most importantly, if you buy wines, a private charter flight lets you control the temperature and handling of any bottles. Crates can be securely stored and handled with care, minimizing the risk of breakage or loss compared to commercial flights, where luggage handling is often a little rough. Even transporting large quantities of wine is easier with a private charter. Remember that you are not subject to the baggage restrictions and TSA limitations commercial flights impose.
