A lot of the smaller wineries have free or low-cost tastings, especially if you avoid the big-name places. I’ve done a couple of DIY tours with friends—just booked a cheap Airbnb nearby and drove around. Plus, if you check for any local deals online, you can find some great group rates that keep costs down. Definitely worth looking into!

I went on a group tour last summer that focused on smaller wineries, and it was awesome! We found a few places that offered tastings for under $20. I also noticed some local buses that run between wineries—super cheap and easy to use. Definitely worth checking out!
