Trail Tips

Start with geography. Stops are listed from south to north. Check travel times and opening hours before setting out.
Pace the tasting. Small servings and strong notes beat a sugar crash halfway through the route.
Plan the connections. Check parking, bike routes, and walking directions between stops.
About this route. This map uses directory listings. A field-reported trail guide is still in preparation.
