Hiking is great exercise and a wonderful way to reduce stress. Nothing beats being out in nature. Once hiking is done, now it is reward time. Hit the tasting room and enjoy the wine country.   You can also pack a lunch and enjoy a glass or bottle of local wine with a picnic after your hike. We have done all of these adventures in recent years.

Bring your mobile phone to take scenic shots along the trail. A phone is also useful in the chance you or someone has an emergency. Most of the trails near the wineries are in cell phone range.<\/li><li>Water is a must anytime you hike in wine country. We each use a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Clean Kanteen (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/32Slm6P\" target=\"_blank\">Clean Kanteen<\/a>, a light, and sturdy stainless steel water container. <\/li><li>Depending on the trail, a pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2KujSJP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"hiking or trekking poles (opens in a new tab)\">hiking or trekking poles<\/a> will be very handy. For trails that have hills, the poles will help the knees. <\/li><li>A reliable pair of hiking shoes is a bonus. Your feet will appreciate the shoes. Treads on hiking shoes very much help with footing on the route.<\/li><li>We always carry a few healthy snacks.
