1. Straw Tote
It just so happens that your weekend bag is your daytime carryall – and it can conveniently fit a bottle (or three) of your favorite sampling of the day. We’ll cheers to that!
2. Sunglasses
Sunny vineyard + wine buzz = your excuse to rock shades outside and inside. Consider an oversized pair your most versatile accessory. Just flip them up to keep your hair out of your face… and your glass.
3. Denim Jacket
Wine regions are notorious for being a blissful 70 degrees (can’t blame those grapes for flourishing in perfect temps), but a lightweight jacket is key for when the sun starts to set.
4. Breezy Dress
Easy to wear and even comfier for a day of sipping (and, let’s be real, nibbling on cheese), a roomy linen frock is the only thing you’ll want to be wearing.
5. Sun Hat
Yes, it’s practical for shielding harmful rays, but when combined with rows of grapevines, it’s also a recipe for double-digit likes on Insta.
6. Summer Scarf
Remember what we said about those balmy temps? Well, a light scarf helps in that department – plus, you can drape it over your legs while sitting. Hello, blanket chic.
7. Lip Balm
Red, red wiiiiine… how we love you. But one thing we don’t quite love? Your staining power. The solution: Choose a merlot-hued lip balm. It moisturizes lips and conceals the vino left behind, so it looks like you totally meant to do it.
8. Under-Eye Treatment
Raise your hand if you’ve ever had one glass too many. Glad you’re with us. Remedy the resulting puffy face with a cooling under-eye treatment. Stash it in your bag in anticipation (you’ll be so, so happy).
9. Espadrilles
Wedges may seem like a great idea, until you step on a vine the wrong way and wind up in child’s pose. Flat sandals are just as cute and 100 times more sensible.
