Sip, Swirl, and Style: The Best Summer Winery Outfits
Summer winery outfits and summer vineyard outfits you will want to wear on your next wine tour. All in all, summer is the best time to visit a wine cellar! There is no better place to escape from the heat than a cellar. Pov, there are only a few places with better AC in Europe! But finding the ideal outfit for a wine tasting tour in summer can be exciting. Scroll down to see some of my recent inspiring summer winery outfits that are all smart and comfortable. Ps. Wine tasting is not the same as wine drinking. We only take one sip (at least I do) and not an entire glass. The goal is to taste the aroma, not drink alcohol.

Picture this: Sun-drenched vineyards stretching to the horizon, the gentle clink of glasses, and the rich aroma of oak barrels wafting through cool cellars. Summer is the perfect season to visit vineyards and prominent wine cellars, and what better way to enhance your experience than with the perfect summer winery outfit?
Dressing for a wine tasting tour can be challenging. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway to a vineyard in Napa, Champagne or a spontaneous visit to your local winery, putting together the best summer winery outfit is required.

Of course, my goal is to list all the summer wine tasting tour I ever wore in this article. But I have only started documenting my summer winery looks three years ago, so we only have three plus one looks documented so far. Anyway, more are to come!

FANCY SUMMER WINE TASTING OUTFIT FOR WINERY TOUR IN FRANCE
There is a certain joy that only a dress can spark. For a wine tasting in France, put on a short sleeve mini tweed dress and espadrilles.
1 BLACK SHORT TWEED DRESS WITH ESPADRILLE WEDGES
Step next to AC and imagine how the temperature drops noticeably as you enter the wine cellar. The air is thick with the earthy scent of oak and the faint, sweet aroma of fermenting grapes.
You pass by massive stainless steel tanks. Sadly, their surfaces won’t reflect your stunning new tweed dress, but rest assured everyone around you will compliment you on your dress as you move deeper into the cellar.
The barrel room opens before you, filled with rows upon rows of oak barrels. Some of them are accessorised with a painting, some not yet.
The sommelier’s voice resonates in the space as they begin the tour, explaining the aging process and the impact of oak on different varietals.
As the tasting begins, you lift the first glass, a crisp Chardonnay. The sommelier instructs you to first observe the color – a pale gold that catches the light beautifully. You swirl gently, watching as the wine’s legs form and fall along the glass.
Bringing the glass to your nose, you inhale deeply. Notes of apple and peach dance with subtle hints of vanilla and pineapple. You might even taste melon and toast from the oak aging. You take a small sip, letting it coat your palate. The wine is alive with flavors – bright fruit up front, followed by a creamy texture and a long, mineral finish.
Moving on to a bold red, you notice how the cellar’s dim lighting accentuates the deep ruby color in your glass. This time,the aroma is more intense – ripe berries, a touch of plum jam, and a whisper of chocolate. The taste is complex, layers of fruit and tannin unfolding as you savor that small sip.
Between tastings, you cleanse your palate with water and unsalted crackers, preparing for the next sensory journey. The sommelier shares stories of each wine’s origin – the specific vineyard, the unique weather conditions of that vintage, the winemaker’s vision.

2 SHORT SLEEVE MINI TWEED DRESS WITH ESPADRILLES
Before heading outside, pause to admire a unique feature of the winery – the collection of painted barrels. Pov, you will find art in every exceptional wine cellar. Look for oak barreles that have been transformed into a canvas, showcasing vibrant works by renowned artists. You might spot a barrel adorned with swirling, Van Gogh-inspired sunflowers, its bold yellows and blues striking contrast to the deep brown of the oak.
Another might catch your eye with a Modigliani-esque portrait, the elongated features seeming to observe the cellar with quiet dignity.
But as you make your way outside, the vista before you takes your breath away. Rolling hills covered in neat rows of vines stretch as far as the eye can see, their green leaves glowing in the early afternoon light. Cherry trees punctuate the landscape, their slender forms reaching towards the cloudless blue sky.
You find a quiet spot on the balcony with an ineffable view and lift your glass, this time filled with orange wine. The orange liquid catches the sunlight, almost glowing in your hand. As you bring the glass to your lips, the warm breeze carries the scent of sun-baked earth and grapes.
