Atmosphere
- At more serious wineries, tastings can be very informative and educational, where you learn about their winemaking process and what makes them unique. You may get to try single-vineyard or vintage tastings for comparison. There's usually not a lot of distractions from the wine.
- Other wineries are more about kicking back and enjoying the vibe. They may offer more than just wine, like beer or wine slushies. The wine labels could feature fun characters or themes, and there’s often live music.

Group Friendly
- The maximum group size the winery will accept without reservations. Typically, this number is 6-8.
- The maximum group size the winery will accept with reservations. This varies greatly, but many wineries will accept up to 12 if you contact them and make arrangements. Some wineries accept much larger groups.
- Are buses and limos allowed on the property? Many wineries do not allow buses and limos in their parking lot.
- Does the winery have enough indoor space for groups? Often, wineries accept groups, but they must sit outdoor, which isn't ideal in inclement weather.
- Does the winery have dedicated space for groups? It's nice for large groups to have their own room.
- Does the winery provide guided tastings for groups, or is it self-guided flights only?
Location
- Proximity to other wineries. Our website primarily focuses on planning winery tours, so we consider it advantageous when wineries are located in clusters and within around 15 minutes of each other.
- On the main route. Most of the lakes have a main route or trail along each shore that visitors generally follow when touring wineries. We give higher rating to wineries with an entrance on that route. If a winery isn't on the main route, we consider how far off the route it is, and whether there are signs on the route directing you when to turn.
- Well-marked and easy to find. Is the entrance easy to spot, or could you miss it? If you were just driving along the main route without a specific destination, would the winery catch your eye?

View
- Lake, vineyard, or both. This is the most important factor, and the best views will include both the lake and vineyard.
- Perspective. Some wineries are close to the lake and at a low elevation, so you don't get as wide or far a view.
- Obstructions. Is it a clear view, or is it obstructed by trees or houses?
- Roads and parking. Roads and parking areas detract from the quality of the view.
