Fall Vineyard Style: What to Pack for Tuscany and Napa
Fall is a great time to visit vineyards, whether it's Tuscany or Napa, and the trip calls for a wardrobe that balances comfort with style. Between gravel paths and the swing from warm afternoons to cool cellars, practicality matters too.
The Best Jeans and Trousers for a Vineyard Day
I start with denim or trousers that feel good all day, like the Closed Milo Straight Jeans in Dark Blue or the Nili Lotan Shon Jean in Resin Rinse. Prefer a trouser? The Closed Souki Straight Flannel Pants in Black Melange have an elastic waist, which means comfortable but still elevated.
Silk Blouses and Layers for Wine Country
Then add a silk blouse, because it works for day or night and takes up almost no room in your suitcase. The L'Agence Tyler Silk Blouse in Light Cardamom is a beautiful neutral. Layers matter here, since sunny afternoons give way to chilly cellars. The Frank & Eileen Eileen Relaxed Button-Up in Clean Dark Vintage Wash is a denim button-up that I insist goes with me on every trip. It's so easy to style, and it doesn't wrinkle or show a thing. Add the Rails Deidre Jacket in Heather Oat and a cashmere pullover to tie around your waist or throw over your shoulders, and you're covered. My cap sleeve Herno goes everywhere I do, and the Herno Greta in Navy Blue is the perfect version for a vineyard day.
What Shoes to Wear to a Vineyard
Shoes can make or break the day. Gravel and grass are part of the charm, so heels stay home and flats take over. I love the Penelope Chilvers Rove Suede Boot in Black and the Coclico Halyn Loafer in Moule Crinkled Patent, which will take you from the first pour to the last.
Accessories for Wine Tasting
A scarf and a belt give your outfit some life and plenty of repeat wear, and the Maison Lecomte Flament Small Silk Bandana in Black does it beautifully. Keep your hands free for the glass with the Clare V. Petite Fanny in Mahogany Embossed Croco, and yes, that croc detail is as good in person. Sunglasses are a must for the open-air walks. The Z Supply Tourist Polarized Sunglasses in Brown Tortoise-Gradient and Highway Polarized Sunglasses in Satin Gold Brownare so well priced that you can buy a few and switch them up with your look.
Pack fewer pieces that work harder, and you'll feel as good at the end of the day as you did at the start. Salute & Cheers!
Less effort, more style. Wear what you want.
