Late spring is a great alternative because the weather is just as nice and crowds are more manageable. The annual grape harvest from August to October corresponds to the tourist season which means prices are at their highest, expect longer wait times and the need for reservations when out exploring
Weather: Because of it’s location in the valley, the weather fluctuates pretty drastically from dawn to dusk, so it’s always best to pack a mix of cold and warm weather outfits and always bring a jacket/ cardigan.
