What should I bring for the day?
- Clothes that you do not mind getting wet. i.e – bathing-suit, quick dry shorts/top, sports-bra, etc…
- A pair of closed toed shoes. They will not let you on the river without them.
- A dry change of clothes and shoes. This is a big one. We want you to be comfortable at the vineyard and to have a nice ride home, and a pair of dry clothes is the way to do it.
- Waterproof camera / Go Pro. This is not necessary, but always a plus to capture the day with. We strongly vote against bringing your phones on the river with you, unless you have a waterproof case for it.
- Food for the ride. Make sure you don’t end the ride on an empty stomach. Bring some snacks for the bus ride there and back! Nalgene or water bottle. Always important to stay hydrated throughout the day.
- Cash/Credit. We supply lunch for you, however if you want any equipment add ons or to purchase wine at the end of the day make sure you have some cash handy.
