The idea

A cellar is ten degrees colder than the courtyard you walked in from.

Dress in layers you can add and remove without thinking, in colours that forgive a splash. Flat shoes for gravel, no scent at all — the room is meant to smell of wine, and yours is the one thing that can spoil it.

The capsule

  • 1

    A warm mid-layer

    A fine knit or a wool overshirt for the cellar.

  • 2

    Dark or deep-toned cloth

    Red travels. Ink, olive, and chocolate forgive it.

  • 3

    A flat, stable shoe

    Gravel, stone stairs, and sloping cellar floors.

  • 4

    A jacket that handles weather

    Courtyards are outdoors, whatever the season.

  • 5

    No fragrance

    The single most useful rule of the day.

Styling notes

Keep it relaxed and grown-up: a knit, a straight trouser, a good jacket, a leather flat. Roll the sleeves rather than adding jewellery at the wrist — you'll be holding a glass all afternoon. If the tasting runs into dinner, a silk scarf or a swapped shoe is all the change you need.

Questions

What should I wear to a winery visit?

+

Layers and flat shoes. Cellars are cold and floors are uneven; courtyards and vineyards are outdoors. Deep colours are safer than pale ones.

Should I avoid perfume at a wine tasting?

+

Yes. Fragrance interferes with everyone's tasting, and most producers quietly ask for none.

Is a wine tasting formal?

+

Almost never. Smart casual, leaning practical — the aim is to look considered while being warm enough to enjoy an hour underground.

Dress with ease, every day.

Free to try. Ready in a moment.
