I Get Paid to Sample Wine

Are you a wine connoisseur ? Do you fancy yourself becoming one? What if I told you that you can get paid to drink wine for free? It's true! I get paid to sample wine! And the wine tastings are fun, educational and adventurous. The scenery is remarkable. The atmosphere is pleasant, vibrant and relaxing, too. Often, you learn more about wine than you imagined possible or relevant.

Wine tastings aren't just about drinking wine. It's also about getting an education about the wine, the process, and the winery history. Many wineries are rich in the history that formed the towns where they are located. Communities really get involved in these wineries and schedule a lot of public events surrounding the tours themselves.

Mystery shopping opened the door to Napa Valley for me. I had never visited before I took my first wine tasting shopping tour. The assignment included four wineries within a fifty mile radius. I had two days to complete them so there was no problem with time parameters. When the scheduler assigned the shops to me, I made up my mind that I would be part time tourist and totally drink in whatever this famous wine making valley had to offer me.
