Quick winning principles
- Take wake-up spot 1 (draw two visitors) unless you need the extra worker more.
- Play summer visitors that grant cards before winter sales for cash.
- Plant vines matching your wine order row—mismatched grapes waste crush actions.
- Build trellis and irrigation before filling your third vine field.
Ideal strategy
- 1
Visitor timing: summer visitors for vine planting and cards; winter visitors for VP and wine orders.
- 2
Wake-up spots: position zero grants two visitors—equivalent to 6 VP if visitors chain into wine orders.
- 3
Vine placement: plant left-to-right on the wine order card to minimize field walks.
- 4
Wine value: fill highest-value order first; partial orders score nothing.
- 5
Structure synergy: tasting room plus winery doubles wine sales—build before filling orders.
- 6
Endgame: three filled wine orders plus visitor VP beats a sprawling vineyard without structures.
