What To Wear:
Pack all of your clothes in your Hawaiian punch WKND Traveler! It’s the perfect size for a 3-4 day trip, without being too heavy!
The best part about a wine tasting is that you don’t need a big ole bag, just enough for your wallet, phone, and lipstick! Reach for our Flower Power Clutch, for a fresh, chic look! If you want something with a little pizzazz, go for our Birds of a Feather clutch! The tassel is a fun pop for your time at the winery! Everyone will stop by your table and ask where you got your bag!
Clutches not your style? Go for the Rosemary Tote, the size of this is perfect for a day at a winery! Not too big and overwhelming, but a little bigger than a clutch to take all the wine bottles you buy with you!
Another great option for a wine tasting is the Dreamsicle Crossbody! The chains are the prettiest gold, and the look of this bag is so unique!
