What to pack

What September feels like

Harvest fills the vineyards and the crowds thin right out after Labor Day — this is the month locals recommend to people they actually like. Nights cool off fast, so an evening on the water wants a fleece regardless of how the afternoon went.

Rain arrives about 7 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
