Q: Is parking easy at the vineyard? How's the logistics?

A: Parking at Upper Shirley Vineyards is pretty straightforward. There’s a decent-sized lot, but it fills up quickly on weekends. If you’re going with a group, try to arrive a bit early! Also, be ready for a short walk to the starting point of the ride, but it’s nothing too strenuous.
