depends on each vineyard...some you stay for awhile and then some your like 'eh, not that great, let's go' Which ones are you visiting?
I went a couple of times and you can spend as little as 20 minutes to a half hour at some wineries. Depends on how big it is, how much you want to try and if there's a lot of people. It's a lot of fun. I went in the Fall so we went pumpkin picking after and a lot of cute restaurants.

Bedell Cellar- I can tell you that you wouldn't stay there for an hour, not that it is bad but it's smaller and very 'high end' & they always seemed frustrated when we walked in there as a big group. ( & my girls & I aren't obnoxious haha)
I would say stop at Pindar & that one you'd stay for an hour.
Def. rec. Raphael- you could stay there for an hour
We usually eat at Martha Clara or Macari (we pack lunches & apps)
**Macari vineyard we just visited for the first time on our last trip out there & it was beautiful & we'd probably always eat lunch there from now on.
Def. stop at Corey Creek- smaller and you won't stay for an hour (owned by Bedell)
Pellegrini is also GORGEOUS and they have THE BEST riesling!!!
I've never been to vineyard 48 no Palmer.

I'd check out:
Pellegrini (my fav)
Pindar
Martha Clara (a little south from the others)
Lenz (not the coolest looking place, but its chardonnay has won some awards)
Bedell (my other fav)
I also saw that reallllllly cute vineyard on my way out to Orient Point (might be the farthest one out on 25) called 'Old Field.' It looked BEAUTIFUL....and I think it's on the water. Might be worth checking out! ;)
ETA: All of the above are on Rt. 25 except for Martha Clara. (and Raphael and Palmer are also on 25....I don't know about 48...?)
you don't need that much time at each vineyard. I would say 30-45 minutes depending on how crowded the place is, how quickly they serve, how much you want to taste and if you want to sit and have a glass as well. You def. won't need an hour at each place...
you should also go to Pindar....good place to have lunch if you are planning a picnic
