To confirm your reservation, we request a 50% deposit of the total tour cost. Please note that groups are required to book together with one form of payment, and individual payments cannot be accepted.

If you cancel your tour 7 days or more before the scheduled tour date, your payment will be fully refunded. Cancelling within 7 days of the scheduled tour will result in a 50% charge of the full reservation cost.

If alternate dates are available, we will make every effort to accommodate your reservation without penalty.

A minimum of two guests are required for a tour to run. Our largest vans can accommodate for up to 14 guests. If you are a group over 14 we may be able to use two vans for your group (depending on availability).

We will send you a recommended list of wineries that we think are the best for our tour groups in terms of quality of wines, location, and service. Please let us know if there is a winery that is not on our list and we will do our best to accommodate your request..

We spend approximately one hour at each winery. We give a 15 minute buffer to get to the next location in time for the prearranged reservation.

Our tours are approximately 5 hours from time of pick up to time of drop off. Our Bachelorette Tour is 6 hours with the added time for lunch.

Yes! We include the cost of the tasting fees at each winery that we visit.

Some offer sparkling and fortified wines as well.

You’ll taste a minimum of 12 wines on your tour.
