Details to review before reserving
Everyone must bring a state‑issued ID proving they are 21 or older. Dress casual and comfortable; avoid footwear or clothing that makes entering/exiting a limo difficult and avoid whites that will show wine stains. Evenings can be cool in spring, fall and winter—bring a light jacket.
Driver gratuity is customary; industry standard for personal drivers is around 20%—drivers spend the day servicing and cleaning the vehicle, ensuring safety, guiding to wineries and assisting with luggage or purchases.
The tour includes one complimentary tasting flight per location per person (flights generally include 3–5 small pours). Food is not included except where noted at specific stops.
