THE VEHICLE

Private transport for a full group

The tour supplies exclusive transportation designed to carry your party intact — up to 14 guests can travel together for the duration of the five‑hour booking.

THE PACE

Five hours of scenic exploration

The core booking spans five hours of scenic driving and winery visits, a compact window that balances travel time and multiple tastings across Sonoma’s landscape.

THE OCCASION

Built for celebrations and small groups

Whether marking an anniversary or gathering friends, the format emphasizes a relaxed, all‑in‑one logistics solution so the group can focus on tasting and company.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You board a single vehicle with your party and let a local driver handle the roads while you step into tasting rooms, sample regional wines and move on to the next stop. The five‑hour window is the defining constraint: it establishes a measured rhythm of two to four winery visits depending on distances and tasting‑room schedules, all arranged so the day feels seamless rather than rushed.
