What the day feels like

What the day actually feels like

You gather downtown for a sparkling welcome, then climb aboard a vintage-style trolley for short scenic transfers between tasting rooms. Each winery stop is a relaxed tasting experience—long enough to sample thoughtfully selected wines and take in vineyard panoramas—before a comfortable, timed ride to the next estate and, ultimately, a return to the original pickup point after roughly six hours.
