Frequently Asked Questions

What wineries will we visit?

It will depend on your final numbers; it’s important to note that every cellar door imposes its own maximum group sizes. Small groups of 2-6 have their pick of wineries. A group of up to 11 guests has reduced wineries to choose from.

Wineries that accept groups of 12-24 guests are limited, so organize your group early to increase your options.

Can I visit a particular winery?

Yes. However, this will depend on the final group size. It’s worth noting that some wineries have different tasting fee structures and charge above the average cost of a standard wine tasting. This product is priced to a set cost. Additional charges may apply for specific stops.

Can I have a quote?
