Built for the person organizing it
Make the day yours without making the planning your second job.
A private winery tour is more than reserving a vehicle. The route, travel time, venue policies, food, reservations, group pace, and return plan all need to work together.
Request a home, hotel, office, Airbnb, or central meeting point that makes sense for the group and vehicle.
The 27-passenger executive bus anchors the fleet, with larger or smaller vehicles arranged when appropriate and available.
Wineries can be considered for scenery, wine style, food, indoor space, energy, timing, and group policies.
The itinerary is built around realistic travel and enough time to enjoy each stop rather than rushing through the day.
Tastings, lunch, charcuterie, catering, or other experiences can be incorporated when selected and confirmed in the proposal.
A professional driver handles the road while a guide can support the timeline, venue transitions, and guest experience.

Clear proposals, fewer assumptions
Know what is being coordinated—and what is optional.
Private tours are customized rather than sold as one universal package. Your written proposal should be the source of truth for the final itinerary and inclusions.
The proposal can coordinate
- The confirmed vehicle and professional driver
- Pickup, return, and realistic service duration
- Venue recommendations and route planning
- Reservations and itinerary pacing
- Guide or day-of hosting support
- Selected tastings, food, or experience additions
Never assume these are included
- Wine tastings, flights, glasses, or bottles
- Lunch, charcuterie, catering, or other food
- Taxes, booking fees, venue fees, or gratuities
- Decorations, gifts, games, or photography
- Specific winery access or private spaces
- Any add-on not listed in the final package
Important: Options are confirmed through a customized proposal. Nothing should be assumed included unless it appears in the final package.

Discuss the Experience
Tell us the atmosphere, wine interests, food needs, accessibility considerations, and priorities for the group.

The reservation is confirmed after availability, agreement, and the required deposit are completed.
Private wine tour questions
Helpful details before you request a proposal.
What group sizes can Vineyard Voyages accommodate?
Private tours can accommodate approximately 4 to 36 guests. Vineyard Voyages operates a 27-passenger executive bus and may arrange larger or smaller vehicles based on the final group, route, and availability.
How far in advance should we plan?
Planning about one month in advance is recommended, especially for popular weekends, larger groups, or outings involving coordinated tastings and food. Shorter-notice requests may be possible based on vehicle and venue availability.
How long does a private wine tour usually last?
Most private experiences run between four and eight hours. The right duration depends on the pickup location, travel time, number of venues, selected experiences, and the pace your group prefers.
Can we choose our pickup location and wineries?
Private groups can request a custom pickup and drop-off location and may share preferred wineries. Final venue recommendations depend on availability, travel time, group policies, vehicle access, and whether the full itinerary can flow comfortably.
Are wine tastings and meals included?
Not automatically. Tastings, lunch, charcuterie, catering, and other enhancements are included only when selected and confirmed in the written proposal.
Can guests under 21 join a private tour?
Private tours may accommodate guests under 21 by request. Winery admission rules and the planned experience still apply, so ages should be shared during the proposal process.
Can dietary restrictions and non-drinkers be accommodated?
Dietary restrictions can often be accommodated with advance notice. Most partner wineries offer non-alcoholic choices, and selected routes may also incorporate a brewery or cidery when requested.
What happens if it rains?
Private experiences operate rain or shine. Vineyard Voyages works with venues that have welcoming tasting rooms and indoor spaces, helping the group remain comfortable when the weather changes.
Can guests drink alcohol aboard the vehicle?
Alcohol is generally not permitted aboard the vehicle. There will be plenty to enjoy at the wineries, and keeping alcohol off the vehicle supports a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable day for everyone.
Is the executive bus wheelchair accessible?
The primary 27-passenger executive bus is not wheelchair accessible. Share mobility and accessibility needs before booking so the available transportation options can be evaluated honestly.
Does submitting an inquiry reserve our date?
No. An inquiry begins the planning conversation. The date is secured only after availability is confirmed, the proposal and agreement are approved, and the required deposit is received.
Start your private tour proposal
Tell us the day you are picturing.
Use the Vineyard Voyages contact form to share whatever you already know. A date, estimated headcount, pickup area, and preferred atmosphere are enough to begin.
Submitting the contact form begins a conversation and does not reserve a date. Availability, vehicle, itinerary, pricing, tastings, food, and other inclusions are confirmed separately through the proposal.
