Our 5-Star Bespoke, Private Wine Tours are delivered fresh daily for any sized group, experience or ambition; three hours, three days and/or three wine regions, let us take you there! If you’re new to wine, we’ll dispel the myths and intimidation that can follow and explain the basics; don’t worry, no wine snobs here! We are foodies however and our winery picnics are off the hook. If you’d rather lunch with a fine dining experience, just say the word, we have many options.
If you’re looking to “drink deeper” we have an array of in-depth wine experiences:
- Vineyard walks or Gator ride
- Winery production tour
- Food/Wine pairing
- Barrel tasting
- Blind tasting
- VIP tasting
- Comparative tasting or side/side
- Wine blending trial
No fixed routes here, we welcome the opportunity to hand craft your ideal day in wine country. No two tours are alike and are built around your wine preferences/styles, experiences desired, even price point of wines/tasting fees. Options can include; olive oil tasting, ziplining, visit a local farm, ride a horse or try your skill at archery.
