Good to know
This suits wine enthusiasts and groups wanting a private, guided experience without mixing with other bookings. The itinerary is flexible — you can request specific wineries when booking. Note that drinks during lunch and gratuities are not included in the price. A minimum of six passengers per booking is required; the van is exclusively for your party.
