Wine Tours

Grape Escapes offers private and drop in daily tours for our customers who would like to experience the wine country in style.

 

Private or Daily “Join In” Wine Tours

Our wine tours are fully customizable! Simply choose the vehicle that best suits your needs; decide how many hours are necessary and then select the wineries you would like to visit. If you are unfamiliar with the area, Grape Escapes is happy to make recommendations and assist with the planning and routing of the itinerary. If you would like us to take care of everything including selection of the wineries and making the reservations, we offer a concierges service*.

 

Hours Of Operation

Wineries are open all year round and start serving as early as 10 am with almost all tasting rooms being open by 11am and closing by 5pm.  A typical wine tour will last anywhere between 6 hours up to 8 hours and usually include 3 to 5 different wineries. Since wine tours can often take up the majority of the day, many customers will bring their own food/snacks or will choose to have the chauffeur take them to a deli located within the wine region they are touring*. Most wineries have beautiful picnic areas available for guests that offer breathtaking vineyard views to enjoy along with your lunch.

 

More Information

Making reservations is highly recommended and often required for groups of 6 or more. We suggest that our customers call ahead to the wineries, especially with large groups. This helps ensure that the wineries will have adequate staff on hand to provide the best service possible.

  • *For customers choosing to pick up lunch along the way, we recommended that you pre-order the sandwiches/food to make the best use of your rental time.
  • *For customers who will be creating their own itinerary, it is not required to provide a full list of the wineries at the time the reservation is made. We do however request a list of the selected wineries be emailed to us as it becomes available.
  • *For customers who would like to use our concierge service, an additional fee will be added to the reservation total. Fees will be based on complexity of request but generally vary from $100 to $300. Winery selections by concierges are based on customer preferred wine region/varietals, style of winery desired and winery amenities.
