Why Book Professional Winery Transportation
Self‑driving on tasting days creates stress: appointment windows, rural backroads, limited parking, and the obvious no drinking if you’re driving problem. With a professional chauffeur, your group can enjoy flights, food pairings, and vineyard time without worrying about navigation or safety checkpoints on the way back. We coordinate routes, help stack tasting appointments with realistic drive times, and stage vehicles for smooth departures so your day stays relaxed.

Wine Tour FAQs
Can you help us plan our winery itinerary?
Yes. Give us a wine style (cab, pinot, sparkling) or a few “must‑see” stops, and we’ll recommend a realistic route with drive times and lunch placement; full concierge-level booking available on request.
Is alcohol allowed onboard the vehicle?
Yes for private adult groups (21+) in permitted vehicles; glass use, open-container rules, and cleanup charges vary by vehicle class, confirm at booking so we can prep properly.
How long should we allow between wineries?
In Napa and Sonoma, 20–35 minutes between tastings is common, but festival weekends and harvest traffic can stretch drives; we’ll build buffer time so you don’t lose appointments.
Do you assist with bottle storage or case transport?
Our chauffeurs help load and secure wine; larger vehicles can reserve cargo space or add storage bins if you expect high bottle volume.
What’s the best group size for a Sprinter vs a mini‑coach?
Sprinters are ideal for 6–10 (social layout); mini‑coaches work better for 15+ guests or when mobility ease matters.
Do wineries require reservations?
Increasingly yes, especially for premium or small‑production estates. We recommend booking tasting slots in advance; we can assist.
