We offer our guests an experience.  You will travel from your door in comfort with a knowledgeable guide to help you choose wines which suit your taste. Our tour guides know wine and know the region. The tour visits wineries of your choosing for you to sample their offerings. Along the way, you will learn of the wineries and hear tales of days gone by in this land of rich history.

 At each winery, you will be served on average one glass of wine.  Because we emphasize the experience, we do not allow drinking of alcoholic beverages on any of our vehicles.  We escort you into the wineries, introduce you and assure that you have a good wine tasting experience.
