Is there a minimum number of participants required to run a group tour?
Yes, our group tours require a minimum of 4 participants in total to operate. If the minimum number is not reached, we will contact you well in advance to offer alternative dates, switch to a private option, or provide a 100% full refund.
What is included in the group tour price?
Our group tours are designed to offer a complete, worry-free experience. Depending on the selected tour, inclusions feature minivan transportation and expert commentary throughout the day, cellar tours, private wine tastings at selected boutique estates, farm-to-table culinary products, local snacks, or traditional lunches where specified, taxes, credit cards fees, 8 hours duration.
Who will be my guide during the tour?
You will be accompanied by a dedicated, professional English-speaking local guide who is also an expert wine and cultural specialist and a licensed driver on select private vehicles. Our guides are passionate locals who love sharing the authentic traditions, stories, and hidden gems of the region and the wines although each tasting will be lead by the wineries' team and owners.
Are children welcomed?
Unfortunately for small group tours/semiprivate tours and specifically for wine tours, children under 16 years old are not accepted BUT we offer family-friendly pacing on all our private options
Lunch & Food Allergies
We do accommodate food allergies, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy free, and other dietary needs.
Please info us at the moment of the booking or the latest in the morning when you get the pick up at your front door so we can still try to make the necessary arrangments.
**** Pls not we can't guarantee no cross contaminations specially for Celiac and we recommend to bring any necessary medications for first aid like an EpiPen.
I don't drink wine
Some people choose not to drink wine for several reasons and we totally understand and sympatize with your choices.
In case of pregnancy you should come anyway cause there is so much to enjoy: the views, thw commentaries, the extra virgin olive oil and the food... Let's say the overall experience.
In case of intolerances, just as a side note most of the wineries we select are organic, they use very little to no additives.
The price will be the same wheter you taste or not because the wineries charge per person for the tour and tastings so WE ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY DISCOUNT.
How long do your private tours usually last
Our private tours are fully customized to match your pace, interests, and schedule. However, standard durations typically range from:

Can we customize the duration or start time of our private tour
Yes, absolutely. Since the tour is private, you have total flexibility.
You can request an earlier start to beat the crowds, extend your tour on the go if you are enjoying a specific location (subject to guide availability), or tailor the itinerary to fit your cruise ship or flight schedule.
