Children of all ages are welcome on the tour though drinking alcohol is not permitted for those under the age of 21. Please bring a valid photo ID.

Wear comfortable shoes and bring layers as the weather is subject to sudden changes. Often, the coastal weather can be cool with some fog and the afternoons can be much warmer with lots of sunshine. It’s also a good idea to bring sunscreen.

Well behaved dogs are welcome at no extra cost! Be sure to let us know in advance if you’re bringing your furry friend(s) so we can plan stops that are dog-friendly.

If you have specific wineries you do or do not wish to visit, please let us know when you are booking your tour so we can take them into consideration. If you notify us of specific requests after an itinerary has been confirmed for your group, there may be an additional fee to modify the itinerary.

For a charter or private tour a $200.00 or 20% deposit, whichever is greater, will be charged upon confirmation of the booking. As long as we have not received the deposit, the charter or tour is not confirmed and your requested date will not be held.

Absolutely! With our Private Tours, we’re completely flexible on where the tour goes and what you do.

We can organize a number of itineraries that incorporate not only great local wineries, but also distilleries, breweries, olive oil, farm tours and more!

Get in touch with us to discuss what you’re looking for, and we’ll help build your customized itinerary and perfect day.

All private tours include an itinerary consultation at no extra cost.  

During the consultation, we offer guidance on wineries that will be a great fit specifically for your group. We can recommend wineries that will accommodate your group size, offer certain wine styles, have full-kitchens or allow picnics, are dog-friendly, offer tours or any other criteria you might be interested in.

We can also provide recommendations for timing & logistics.

After our consultation you can plan your itinerary and make all the reservations yourself, or I can plan the itinerary and make the reservations on your behalf for an additional $15 per person.

For groups of 6 guests or fewer we will make all winery reservations & plan your itinerary at no extra cost.

Please submit a Private Tour Quote Request. We’ll check and confirm availability and provide a price quote promptly.

There is no set length of time. Saturdays and holiday weekends tend to fill up faster. Fall is our busiest season, followed closely by Summer.

Get your Private Tour Quote now, then book your tour as soon as you decide to go for it.

We are happy to pick you up from your hotel or accommodation anywhere within a 100 mile radius of Paso Robles.

There is an additional fee for pickups over 15 miles from downtown Paso Robles.

If you have a request for pickup outside of San Luis Obispo County, please submit a Private Tour Quote Request to determine what is possible.

Your tour cost will be determined by such factors as the tour length, distance traveled, vehicle size, included activities (i.e. Hearst Castle entry, etc.), itinerary planning and the day and season of your tour.

Lunch is an additional expense, as are wine tasting or activity fees. Gratuity is added on at a rate of 18%.

Please note: For a charter or private tour a $200.00 or 20% deposit, whichever is greater, will be charged upon confirmation of the booking. As long as we have not received the deposit, the charter or tour is not confirmed and your requested date will not be held.

Lunch is not automatically included in your private tour, but we can provide you with a variety of lunch options to best suit your group.

When wine tasting, some of our favorite options include enjoying one of the high-quality winery restaurants, or enjoying a picnic lunch at a winery after your tasting.

You’re welcome to bring your own picnic items, or we can provide a delicious deli boxed lunch for $25pp. You can view the menu here .

Tour group sizes often fluctuate. Give us your best guess. We are happy to work with you as best we can to establish a range of likely attendees and price the tour with that range in mind.

Depending on the day of the week and group size the hourly rate may change.

Also, keep in mind that vehicles have a maximum number of seats and wineries often have a maximum group size they allow. 

Unfortunately, no.

We really wish we could! But there is no way to provide sufficient insurance in this scenario – and believe us, we’ve tried.

Your personal car insurance will not provide coverage if your car is being driven commercially by one of our drivers. (It is considered commercial the moment money is exchanged for services).

There also isn’t any commercial insurance policy that will cover someone else driving your car commercially.

We do have a general liability policy which covers operations outside of your vehicle, however we feel this is insufficient since there would be no additional coverage, including comprehensive or collision coverage, since your personal policy becomes invalid.

Given this, we don’t feel comfortable putting you or our drivers at risk.

However, we provide tours & transportation in our own fleet of comfortable, spacious & fully-insured private vehicles for all group sizes – so get in touch today to get more information!
