Our Private Tours

Bring your friends and experience Virginia’s beverage trails in a fun, casual environment. Our private tours are offered around the Charlottesville and Richmond beverage trails. We can also travel to vineyards, breweries, cideries, and distilleries outside of the Charlottesville/Richmond area upon special request.

We provide transportation to special events, wedding groups, corporate groups, and festivals. Half Day tours start at $60 per person. Full Day Tours start at $80 per person. Our minimum group size is 3 people and maximum group size is 14. We will book tastings and include those additional fees to your upfront booking cost. Should you take a full day tour, you have the option to book lunch at an additional cost of $22 per person or to bring your own picnic.

If you have questions regarding our offerings or have a group larger than 12, please contact us anytime at [email protected] You can book your tour online by clicking Book Now at any time. A deposit is required at time of booking. We will add on any additional charges or incidentals, like tasting fees and lunch, one week prior to your tour. Booking at least one week in advance is preferred, but we understand that plans can change.
