One minute it’s just talk… next thing you know, you’re in a barrel room with your crew and a glass of red. Worth it.

You could plan a dozen winery stops on your own… or you could end up here, sharing stories with the winemaker and sipping something special, without lifting a finger.

When you say you’ll chaperone your daughter’s wine tour… and suddenly you’re honorary dad to nine besties. Just kidding (kind of). Here’s to the legends who show up, pour the wine, and somehow become everyone’s favorite. Happy Father’s Day!

Tasting wine pulled straight from the barrel. That’s not just a tour—that’s a dream worth planning.
Young wine, young taster—full of potential, and already just right.

"The small group tour is perfect for a solo traveler. The tour guide/driver was fantastic. The wineries we visited were outstanding. Lots of fun facts and history were shared during the tour."
Thanks for the five stars, M. Friedman, and for showing other solo travelers there’s nothing to worry about. Wine tastes even better with new friends!
