We will share with you once we start to work with you and you have paid a deposit. We don't share the tours, as we have done alot of research and selection before we decide to select each winery. It's our way of keeping it a little secret too. If you have a winery you want to include, we can always modify and customize each tour.

We will require full payment if the tour is booked less than 30 days before tour start date. FOR TOURS OVER 30 DAYS, 10% deposit is required with the balance paid 20 days before travel date. Cancellation Policy We do our best to keep prices current for the tours, however, if there is any change at any of our partners at the time of booking, we will immediately contact you and discuss the best alternative (if needed). If there are any other changes to the destination due to unforeseen circumstances, we will provide a suitable alternative and discuss this with you in advance. To avoid cancellation and trip changes costs, please consider protecting your tour with travel insurance.

We focus on day tours only, however, once we start working with you, we can advise you on hotels/airfare and travel to and from the airport. We have partnered with several hotels who we enjoy working with and know they will provide the level of service that we expect. We prefer you to get the best deals/use your frequent flyers points etc. when booking hotels and airfares.

All payments are listed per person and will be paid based on the number of people in your tour. For example, if there are 5 people in your group, one person will make the full payment rather than each person booking. We require a full payment up front and any cancellations will result in refund (less a service fee) depending on the number of days prior to the tour date. Please review the cancellation policy. All cancellations will receive credit travel up to one year.
