FAQs
How does the private tour differ from the group tours?
The private tour is exclusively for your group with no other guests. The route, pace, and winery selections can be tailored to your interests, making it ideal for celebrations, corporate events, bachelorette parties, and any group wanting a more personalized experience.
What winery visits are included?
Winery visits are selected in consultation with your group. The guide typically takes private tours to smaller, boutique wineries with behind-the-scenes access that regular visitors rarely experience. Wine tasting fees are not included in the tour price.
Can we bring kids on a private tour?
The wine-focused nature of the tour means it is designed for adults 21 and older. Exceptions can occasionally be made for family groups who are not participating in wine tasting. We're happy to arrange a tour that doesn't visit wineries to accommodate kids.
What type of bike is included, and should I upgrade to an e-bike?
The base price includes Comfort Cruiser bikes — classic, upright, easy-to-ride bikes with wide seats and a relaxed riding position. For most groups, we strongly recommend upgrading to pedal-assist e-bikes (+$40 per bike). The e-bikes open up more of the valley, make longer distances and any gentle hills effortless, and mean no one in your group will feel left behind. If your group has a range of fitness levels, the e-bike upgrade is especially worthwhile.
Can we choose which wineries we visit?
Absolutely — winery selection is entirely up to your group. If you have specific producers in mind, let your tour planner know and they'll arrange appointments in advance. If you'd like recommendations, your guide has a deep knowledge of the valley and specializes in steering groups toward smaller, off-the-beaten-path wineries that most visitors never find. Either way, all tasting appointments are confirmed before your tour date so you can focus on enjoying the day.
Can we skip the wineries and just do a scenic ride?
Yes — if your group would prefer a purely scenic experience focused on the landscape and the valley's history without winery stops, that option is available. Let your tour planner know and they'll design a route accordingly.
How far in advance should we book a private tour?
Private tours require advance planning — the earlier you book, the more flexibility you'll have for winery selection and scheduling. For peak season dates (May–October) and weekend slots, booking at least several weeks ahead is recommended. After booking, you'll receive a short questionnaire to help the team understand your group's vision before planning begins.
What is the maximum group size for a private tour?
Private tours are available for groups of up to 200 guests. For groups of 13 or more, a custom quote is required
Can the tour start from our hotel?
In some cases, yes — depending on your hotel's location, it may be possible to arrange a tour that starts and/or finishes there rather than at the Yountville shop. Discuss this option with your tour planner after booking.
Is a 20% service charge included in the per-person pricing?
Yes — a 20% service charge is added to all private group bookings. This is separate from gratuity, which remains at your discretion.
