Our public tours are limited to 12 guests to ensure a comfortable experience for everyone. Many of the wineries we visit are "boutique" wineries with limited space for tasting, so a smaller group is best.

Our private tours vary from one to 32. Private groups contact wineries themselves, and often make appointments and special arrangements for larger groups.

Our public tasting tours include tasting fees in the per person rate.

Private tours do not include tasting fees. Most wineries waive the fee with wine purchases, however.

Typically, our public tour visits 3-4 wineries in an afternoon, spending 45 minutes to an hour at each, with travel time in between.

If you book a private tour, you are welcome to choose your wineries, or we will help plan your itinerary if you'd like. wineries visited depends upon tour duration and guest preference. Tasting experts recommend visiting no more than 5 wineries, since your taste buds get overwhelmed with too many tastings.

We use our luxury line of limo vans and coaches for our public tours. Occasionally we use a van or stretch limo, depending upon tour size.

If you book a private tour, you choose the vehicle you'd like -- stretch limo, town car, luxury limo van, luxury limo coach ("party bus"), mini-coach or standard van.

Public Saturday Tours: We pick up in downtown Seattle, at all major hotels. We also pick-up at downtown Bellevue. Call for specific times.

Private Tours: We pick up at your requested location(s) at your requested time.

Wine tours are a terrific way to learn about wine and taste a variety of options, while we do the driving! Here are some things to note:

• Please have a hearty meal before your tour. It's important not to taste wine on an empty stomach! We do offer a boxed lunch option if you'd like to have something during the tour. Or, feel free to bring your own lunch, we do have room for small coolers.
• After boarding the luxury coach, it's a 45-minute drive to Woodinville, where we'll stop at 3-4 wineries. We spend about 45 minutes at each winery, tasting several wines at each.
• At the time of booking, each guest is asked to review and sign a short agreement concerning conduct--if a guest drinks too much and causes a disruption, the guide will stop the tour, escort the guest off the coach and call alternate transportion for the guest at his/her expense. Then, the tour will continue. We want everyone to enjoy the tour!
• If you like the wine at a particular winery, you are encouraged to buy their wine! Many wineries will ship your purchases for you if you are from out of town. Your guide will store your purchases in the back of the coach--although in warm weather, this may be too warm for the wine, so shipping is encouraged.
