Notes on Booking:
Pickup Time
The first venue time is between 10am, 11am, 12pm or 1pm. Your pickup time is determined by how long it takes to get from your pickup location to the first venue. So, if you want a first venue time of 10am and you’re 30 mins away from the valley your pickup time is 9:30am so you arrive at the first venue on time. Note that all of the wineries close at 5pm.
When you make the booking just choose the number of people you think will be attending. You are NOT locked into paying for that number if less people confirm before the invoice is due. See our terms as cancellation policy applies.
Only $250 is required to book. Your deposit is NOT refundable so only make a booking if you’re committed to the tour. Please also view our terms and conditions.
The $250 deposit is NOT an additional amount. It comes off the total amount.
