A wine tour works best when nobody has to be the designated driver. On our California wine tours, your chauffeur picks everyone up, drives between tasting rooms, waits while you taste and brings the group home. We pick up across Orange County, Los Angeles and the Inland Empire. Our team has planned chauffeured days like these for 35+ years.
Each region gives a different kind of day. If you are still deciding, our comparison of which wine region suits your group weighs them by mood, style and time.
Temecula Valley sits in Riverside County, in the Inland Empire. The Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association counts 47 wineries in the region. That lets a single day mix large estates with smaller tasting rooms. Groups starting in Riverside, Ontario or nearby get a local pickup from our Inland Empire team.
Santa Ynez Valley in Santa Barbara County makes a longer outing that suits couples and small groups. Visit Santa Ynez Valley describes more than 120 wineries across seven AVAs in the Santa Barbara wine region. Towns such as Los Olivos, Solvang, Ballard and Los Alamos anchor the valley. The area has a reputation for cool-climate Pinot Noir and Bordeaux-style reds. In Los Olivos, your chauffeur can wait nearby while the group walks between tasting rooms.
The Malibu Coast wine region lies in the Santa Monica Mountains. It works well as a shorter outing for groups starting in Los Angeles. The Malibu Coast Vintners and Grape Growers Alliance publishes a wine trail map and a directory of tasting locations. With those, you can build a relaxed afternoon around a few smaller properties.
Wineries manage visits from tour vehicles carefully. The Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association asks transportation companies to reserve before bringing guests to member wineries, especially on weekends. Its tours and transportation rules spell this out. Its Responsible Partner Program asks for advance permission for groups of 8 or more. The program also discourages hard liquor and beer during wine country visits.
So we confirm the route before the day instead of improvising on the road. Tell us which wineries you want, or the style you prefer. We then set the order of stops around each winery’s confirmed time. If the group wants to add a winery the night before, your chauffeur keeps the original plan until that winery confirms it can take you.
A meal fits easily into the tasting day. The Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association highlights food, live music and winery tours between tastings. Reserve your table first, then add its time to your request so we can build the route around it.
Unopened bottles you buy ride home with you. Santa Ynez Valley makes a long day from Orange County or the Inland Empire. With hourly service, you set the length of the outing, and the drive counts toward your hours.
Start with the group, and the vehicle follows. Couples and small groups of friends want a quiet ride between estates. For them, the Cadillac Escalade seats six and leaves room for the bottles you pick up along the way.
A celebration wants the ride to feel like part of the party. For a birthday or a bachelorette weekend, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Limo takes up to 12. Its ice wells keep sodas and waters cold.
A club, an association or a company team needs everyone on one schedule. Our motor coach carries up to 56 and stores cases of wine in its oversized luggage compartment. You can compare every vehicle in our fleet by riders and bags. When a group needs more than one vehicle, we time the convoy for larger parties so everyone reaches the first winery together.
Tell us the region, the date, the number of guests, the pickup address and any winery reservations you already hold. We base the quote on the vehicle, the number of hours, the starting point and the date.
