Facility tour fees (fees charged by the wineries to tour their facilities) and lunch set-up fees may add up to $15.00 per person, but will be shown on your quote.

 



2) Public Tour

- our popular, "general admission" standard tour with minibus transport - usually offered a few times per year. (priced from $85.00 and up, per person, depending upon that months' itinerary)

—› To take a Public Admission Tour:
Choose your tour from the posted schedule of upcoming public tours, then give us a call: 408-867-9661. We accept reservations from single individuals, up to parties of 25. Pay by check, or online via credit card. You Must Call so we know you are coming - do not depend on the online ticket purchase to confirm your reservation. (things happen, and it may or may not notify us in time)

*Sign-ups for Public Tours are taken until we fill the minibus, which is a total of 25 per tour. If a minimum number is not reached, the tour may have to be cancelled or re-scheduled.

Public Tours include:

  • transport service (usually a minibus, sometimes a corporate bus)
  • a tour behind-the-scenes in at least one winery on the tour or a chance to meet the winemaker
  • standard tasting and facility tour fees*
  • picnic or catered lunch
  • special discounts on your bottled wine purchases (at most of the wineries)
  • your own tour guide throughout the tour

*Standard tasting fees are included in the tour price. (Some wineries have more than one level of tasting available at different price levels) Upgraded tasting fees are the responsibility of the tour participant. Facility tour fees (fees charged by the wineries to tour their facilities) may be up to $15.00 per person for South Bay wineries. Similarly, wine tasting fees also vary from winery to winery. For your convenience, these charges are included in the price of your ticket so that you pay just one all-inclusive price for the day.

 


3) Combination Tours

- combine winery visits with another activity, such as a visit to a farm, public garden, shopping, sightseeing, etc. Combination tours are a great way to make a tour that pleases both wine lovers and the non-drinking members of your group! (price varies depending upon your selections)
