For our full-service option, My
Chauffeur does all the planning, preparations and tour execution to ensure your
tour is a success. All you need to do is be at the pickup location.
When you ring to make your booking, just let us know what your wine tour
requirements (interests) are, if any, and we will do the rest for you.
Bottom line - WE are ultimately responsible for the success of your tour.
For the full-service option, we offer:
 |
A personal tour concierge - taking care
of everything from beginning to end. Winery appts, winery facility tour
appts (if facility tour is requested), tour planning/preparations and all else is
taken care of. Your private concierge is always available by phone or email to discuss your tour with you.
|
|
A personal full-service lunch concierge - taking care of
lunches, ordering, planning, set-up etc. Everything from beginning to end. All you have to do
is take a look at the
menu's and tell us what you want, or give us a
call to discuss. If you leave the menu item choices to us, we will try to
supply a well rounded selection of various items (sandwiches etc.) or you may
give us 'general directives' to follow with the selections. Restaurant's & BYO are also an option.
Your private lunch concierge is always available by phone or email to discuss your tour
lunches with you.

A private
Tour Guide - a partial tour guide (default) is available automatically.
Or a

'Recession
Wine Tour'
-
$50-$110/hour, for 1-14 ppl. Additional costs apply with additional ppl.
If you do not need all the
planning & preparations done for you, then we offer the discounted 'Recession

although our tour staff is available by phone or email to discuss your tour with
you; your group is responsible for all the planning and preparations
(making winery appts. if necessary etc.) for your tour. No tour
concierge, lunch concierge or tour guide are available.
We offer the 'driver & limo only'. Bottom line - YOU are
ultimately responsible for the success of your tour.
With the 'Recession Wine Tour', we offer with your tour confirmation:
|
A comprehensive list of wineries
with route suggestions.
We also give you additional information about the wineries and tour, available

For our 'Recession Wine Tour',
since there is not a concierge option, and winery appointments may be necessary, this would be your groups responsibility. FYI - for most wineries, as a general
rule, any groups over 8 require an appointment. But winery rules vary
vastly, and you should contact each winery separately to find out their specific
requirements. To view pricing
