Tour Guiding Options*
Guiding options include:

1. No tour guide - (default on all 'recession wine tours') Your driver will have a fair amount of winery/wine country knowledge and will be able to discuss many subjects and answer questions. No narrative.
2. Partial tour guide (is standard on all tours except the 'Recession Wine Tour') - Full service tours are done with a 'partial tour guide' and is complimentary.  The guide is also your driver and therefore, for safety reasons, will not be available to give narrative while driving.  Your chauffeur/guide will give winery intro's when reaching the wineries (If wineries are known beforehand and changes do not occur; otherwise intro's are not guaranteed. Also, winery intro's will  not be possible where an internet connection is not available). Your guide will also have a good amount of winery/wine country knowledge and will be able to discuss many wine/winery related subjects. To recap; your chauffeur/guide is not allowed to give narrative while driving, but if possible, will give winery intro's, discuss the wine country and answer questions. See 'Full tour guide' below.

1. Full tour guide** - Full service tours are done with a 'full tour guide' on request. This service option is for a 'continuous' narrative guide which will give winery intro's, and additional information discussing the specific wine tour areas and topics*. He/she will also take care of serving lunch, pouring wine, opening wine/sparkling wine bottles, wine tasting room intro's etc. Available for tour bus (automatically) and our 14 passenger limo bus.  Additional costs apply for the limo bus ($25/HOUR). Full tour guide is not available for groups of 8 or less, unless the 14 pass limo bus is ordered. If you would like a full tour guide, please order one.

* Your full tour guide will not be a Sommelier and therefore is NOT a wine 'expert', but he/she will be knowledgeable about wine country and will discuss many related topics in wine and particularly wine country. Specific/ detailed questions about each wineries wine and winery are best handled by the specific winery tasting room staff.
