Transportation

Travel in class and comfort in our luxury wine country vans. Air conditioning, spacious seating, large 360-degree viewing windows, water, snacks and a state-of-the-art sound system are featured in each vehicle.

Van Seating & Spacing Details

Our vans have either  7, 11, or 14 seat capacity for public tours and we often operate at full capacity, especially on the weekends. Currently, due to COVID, we have capped our public tour capacity to 10 guests in our 11 passenger Sprinter van and 12 guests in our 14 passenger Transit van. Adjacent seating is not guaranteed for your entire party. Due to COVID, we ask that guests refrain from sitting in the front seat next to the driver unless they are prone to motion sickness.

Please keep personal belongings to 1 bag per person & be aware that the belongings might need to sit on your lap if they do not fit underneath the seat for the duration of the tour. Please call our office directly if you have any questions.

You can opt to purchase additional seats in order to meet the following criteria:*

  • You must be able to properly attach, buckle and wear the seat belt whenever the vehicle is in motion as required by California law.
  • You must not significantly encroach upon the adjacent seating space.
  • If you are traveling with substantial luggage and/or for comfort reasons would like more space. 
  • If you are bringing a service animal that needs their own seat; please review our Service Animal Policy and then call our office at (805) 884-9283.
  • If you are traveling with a young child and need a car seat.

    *Additional seats are priced at a non-drinker rate; meaning they are the advertised price of the tour minus $25/seat. 

If you do not purchase an additional seat but upon pick-up on the morning of your tour are unable to sit within your designated seat in the van, you will be requested to purchase an additional seat; if additional seats are not available on the morning of your tour we can work to reschedule you but can not guarantee availability within the week. We strongly encourage you to reach out to our office ahead of the tour if you feel you are going to need additional seats/space in the van to guarantee availability. 

Van Cleaning Fee Policy

If your party is responsible for any spillage, excessive mess or vomiting in the tour van, we will invoice your party an additional charge of $150. We reserve the right to bill customers for any detailing charges that become necessary AND vehicle rental fees if necessary that result from customer spillage and/or vomiting. Our drivers have motion sickness bags available in the vans for guests if needed; we encourage you to be proactive in mentioning at the time of booking if anyone in the van is prone to motion sickness & requesting support on the morning of your tour.

Large groups options

Large groups can either opt to travel separately in multiple of our vans, or if being together is preferred, we work often with Airbus and Pegasus.
