Think that Napa was the first place to produce wines in California? Think again! San Diego County is where wineries and viticulture (the science, production, and study of grapes) began in the Golden State!
Let us do the driving and you do the drinking! This tour includes visits to local, family run vineyards with your knowledgeable and passionate guide to teach you about the process of winemaking, and a delicious winery dinner. You’ll learn about the history of the wineries and about San Diego’s role in creating a booming California wine culture.
This is our premier tour with the most wine and food of all of our tours, AND it includes door-to-door transportation from your hotel or home (most San Diego locations).
On this fun and educational tour, you’ll get ample wine tastings paired with food and tour the actual vineyards with your expert guide. You’ll enjoy scenic bay and mountain views on this picture perfect tour.
Join us for a VIP adventure and “Vine to Glass” experience!
Enjoy more wine and fun on the VIP Chauffeured Vineyard Adventure! It’s our most elevated, deluxe experience.
The differences between the Chauffeured Vineyard Adventure and the Winery Train Tour are the mode of transportation and where we go. On the Chauffeured Adventure, we provide door-to-door transportation and take you to wineries with vineyards.
On the Winery Train Tour (not currently available), we take you to Urban Wineries where they make the wine, but don’t grow the grapes (no vineyards), and we get there on the public train.
This tour is perfect for singles, couples, groups… anyone! No matter who you come with (even if you come alone), you’ll make new friends.
You can choose non-alcoholic drinks instead of the wine/beer. You will get to participate in all the wonderful food, gifts, presentations, and guided tours. Published tour ticket prices apply.
Gratuities for your tour guide, although not required, are always appreciated. Industry standard is 20% of your tour ticket price which comes to about $30 per person.
The Chauffeured Vineyards Adventure is all inclusive with your wine, food, door-to-door transportation, entertainment, and expert guided tour starting at only $184.44 per person. This does not include fees or tour guide gratuity.
Most of our guests pre-pay tour guide gratuity (industry standard is 20%) which is $37 per person.
