Do I need to book a limo or bus for group wine tasting?

For groups of 6+, a wine tour shuttle, limo, or hired van is strongly recommended. It eliminates the need for a designated driver and many wineries look favorably on groups that arrive by professional transport. Expect to pay $50-150 per person for a full-day tour.

How many wineries can a group visit in a day?

Most groups comfortably visit 3-4 wineries in a full day. Factor in travel time between stops (15-30 minutes), tasting time (45-60 minutes each), and a lunch break. Starting early (10-11 AM) gives you the most flexibility.
