About the Tours

Wine-o-Wagon

The Wine-O-Wagon. It is an open-air wooden wagon with a roof, pulled by a red tractor. In this photo it is parked in front of a vineyard.

What's Included:

On each Wine-o-Wagon tour, a comfortable shuttle bus picks you up at your chosen pick up location and takes you to meet the Wine-O-Wagon at the first winery. From there you will travel to two more wineries and a stop for lunch on a cool wagon that has cushioned seats, a roof to shade you from the hot sun while enjoying the fresh air, and a cooler full of ice water. At the end of the day, a shuttle bus will transport you and your wine back to where you started.

$190.00 per person on Saturdays & Sundays. Available to book from May through October.

We tour three wineries, pay all tasting fees, and pay for your lunch! *To make booking simpler for your party, make sure you know each person’s lunch choice before you start filling out your reservation. (See menu below)
