How long of a day is it?

 

Tours start around 11:30 a.m. (exact pickup time will be listed in your confirmation email) and we usually return sometime between 5:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. depending on the size of the group and how busy the wineries are.

 

What’s not included?

 

Lunch is paid for on your own, plan on somewhere between $5 and $16 per person. We normally have lunch at a winery, micro-brewery, or non-chain cafe. Tour guide gratuity is not required, but definitely appreciated!

 

What’s included?

 

    • Pick up locations throughout New Buffalo and St. Joseph.
    • A stress-free day—no maps, GPS, or arguments.
    • Transportation to and from your hotel/pick up location to wine country on a comfortable coach bus.
    • An awesome tour guide who will teach you all about viticulture and winemaking.
    • Tasting fees at all the wineries (over a $50.00 value).

 

What should we expect?

Every tour will visit wineries and have a lunch stop. You will join others who are looking to have a good time as well, so be prepared to socialize! We normally limit tours to a maximum of 14 people. You will have time for wine tasting, gift shopping, and to sit down and relax a bit. You will be outside most of the day, so dress accordingly! Do not expect a "booze cruise."
