Every tour is different! Each of our tours is thoughtfully curated to satisfy the personal wine preferences and expectations of our guests. Preferred varietals and/or wine styles, level of interest in education, and how one prioritizes purchasing wine are just a few of the details we consider while designing your unique Coastal Concierge experience.

Appointments are not required in advance for groups with less than 6 guests, therefore which wineries you visit will be discussed with your guide during your tour.

Our Reserve Wine Tour is an exception to this, as two private (not open to the public) experiences are guaranteed with the tour regardless of group size. For Reserve Wine Tour guests or groups of 6 or more (any tour type) appointments will be coordinated in advance. Itinerary details for these tours are available upon request.

Absolutely! We will make every effort to accommodate your requests. Please note that all requests are subject to availability, and appointments at wineries that are not open to the public are only guaranteed for our Reserve Wine Tour guests.

We provide an individually boxed picnic lunch, which includes:

• Organic grilled chicken breast
• Spinach pesto pasta salad
• Green salad (groups of 7 or more only)
• Cheese board
• Fresh fruit
• Sliced baguette (baked fresh daily)
• WINE IS NOT PROVIDED, but is available for purchase
• Bottled water is provided for all guests throughout the day

Please note that the lunch offerings are subject to change without notice. The picnic lunch may be substituted (without notice) for restaurant lunch in the event of unfavorable weather.

Yes. We can provide a vegetarian lunch at no additional cost to the guest. We offer the following modifications for an additional $10 per person:

• Vegan

• Poached salmon in place of chicken

If a guest has a nut allergy (or other severe allergy), a restaurant lunch will be provided as we cannot guarantee food preparation. The tour will be discounted accordingly. Please contact us regarding any other dietary restrictions/allergies and we will make every effort to accommodate.
