What are you celebrating?
A private day shaped around the people and moment that matter.
The best celebration does not feel like a standard package. It feels thoughtfully chosen for the guest of honor and easy for the person organizing it.
Anniversaries
Mark the years together with beautiful scenery, good wine, and time to enjoy the people who have shared the journey.
Retirements
Honor a career and the next chapter with a relaxed outing built around conversation, recognition, and a well-earned toast.
Family & Friend Reunions
Bring everyone together without asking one person to drive, coordinate reservations, or watch the clock.
Bridal Showers & Graduations
Create a polished daytime celebration before the next chapter begins, with room for photos, food, and meaningful conversation.
Just-Because Gatherings
Sometimes the reason is simply that your favorite people are together and everyone deserves an easy day away.
A look at private celebrations
Good wine. Comfortable transportation. Time to be together.
Built for the person planning it
Celebrate the milestone—not the logistics.
A private wine country day involves more than reserving a vehicle. Vineyard Voyages helps connect the route, timing, venues, food, transportation, and group flow.
Meet at a home, hotel, office, or central location that works for the group.
Vehicle selection is matched to the final guest count and desired level of comfort.
Partner wineries are recommended based on atmosphere, food, scenery, timing, and availability.
The schedule is coordinated so the day feels relaxed rather than rushed.
Tastings, lunch, charcuterie, and dietary considerations can be added when selected in the proposal.
A Certified Tourism Ambassador helps the group transition smoothly between each part of the day.
Choose the style of celebration
A day that feels right for the guest of honor.

Private celebration questions
Helpful details before you begin.
What types of celebrations do you host?
Vineyard Voyages can help plan milestone birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, bridal showers, graduations, reunions, visiting-friend gatherings, and other private occasions.
What group sizes can Vineyard Voyages accommodate?
Private tours can accommodate approximately 4 to 36 guests. The vehicle and itinerary are matched to the final group size and the needs of the celebration.
How far in advance should we plan?
Planning about one month in advance is recommended, especially for popular weekends, larger groups, or celebrations involving coordinated tastings and food. Shorter-notice requests may be possible based on availability.
How long does a private celebration usually last?
Most private experiences run between four and eight hours. A shorter outing generally supports fewer venues, while a longer day allows more time for tastings, food, photographs, and a relaxed pace.
Can we choose our pickup location and wineries?
Private groups can request a custom pickup and drop-off location and may select from Vineyard Voyages partner wineries, subject to availability, travel time, group policies, and the flow of the proposed itinerary.
Are wine tastings and meals automatically included?
No. Private proposals are customized. Tastings, lunch, charcuterie, catering, and other enhancements are included only when selected and confirmed in the final proposal.
Can dietary restrictions and non-drinkers be accommodated?
Dietary restrictions can often be accommodated with advance notice. Most partner wineries offer non-alcoholic choices, and selected routes may also incorporate a partner brewery or cidery when requested.
What happens if it rains?
Experiences operate rain or shine. Vineyard Voyages works with partner venues that have welcoming tasting rooms and indoor spaces, helping the group remain comfortable when the weather changes.
Can we bring a cake, decorations, or gifts?
Share your ideas before the tour so we can confirm what is practical and permitted by the assigned vehicle and selected wineries. Venue rules and storage needs vary, so these details must be approved in advance.
Can guests drink alcohol aboard the vehicle?
Alcohol is generally not permitted aboard the vehicle. There will be plenty to enjoy at the wineries, and keeping alcohol off the vehicle helps ensure a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable day for everyone.
Does completing the guide form reserve our date?
No. The form requests the planning guide and provides information for follow-up. A date is secured only after availability is confirmed, the proposal is approved, and the required deposit is received.
