★ Private Wine Tours
If there are four of you, most Fredericksburg tour companies will put you in a van with people you have never met. We will not. Our smallest booking is two guests and it is still a vehicle to yourself, on your schedule, going to the estates you chose.
★ How we are different
Most Fredericksburg operators only go private once you have ten or more people. Under that, you get put in a vehicle with strangers on somebody else's schedule. We do not run a single shared seat. Every vehicle we send out belongs to your group alone, whether there are two of you or fourteen.

| Private vehicle for a group of 4 | Always | Usually pooled with strangers |
| Minimum group size | 2 guests | Often 10 to go private |

★ Real numbers
Nobody else in this town publishes this, so here it is. These are set rates for the vehicle and driver for five hours. You pay your own tastings at each estate, which usually runs $15 to $25 a person per winery.
| How you ride | Group | Set rate |
|---|---|---|
| Designated Driver, we drive your vehicle | Up to 6 | $250 |
| Premium SUV or Ford Transit van | Up to 6 | $490 |
| Luxury Mercedes Sprinter | Up to 6 | $700 |
| Premium Ford Transit van | 7 to 10 | $600 |
| Luxury Mercedes Sprinter | 7 to 10 | $700 |
Six people on the designated driver option works out at about $42 each before tastings. Texas sales tax of 8.25 percent applies, and a 20 percent gratuity is added at six guests or more and goes straight to your driver. Want the tastings prepaid and the route already built? That is our all inclusive Fredericksburg day, from $102 a person.

We do not pour the wine, we get you to the people who do. Pick any three and we build the order, hold the timing and drive it. These are some of the places we run, and we will happily take you somewhere that is not on this list.

★ Questions
No. Every vehicle we run is private to your group, at every group size and every price. We do not sell individual seats. Several Fredericksburg operators only go private at ten or more guests and pool smaller groups together, which is exactly the thing we built around.
Our set rate starts at $250 for the vehicle and driver for five hours with up to six guests, which is about $42 a person. A premium van is $490 and the luxury Mercedes Sprinter is $700. If you want the tastings prepaid and the route already built, our all inclusive Fredericksburg day starts at $102 a person.
Three is comfortable in a five hour block, which is what most groups do. Four is possible if they sit close together on the 290 corridor. We would rather you sit down properly at three than rush four.
Wherever you are staying. Your Airbnb, hotel, rental house or a friend's place in or around Fredericksburg. There is no central meeting point and no parking to sort out.
Yes, and it is our most affordable option. If your group already has an SUV or van, a professional insured IDYR driver comes to you, drives it all day and hands the keys back. That is $250 for five hours with up to six guests.
Forty eight hours is the minimum and a week is comfortable for most weekends. Peak weekends and Fredericksburg festival dates need thirty days or more, because the estates themselves book out.
Private vehicle, professional driver, and a price you can see before you call anybody. Two guests or fourteen.
