At the conclusion of an enjoyable wine tour experience, it is customary to express your appreciation for your guide's exceptional service. A gratuity is a meaningful way to recognize their dedication to making your tour engaging and memorable.

In the wine tourism industry, a typical tip is generally recommended to range between 10% to 15% of the total ticket price. This range ensures that your gesture aligns with the level of service you received. Whether your guide adeptly shared their knowledge about the wines, provided insights into the winemaking process, or simply created a delightful atmosphere, your tip serves as a token of gratitude.

Ultimately, the decision of how much to tip rests with you, considering both the quality of service and your personal satisfaction. Your generosity contributes to the continued excellence of wine tours and encourages guides to provide exceptional experiences for all guests.

We ask that everyone who comes on our tours to show up rested, respectful & sober. We strive to entertain, educate, and give all of our guests the best wine tour experience possible.
