Private Big Bus and Driver
The whole crew, one bus, one driver, zero designated-driver arguments. You plan the day; we make sure everyone is on it together.
Big days need a big bus
Work celebrations, milestone birthdays, family reunions, wedding guests with a free day: when the group photo needs a wide lens, splitting into car-loads ruins the point. Big bus and driver hire keeps everyone together for up to seven hours in the local area, on an itinerary that is entirely yours: the cellar doors you want, the lunch spot you have booked, the pace your crew actually enjoys.
How it works
- You plan the venues, the tastings and how long you spend at each
- Transport and a professional driver are included; no self-drives
- Up to 7 hours in the local area
- Passengers 2 to 11: from $950 per group · 12 to 20: from $1250
- Bigger than 20? Ask us; bigger groups are welcome
- Wine tour costs and lunch are yours to choose and pay directly
- Not sure where to start? Ask about our preset tours from $30pp
Bring the kids?
Private tours welcome children, but notice of ages must be given at the time of booking.
Very important: for those wishing to bring children on your wine tour, please read.
- No children under 3.
- If your child is required to be in a child car seat in your family car, your child must be in a child car seat in our tour vehicles, unless they are 7 years or older.
- We are not a route service. The general safety rules that apply in your family vehicle apply to our passenger bus hires.
- HV Tours does not provide children's car seats. Car seats are BYO.
Please do not ask for your child to sit on your lap. A refusal from us can sometimes offend people, and it is not our intention to offend anyone. It makes us sad to refuse anyone, but safety and safe practices must and will be followed.

Celebrating a wedding?
Hens and bucks have their own day built for the job: the Pre-Wedding Celebration Tour.
No drinks on the bus
RSA rules apply on board. The cellar doors more than make up for it.
Smaller crew?
Six or fewer travel neatly on the Small Bus and Driver from $750.
