Why couples love it

- Your way: add a scenic lookout, a garden walk or an artisan chocolate stop between tastings.
- Peace of mind: your professional driver handles the winding roads and the parking.
- Secure storage: every bottle or case you buy stays safe in the vehicle.
- Local knowledge: we'll suggest hidden-gem cellar doors and the best lunch spots with a view.

Bring the kids?

Very important: for those wishing to bring children on your wine tour, please read.
- For children under 3, please call us.
- 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.
