Group Wine Tours: How to Plan the Perfect Day with Friends in Austin
Austin is known for its vibrant nightlife, lively arts scene, and, of course, its great wine! If you’re planning a bachelorette weekend getaway or looking for a unique activity with friends, a private group wine tour offers an unforgettable experience. Here’s how to plan the perfect day in the beautiful wine regions close to Austin, like Dripping Springs.
The Right Transportation: Transportation is crucial for a successful wine trip. ATX Tours adjusts the vehicle type according to your needs, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout your journey.
Planning Your Itinerary
When it comes to your wine tour, flexibility is key. ATX Tours offers two packages that allow you to customize your experience:
1. Half Day Package: $109 per person
- 4 hours of fun
- Visit 2 venues
- Tastings fees are included
2. Full Day Package: $149 per person
- 6 hours of enjoyment
- Visit 3 venues
- Tastings fees are included
Groups enjoy the freedom of choosing their own wineries or can opt for recommendations from our experienced tour guides.
The Importance of a Group
A minimum of 6 participants is required for booking a private trip that allows for per-person pricing. If your group has fewer than 6, we offer hourly trips with a chauffeured vehicle to transport you to your chosen venues.*
The Wine Experience
With your group together in a private vehicle, you’ll enjoy an exclusive setting to relax and connect. You can bring your own playlist to vibe to, creating the perfect party atmosphere as you travel between wineries.
In the scenic hills of Dripping Springs, you’ll discover unique offerings. Although we don’t emphasize any specific wineries, the regions like Fredericksburg are known for their exquisite varieties and charming settings—ideal for savoring both the wine and the moment.
Additional Considerations
When planning your group wine tour, keep these points in mind:
- Headcount: Provide us with an accurate headcount 3 days before your trip. This helps ensure a seamless experience.
- Deposit and Balance: A non-refundable deposit of $150 is required at the time of booking, applied to your total. The remaining balance is due 2 days prior.
- Pick-Up Area: ATX Tours offers a door-to-door service. If you’re within 15 minutes of JW Marriott Austin, there are no additional charges for pickup. A small fee may apply for extended distances.
The Perfect Mix of Fun and Flexibility: While our packages do not include meals, you have the opportunity to extend your trip. Add a meal stop for a small surcharge based on your vehicle type and additional hours. Remember to consider attendees even if they don’t participate in tastings, but we offer discounted rates for those opting out.
