Frequently asked questions

Most frequent questions and answers

Our wine tasting tours often involve boarding a cable car trolley, walking through wineries, and visiting tasting rooms so it's best to wear comfortable and casual clothing for the season. Opt for layers, as temperatures in south Santa Clara County wine country can vary throughout the day.
