Build the itinerary from confirmed reservations, then group stops by location and allow enough time for meals, purchases, and a comfortable return.
Planning notes
- Share confirmed appointment times
- Choose a vehicle for the full party
- Recheck time-sensitive details before departure
Hotels, dining, and pickup planning
Hotel and restaurant stops can anchor the day, but they should be timed around tasting reservations. Share the exact property entrance or preferred pickup point with dispatch.
Planning notes
- Hot-air ballooning
- Hiking / biking / outdoors
- Connolly Ranch
Chauffeur, parking, and safety
A prearranged chauffeur removes the need for a tasting guest to drive and avoids relying on last-minute rideshare availability in rural areas. The vehicle stays available for the agreed service window while the chauffeur handles estate access, parking, and the safe return.
Planning notes
- Never drink and drive
- Keep the group’s return plan confirmed
- Tell dispatch about mobility needs or bulky purchases
