Planning notes

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
