It’s that time of year again where people want to get outside and experience all of the beauty that mother nature is about to throw at us. I hope I don’t eat my words and the snow flies again, let’s hope not! With that arrival of spring questions pop up about or winery and brewery tours. So here are some common questions.:
How many passengers can you accommodate? 10
Can we drink in the van? No. We are a tour service, and we want you to experience what the vintners and brewers are making at their locations. And we do our best for you to spend as little time as possible in the van so you wouldn’t have any time to drink anything else. The way our tours are set up you will get plenty to drink at each location.
Are drinks included in the tour? No. We really try to keep our costs as low as possible so you can spend your money on what you want to spend your money on at each stop. If we included drinks at each stop the cost of our tours would go through the roof. Many services that offer this service are just passing the cost of drinks off to you at cost and no discount, because the state of Ohio doesn’t allow alcohol to be discounted.
Can we tell you where to go? Absolutely, if you tell me where to go, I will definitely make that work. I’m very flexible, but once we tell a place we are coming we need to make sure we visit because they usually bring in extra staff when they know they have large groups coming in.
Can you plan a tour for us? Absolutely. 90% of our trips are from itineraries we create, and we have created lots of them.
Can kids come along? Sure thing, most of our stops are kid friendly and we will try to plan all of the stops so the little ones can be accommodated.
Where do you pickup? We will pick you up at your home, lodging or your designated pickup location and of course drop you off there.
I have a small group but still want to do a tour? We offer ticketed tours throughout the year where you can buy individual seats, follow our Facebook page for more details. We can also try and pair you with someone who also has a small group, but we cannot reserve or hold a day without a deposit being made to hold the day. We do have a waiting list of people and we will try and pair you with someone. Someday we hope to have multiple locations where we will start tours from, and you can buy individual seats and run the tours from that location on a frequent basis.
What time do you start your tours? If you book a four-hour tour, we will start early 11am or late between 4 and 5pm. We do this to try and do multiple tours in a day, but if no other tour is booked, we can base our start time on opening and closing times of our stops. If you book a six or eight-hour tour our start times are based on our stops opening times and closing times.
Do you do bachelor or bachelorette parties? Absolutely! We have so much fun planning those trips for parties. Hocking Hills Bachelorette parties are really popular right now and all of the stops loving having them in and treat them so well.
