Scheduled Tours
A Bon Vivant scheduled day tour is perfect for one person, a couple, or even a small group.
Your tour will be shared with other guests, usually no more than 10 guests per tour. (If you’re planning for more than 10, contact us for a custom tour!) Keeping the group size small enables our boutique wineries to provide you with full attention and to be able to answer all your questions about their winemaking expertise, enhancing your experience. And just think of the new friends you’ll make, as together you visit the tasting rooms.
The day starts with a call from your Bon Vivant Wine Tour Guide reconfirming pick up time and location, typically a downtown Seattle or Eastside hotel or Airbnb. On the way to the first tasting experience, your tour guide will regale you with interesting information about the Washington wine industry, and what you can expect during the day. One of the fun things is that your tour will be curated to accommodate the palates of that day’s tour guests.
At the first stop, you will visit one of Washington’s larger wineries. This will give you the overall picture of Washington’s wine making history. FYI, tasting fees for each of the wineries will run from $20-$40 per person.
Following the large winery visit, you will visit 2 boutique wineries or tasting rooms. Note that these are small wineries, and their wines may not be available at your favorite wine shop back home. We encourage you to buy a bottle or two, or 12. Besides having a tasty reminder of your fun wine touring day, most wineries will waive part or all of the tasting fee with purchases. Wines purchased can be safely stowed in the coach.
At the second stop, and at one of the smaller wineries, you will be able to order lunch to enjoy while tasting wine, you’ll want to budget $20-$40 per person.
Following your delightful day, your tour guide will return you and your party to your point of departure between 4:30 and 5:00.
