Planning your day with Buzz’d Buzz Tours? Here’s what you need to know:
​
Where do pick-ups and drop-offs happen?
If you are within 20 miles of the winery region, we’ll pick you up right at your door. Otherwise, we’ll coordinate a convenient meeting location based on your tour and accommodations.
​
Is lunch included?
Lunch is not included in the tour price, but we’ll gladly stop wherever you’d like to eat — whether that’s a restaurant or a winery with picnic spots. You’re welcome to bring a small cooler with food, and we provide water and light snacks to keep you comfortable throughout the day.
​
Which wine regions do you visit?
We primarily explore the Gold Country wine region, including Murphys, Sonora, Amador, and the Shenandoah Valley. We also offer trips to the Lodi wine area and, on special request, we may be able to accommodate a visit to Napa Valley.
​
How do I book a tour?
Fill out our online request form and be sure your contact information is accurate. We’ll follow up to confirm details and itinerary. A 50% deposit is required to reserve your date, with the remaining balance due at the end of your trip.
​
What is your cancellation policy?
-
Cancellations made 7 or more days before your scheduled tour will receive a full refund.
-
Cancellations made within 6 days of the tour will receive a 50% refund.
-
Cancellations made within 48 hours of the tour are non-refundable.

No-shows will be charged the full booking amount.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards. (We’re also partial to vintage VW buses in trade, but that’s another story.)
​
What does a typical day look like?
Most of our tours are around 5 hours: 2-3 winery visits and a stop for lunch. We aim for a relaxed pace with plenty of time to sip, snack, and enjoy the scenery — but we’re happy to adjust the schedule to fit your group’s preferences. (Additional hours can be booked at a per hour rate of $100.)
​
How many people can the van accommodate?
Our VW ID. Buzz seats up to 5 passengers (plus our driver) in individual leather seats. It’s the perfect size for a cozy, comfortable group outing — without feeling cramped.
​
Can we choose the music?
Absolutely! You’re in control of the vibe. Connect your phone to the Buzz's Bluetooth and play whatever gets your group in the wine-tasting spirit.
​
Can we bring wine back with us?
Of course! We have room for your bottles, cases, and any other goodies you pick up along the way. Just please drink responsibly — wine purchases are for later, not the ride home.
​
Can we drink alcohol in the van?
Local regulations don’t allow alcohol consumption in the vehicle during the tour. But don’t worry — there will be plenty of sipping at the wineries!
​
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain or shine, the tour goes on! Our all-electric Buzz is cozy and climate-controlled, so you’ll stay comfortable no matter what Mother Nature has planned. If weather conditions are truly unsafe, we’ll work with you to reschedule.
​
Can kids or pets come along?
Yes, we’re happy to have your family along if you'd like to bring them! Please note that anyone under 21 won’t be able to participate in wine tasting. We are sorry but we do not allow pets on board.
