Spend the day enjoying wine country instead of coordinating cars, directions, and designated drivers. Chariots For Hire provides private wine tour transportation for couples, friends, celebrations, corporate groups, and larger parties throughout Northern Virginia, Maryland, and the Washington, D.C. area.
Choose the wineries you want to visit, select a vehicle that fits your group, and let one of our professional chauffeurs handle the driving between stops. From luxury sedans and limousines to limo buses, shuttle buses, and motor coaches, your wine tour can be built around your group and your day.
Private Wine Tours Built Around Your Group
No two wine tours need to look exactly the same. Some groups want a quiet afternoon at two wineries. Others want a full day in wine country with friends, several tastings, lunch, and plenty of time between stops. Chariots For Hire lets you build the day around the experience you want.
Our wine tours are private and customizable. You choose your pickup location, the wineries you want to visit, and the vehicle that fits your group. If you are not sure where to begin, our wine tour team can help you narrow down the region and build a realistic schedule around your group size and available time.
Wine tasting reservations are made directly with the wineries, giving you control over the destinations and experiences included in your day. Once your itinerary begins taking shape, make your transportation reservation with Chariots For Hire and let us handle the road.

Choose the Right Chariot for Your Wine Tour
Your group size and the type of experience you want will help determine the best vehicle for the day. Chariots For Hire offers everything from private luxury transportation for couples and small groups to limo buses and motor coaches for larger outings.
Couples and Small Groups
A luxury sedan, SUV, or limousine works well for a more intimate wine tour. These options give smaller groups a private, comfortable way to travel between wineries without reserving more vehicle than they need.
Small and Mid-Size Groups
Limo buses give groups more room to travel together while adding the lighting, comfortable seating, audio, and social atmosphere many guests want for birthdays, bachelorette outings, anniversaries, and days with friends.

Larger Wine Tour Groups

Wine Tour Transportation FAQs
How long does a private wine tour usually last?
Most Chariots For Hire wine tours last about five to seven hours. That usually provides enough time for travel to wine country, tastings at a few wineries, and transportation back to your original pickup area without making the day feel rushed.
How many wineries can we visit in one day?
For groups of up to 15 people, we generally recommend planning two to three winery stops. For groups larger than 15, two wineries usually provide a more comfortable schedule because tastings, loading, unloading, and group movement take more time.
Do we need to make our own winery reservations?
Yes. Your group is responsible for contacting each winery and making its tasting reservations. Winery reservation policies and group requirements vary, so confirm your tasting times directly with each location before the day of your tour.
Chariots For Hire can help with regional recommendations, but the wineries themselves control tasting reservations.
Can Chariots For Hire help us decide which wineries to visit?
Yes. If you are not familiar with the area, our wine tour team can help you narrow down wineries based on the region you want to visit and the amount of time you have available.
You can also start with our guides to Northern Virginia wine tours, Maryland wine tours, or wine tours from Washington, D.C..
Can you pick up our wine tour group in Washington, D.C.?
Yes. Wine tour transportation can begin in Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, Maryland, and other locations throughout the DMV service area. Your pickup location should be included when making your reservation so travel time can be built into the itinerary.
How long does it take to reach Northern Virginia wine country from Washington, D.C.?
Travel from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to Northern Virginia wine country commonly takes about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your pickup point, winery destination, traffic, and the route for that particular day.
What type of vehicle should we choose for a wine tour?
The best vehicle depends primarily on your group size and the experience you want. Couples and smaller groups may prefer a luxury sedan, SUV, or limousine. Limo buses are popular with social groups, while shuttle buses and motor coaches can accommodate larger parties.
You can compare our fleet before making your reservation.
How much does a private wine tour cost?
Wine tour pricing depends on the vehicle and the amount of time you reserve it. Chariots For Hire publishes its current package pricing directly on this page so you can compare available options before booking.
What happens if our wine tour runs longer than planned?
If your day runs longer than the reserved time, additional time may be available at the vehicle’s current hourly rate, depending on vehicle availability. Winery closing times should also be considered when planning later stops.
Can we bring food on our wine tour?
Food options depend on your vehicle and plans for the day. If you want to bring food or arrange lunch during the tour, let our team know when making your reservation so you can confirm what works with your vehicle and itinerary.
Can we book a wine tour for a birthday, bachelorette party, or corporate outing?
Yes. Private wine tours work well for birthdays, anniversaries, bachelor and bachelorette outings, corporate groups, wedding weekend activities, friend groups, and other private celebrations. Because the transportation is reserved for your group, the vehicle and schedule can be selected around the occasion.
How do we reserve our wine tour transportation?
Start with your date, estimated group size, pickup location, and preferred wine region. Then complete the Chariots For Hire reservation form to begin booking your vehicle.
