FAQ

Q: Are wine tours available during the week?

A: Yes, we do wine tours 7 days a week. Our M-F tours are discounted *please note that all wineries are not always open 7 days per week

Q: How does a pirate wine tour work?

A: After you ‘request a quote’ and a vehicle and trail have been selected, our luxury vehicle will pick up your group at the location of your choice. We arrange your itinerary with the wineries and any other activity you have scheduled so they are prepared to serve you when you arrive in your private stretch limousine, limo-bus or stretch SUV. You will visit 3 or 4 wineries of your choice and return you to the same pick-up location. Your time starts when we pick you up and ends at the last drop-off.

Q: How many wineries can we visit during our tour?

A: Usually 3 wineries with an average time of 1 hour at each winery. This also takes into account purchasing wine and time to use the restroom before heading to the next winery. Your driver will (try) keep you on schedule.

Q: Who picks the wineries?

A: You may choose the wineries or we can assist by mapping out a trail for you, so as to keep the drive time minimal.

Q: Can we bring our own alcohol on board the vehicle?

A: We would prefer you did not bring any alcohol as this is a wine tasting tour. Keep in mind, visiting 3 wineries, tasting 6-10 wines @ 1 ounces each, is equal to about a quart of wine. Drinking water between wineries is your best option to maximize your experience and enjoy the award winning wines of New Jersey. NJ law prevents bringing alcohol inside wineries and breweries.”

Q: Are tasting fees included in the transportation price quoted?

A: No, if you are booking our basic 5-hour wine tasting tour.

Q: Are all your tours 5 hours?

A: No, depending on the activity you add to the basic package, your tour could be 6, 7 or even 8 hours with additional hourly rates with vehicle.

Q: What happens if we run overtime?

A: Overtime is an option as long as the vehicle is not reserved for another event immediately following your tour. It is best to schedule the extra time if you think you might need it. However additional hourly rates do apply

Q: Can the drop-off location be different than our pick-up location?

A: Yes, you may be dropped at a restaurant or other residence as long as it is scheduled ahead of time.

Q: Guests that are not doing the tasting, will they be charged a tasting fee?

A: It depends on the winery and what they are offering. Some wineries will charge 1/2 price, some will not charge and others will charge the full tasting fee.

Q: How is payment arranged for wine tours and all other activities?

A: Transportation and sales tax can be paid by credit card, everything else (gratuity, dinner, spa fees etc) are either cash or check. Checks must be received one week before reservation date.

Q: What if we prefer to have entire payment on credit card?

A: Transportation can be paid by cash or credit card. Tasting fees and other activities are due in cash.

Q: Can customers creating a custom tour choose their own restaurant, painting class etc?
