FAQs
Common Questions
Do I need wine knowledge to enjoy these tours?
Not at all. Reggie designs for curious people, not experts. If you love to eat, drink, and learn — you'll fit right in. Past travelers have ranged from total beginners to wine professionals.
What's the physical activity level like?
Moderate. Expect walking, some stairs, and the occasional vineyard hike. Each tour page includes detailed logistics so you know exactly what to prepare for before you book.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?
Yes — this is part of the planning process, not an afterthought. Let Reggie know when you inquire and she'll make sure meals are designed around your needs.
How do deposits and payments work?
A deposit holds your spot. You can break the remaining balance into installments at your own pace — final payment is due 3 months before departure. Payment options include check, Venmo, Zelle, credit card, or PayPal (card and PayPal add a 3.5% processing fee).
Is travel insurance required?
It's not required, but it's strongly recommended — especially for international trips with multiple connections. Reggie works with a trusted provider.
Can I travel solo?
Absolutely. Solo travelers are a big part of what makes these trips work — it's one of the best ways to meet people who share your interests. Many past travelers have come alone and left with lasting friendships.
What do I need to know about passport and EU travel requirements?
Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date and issued within the last 10 years. By late 2026, US travelers to Europe will also need ETIAS registration and biometric check-in at EU borders. Each tour page includes a full pre-trip checklist.
Is there a packing guide?
Yes. Every tour includes a downloadable packing guide with what to bring, luggage limits, weather by region, adapter needs, and tips for traveling with wine.
Do you offer customized tours?
Yes, Reggie designs custom itineraries for wineries, wine clubs, and corporate groups looking for something built around their interests — not a template. Let's talk →
