Fredericksburg Wine Tour Pricing: What It Actually Costs

Here’s exactly what a private Fredericksburg wine tour costs, based on group size and vehicle type. No hidden fees, no packages, you book the hours you need.

Pricing by Vehicle

Vehicle	Capacity	Hourly Rate	Minimum
Luxury SUV	Up to 6 guests	$95/hour + 20% gratuity	6 hours (Fri-Sun), 5 hours (Mon-Thu)
Mercedes S560	Up to 2 guests	$145/hour + 20% gratuity	6 hours (Fri-Sun), 5 hours (Mon-Thu)
Mercedes Sprinter	7 to 14 guests	$145/hour + 20% gratuity	6 hours (Fri-Sun), 5 hours (Mon-Thu)

Airport runs are flat rate instead of hourly: SUV (2-4 passengers) is $275 flat plus gratuity, Sprinter (7-14 passengers) is $450 plus 20% gratuity. No airport runs are available Friday through Sunday. A luggage trailer is available for $150. Prices are subject to change.

What’s Included

• A professional chauffeur who stays with your group the entire tour
• A vehicle built for comfort, not a shared shuttle seat
• Help planning your route, we know all 60+ wineries in the area
• Door-to-door pickup and drop-off, no meeting at a central lot

Not included: winery tasting fees ($15 to $35 per person per stop, paid directly to each winery) and gratuity for your driver.

Private Tour vs. Shared Wine Shuttle

A shared shuttle like the 290 Wine Shuttle runs a fixed route on a schedule you don’t control, with strangers on board and stops the shuttle picks, not you. It’s a reasonable budget option if you’re solo or a couple and don’t mind giving up control of the day.

A private tour means the vehicle is yours for the hours you book. You pick the wineries, the pace, and the stops. There’s no waiting for a shuttle that’s running behind, and no sharing the ride with people outside your group. For groups of three or more, the per-person cost of a private tour often lands close to what a shared shuttle charges per seat, with none of the tradeoffs.
