The Original Wine Tour Company in Asheville!
Asheville is one of the top tourist destinations in the country. For good reason too! From staring in movies, to being the home of the Biltmore Estate, it has countless attractions for every visitor. Asheville is a hub of art, culture, nature, adventure, amazing food, local breweries and a number of high quality wineries. There are some great urban wineries and tasting rooms inside the city; however, the vineyards just outside of the city are true gems of the area. Woven into the natural beauty of Western North Carolina, most of the vineyards are about 45-50 minutes outside the city limits.
Why burden yourself with driving, when you can have someone else do it for you? One of the best ways to visit the wineries around Asheville is to hire a professional tour company for safe, reliable and comfortable transportation. Asheville Wine Tours is operated by Van in Black, the premier local transportation company providing luxury service. Climb aboard our Mercedes-Benz luxury SUV’s or larger Euro-style vans and let our professional guides show you everything this wonderful area has to offer.
We are so much more than a shuttle, Asheville Wine Tours has certified wine experts on staff (WSET and CMS) and has access to elevated experiences at select wineries that nobody else can offer. The vehicles provide the highest level of comfort, from massage chairs in select SUVs to stadium or limo seating in our luxury vans. All of our tours are completely custom and we provide door-to-door service, ensuring that none of your guests needs to be a designated driver. As your tour is private, you will never need to worry about sharing your vehicle with other tourists or worry about your tour being cancelled for lack of participation. Experience the VIP treatment and book your Asheville Wine Tour with the best provider in the region.
What Makes Asheville Wine Tours Unique:
- We know wine and have the certificates to prove it! We have experts on staff that have been certified by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) and the US Court of Master Sommeliers.
- All of our tours are custom! We don’t have “cookie-cutter” or “one size fits all” offerings. Wine means different things to different people so your experience in the area should be unique. It will absolutely “Wow!” you and your friends.
- We can handle ANY sized group! From an intimate tour for two or up to a group of 100+ people, our fleet can accommodate your needs. We also won’t ever cancel a tour due to lack of participation or not meeting a minimum headcount for a tour.
- Our fleet is luxurious! Most of our vehicles are Mercedes-Benz that include SUVs, vans, executive shuttles, and even limousine vans that feel like a living room on wheels. We may also be the only tour company to offer an upscale electric vehicle as an option.
- We have the relationships! We know the area vineyards and can setup elevated experiences that nobody else can touch. Do you want to meet the winemaker? We can make that happen. Do you want to tour the barrel room and taste wine directly from the barrels? We can arrange that too! How about adding a picnic full of hand selected Asheville products? If you can dream it we can probably help make it a reality. We have curated some unbelievable experiences at vineyards and we would be happy to set something up for you and your group as well.
- Our tours are door-to-door! No one in your group will have to worry about being the DD. We come to you so that nobody has to drive after they have spent the day enjoying wine.
- We are legal! Since we confirm to all of the state and federal regulations, you can enjoy your wine purchases between stops in our professionally chauffeured “for hire” vehicles.
