How To Plan The Perfect Hens Winery Tour!

The best part about organising a private hens winery tour? No one has to be the designated driver – winning! We can’t tell you what a difference this makes – having heard countless stories of groups who decided to rent a bus and do it themselves, with one of the pregnant guests – or even sometimes the hens dad – roped in to drive the bus all day – yawn! Firstly, the hen really isn’t going to be able to let her hair down and have a few (and a few more) vino’s if she knows that her dad is going to be there – not that dad’s aren’t cool – they just aren’t ‘posing with a bottle of rosé whilst holding your tiara and screaming I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!' kind of cool. Opting for a professional driver will mean that everyone – even those who do only want a few wines through to those who want to completely make the most of it – will feel comfortable and like VIP’s getting chauffeured around for the day. Not to mention, having a hens winery tour driver means having someone on board who can recommend the best place to stop along the way for a selfie overlooking the vineyards and can help recommend somewhere that isn't a detour when Aunty Karen needs an unexpected loo stop along the way – so much win!

Oh so many times have we been asked to save a poor maid of honour who has mistakenly booked what seemed like a cheap and cheerful hens winery tour, only to realise that it a bus and a driver literally driving you around to the public car parks of a selection of wineries, and waiting in the bus on his phone whilst your group are left to yourselves to disembark and join the public cellar door queues – because everyone wants to be stuck behind 75 tourists with their selfie sticks and their bumbling foreign guide and hear about wine in shoved groups of 30 people, right? Wrong! This is your hens one and only hens party and she deserves the best. With all of our My Ultimate Hens winery tour options, and with any company you are looking at booking with, it is imperative that you check that you are actually going on a winery tour – that is, you are pre-booked into VIP tastings at each of the wineries you are going to during the day – that the wineries are not only expecting your group, but are prepared with a VIP tasting space and a private wine connoisseur to take you through an expert tasting, are ready to make sure the hen gets lots of special attention and so all that your group needs to do is to enjoy tasting lots of bubbles, reds, whites and rosé's – without some random members of the public trying to bustle their way in or ask thousands of boring questions – remember, not all hens winery tour options were created equal, so it really pays to do your research!
