Note: Elevated Hike & Wine Tours feature wineries that are very small, exclusive and by-appointment-only. Most have higher tasting fees (e.g. $75+/person), and it is expected that you would purchase at least 2-3 bottles/person ($40 - $150/bottle). If you're looking for a more casual wine tasting experience, check out our classic Hike & Wine Tours.
