All the wineries that we are exploring are following too the recommendations provided by the CDC and WHO, using all the imperative implementations in response to COVID-19. If our tours take place during the summer the wineries offer outdoor facilities for wine tasting, so the guests taking less of any risk.
In their indoor facilities will be limited access to the number of entry persons.
In addition, our private tours are already being organized with limited number of people (8 pax max), usually familiar to each other or family related.
Furthermore, we will be more stricted to it, providing your safety.
The flights of wines we hand out during our experiences will be sending digitally before the tour and printed during the tour if wanted, using protective coating and sterilizing before handing out.
We recommend to place the wine glasses and the flatware on the table in the presence of the guests and not before.
The staff of the wineries or restaurants who will be serving wine and food will wear masks at all times and will keep the distance of 6 feet from the guests in order to communicate. Also, they will frequently wash their hands and wear gloves.
Final costs and invoices will be done in a digitalized, touch-free manner.
