Question 1

How far in advance should I book my vineyard transfer?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking your vineyard transfer as early as possible to ensure availability, especially during peak seasons. Booking in advance also allows us to accommodate any specific requirements you may have for your journey.

Question 2

Are Blacklane vehicles equipped for long-distance travel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our vehicles are equipped with all necessary amenities to ensure a comfortable journey, including climate control and Wi-Fi. Our chauffeurs are experienced in long-distance driving, ensuring a smooth and pleasant trip to your vineyard destination.

Question 3

Can I bring wine purchases back with me?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our vehicles have ample storage space to accommodate your wine purchases. Please inform us of your needs when booking to ensure we allocate a vehicle with sufficient space.

Question 4

What’s the difference between booking a long-distance ride and an hourly service?

Accepted Answer

Booking a long-distance return ride with Blacklane covers your journey to and from your chosen wine destination, but it does not include local transportation within the wine region.

On the other hand, an hourly service allows you to create your own itinerary and explore multiple wineries at your leisure. Hourly bookings include a 40km distance allowance per booked hour, making them ideal for flexible, local travel within a specific region.

Question 5

Do you provide recommended itineraries to explore the chosen wine region?

Accepted Answer

We are working on partnerships with local wine producers to create bespoke experiences for our guests. While these itineraries are in development, we encourage you to explore the wine region at your own pace. Our hourly service allows you the flexibility to craft your own itinerary, giving you the freedom to visit the wineries and attractions that interest you most. Stay tuned for our upcoming curated wine tours designed to enhance your journey.

Question 6

What is a self guided wine tour?

Accepted Answer

A self-guided wine tour is when you visit various regional wineries at your own pace and discretion, rather than doing a pre-planned guided tour. With a little planning ahead of time, it means you have total freedom to enjoy your wine tastings on your own schedule and aren't bound to the itinerary of a group.

If you're planning a self-guided wine tour in the UK, we recommend booking a Blacklane chauffeur by the hour so your chauffeur is on hand whenever you're ready to go to your next vineyard.
