CANCELLATION, REFUND, and SCHEDULE POLICY: We look forward to sharing the beautiful Texas Hill Country wineries with all our guests, and we realize that occasionally plans change. We have established a cancellation and refund policy that gives our guests flexibility while allowing us to maintain good business practices.

Policy for Parties of 8 or less: Cancellation notification 7 days or more before your tour - full refund Cancellation notification less than 7 days but more than 48 hours before your tour – $50 per person cancellation fee - Cancellation notification less than 48 hours before your tour – full charges apply.
