Went for a bachelor party, going back for Gillie
Gillie Jenkins was incredible. He knew all the ins and outs of the area, and was an absolute gentleman. Super patient, friendly, and personable.

Great value, superb service. A true "no worry" experience.
The booking was easy and communication from the company was great! Our driver Gilley was superb! He was not only a very good driver, but he walked us to the entry of each vineyard, carried all of our boxes of wine - there were quite a few, and was so kind. Plus, we added an extra hour, and Gilley picked us up at our rental house. No drinking & driving for these gals. Six ladies celebrating 50 years of friendships and we could not have been in more beautiful places, or in better hands! We will definitely be back and book again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such a lovely review! We’re thrilled that booking and communication were seamless, and that Gillie took such great care of your group—from vineyard drop-offs to helping with all those wine boxes. It was a privilege to be part of celebrating 50 years of friendship. We can’t wait to welcome you back!

Be prepared to be wowed!!
What an amazing experience. Booked this tour to celebrate my twin sister’s 50th birthday. Everything was handled perfectly by the company. Communication was clear, our driver Pierre was the BEST guide I have ever encountered. He was super professional, friendly, attentive and really made the day flow smoothly. He even took most of our amazing pictures. The limo SUV was clean, comfortable and classy. The wineries had great wine and beautiful views.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re honored you chose to celebrate such a special milestone—your twin sister’s 50th birthday—with us. We’re especially delighted to hear that Pierre made such a lasting impression. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him; he’ll be thrilled to know his professionalism, attentiveness, and photography skills helped make your day even more memorable! We’re also glad you enjoyed the limousine SUV, the beautiful wineries, and, of course, the wine. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to celebrate another special occasion with you again soon. Cheers!

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Virginia Private Custom Wine Tour from Charlottesville: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Charlottesville.
How much does Virginia Private Custom Wine Tour from Charlottesville cost?
+
Prices start at $499 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Charlottesville usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Virginia Private Custom Wine Tour from Charlottesville take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Charlottesville is not rushed.
Is Virginia Private Custom Wine Tour from Charlottesville worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 653 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Charlottesville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Virginia Private Custom Wine Tour from Charlottesville?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Virginia Private Custom Wine Tour from Charlottesville suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Virginia Private Custom Wine Tour from Charlottesville?
+
Around 229 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Charlottesville can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Charlottesville and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Virginia Private Custom Wine Tour from Charlottesville start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Charlottesville within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Charlottesville?
+
Charlottesville, VA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Charlottesville by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Charlottesville experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Shenandoah National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour, Private Charlottesville Area Wine Tour, Private Wine Tours Transportation from 3 People and More. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Charlottesville?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Charlottesville, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Charlottesville?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
