Gillie provided the most amazing trip
Our chauffeur Gillie made our wine tour unforgettable. He had cold waters waiting in the car, took lovely photos of us at each stop, and even picked up sandwiches for lunch while we were tasting at the winery. Those little touches made the day feel effortless. Beyond all that, he was just a genuinely pleasant, warm gentleman who was a joy to spend the day with. We'd book him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone!
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a wonderful review! We’re delighted Gillie made your wine tour so memorable. From the cold waters and photos to picking up lunch, he loves taking care of the little details so you can enjoy the day. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you for recommending us—we’d love to welcome you back for another tour!

Made the Trip!
Gillie was the best chauffeur for our girls day wine trip! He was prompt, respectful, and knowledgeable about the area. He even picked up our sandwiches so we could have longer to stay at the winery and he took pictures of us. He truly made the day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad Gillie helped make your girls’ wine day special. It’s wonderful to hear that his thoughtful touches gave you more time to enjoy the winery and capture some great memories. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words—we’d love to welcome you back!

Excellent Experience
Such a sweet driver that was kind and maintained a very clean car. He took us to 3 different wineries that were all gorgeous. The first had my favorite wine, the second had great food, and the third had the photo opps I was looking for. Maintaining time and consideration for us, the driver exceeded expectation. I would highly recommend this tour!

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 665 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 233 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.
