Private Wine Tour Service
Why Private Beats Group Every Time
A shared wine tour sounds fun until you’re stuck waiting on strangers at a winery you didn’t want to visit. Private tours are different. Your group sets the pace. You linger at the places you love, skip the ones that don’t interest you, and actually get to enjoy the day instead of watching the clock. We’ve run enough of these to know that the best wine tours feel spontaneous even when they’re planned down to the minute.
Most of our private clients are celebrating something. An anniversary, a milestone birthday, a bachelorette weekend up in Cutchogue. Some are just looking for a legitimate excuse to spend a Saturday afternoon on the North Fork wineries without anyone having to drive. Either way, the experience is the same: a clean, comfortable vehicle, a driver who knows the area cold, and zero pressure to rush.
Custom Itineraries Built Around Your Taste
The North Fork has over 60 wineries spread across Cutchogue, Peconic, Southold, and Mattituck. That’s too many options for most people to sort through, and too easy to waste a day hitting the wrong spots. When you book a private tour, we help you plan a route that actually makes sense for your group.
Prefer bold reds? Sparkling wines? Want to include a waterfront lunch stop at a farm stand between tastings? We’ve done it. Our drivers have worked these roads long enough to know which wineries get crowded by early afternoon, where you’ll want to spend extra time, and which spots offer the kind of quiet tasting experience that makes the day feel less like a tourist stop and more like a real discovery. You’re not getting a script. You’re getting someone who’s genuinely been there. Take a look at our all wine tours page to see everything we offer across Long Island.
Vehicles That Fit Your Group
For couples and small groups, we typically use executive sedans or SUVs Comfortable, private, and easy to load up with wine purchases at the end of the day. Larger groups of six to ten often prefer a stretch limousine, which gives everyone room to move around between stops and turns the ride itself into part of the experience. We’ll match the vehicle to your headcount and tell you honestly what works best.
Every vehicle in our fleet is maintained and cleaned before each run. If you’ve ever climbed into a limo for a special occasion and felt vaguely let down by the condition of it, that won’t happen here. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that the details matter on days that are supposed to feel special.
The Full Day, Start to Finish
We pick you up from your home, hotel, or wherever you’re staying across Long Island. West Babylon, Bay Shore, Lindenhurst, Huntington, or anywhere in between. The drive out to the North Fork takes roughly an hour depending on traffic on Route 25, which gives your group time to relax and get in the right headspace before the first pour.
At the end of the day, we drive you home. All of you. Nobody sits out of a tasting to be the designated driver, and nobody’s splitting an Uber at 6 PM from Riverhead because the last winery ran long. That’s the whole point. Executive Limousine has been a member of the National Limousine Association since its early years, and we run 24/7. Late pickups, adjusted itineraries, and last-minute changes to the plan are handled without drama.
Booking Is Straightforward
Give us your date, your group size, and a general idea of your route or the number of stops you’re planning. We’ll confirm availability, match you to the right vehicle, and lock in the details. Fixed pricing means no meter running while you’re mid-flight at your third stop. You’ll know the cost before the day starts. We’re available 24/7 for bookings and questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many wineries can we visit in one private tour day?
Most groups comfortably visit 3 to 4 wineries on a full-day private wine tour on Long Island. Trying to squeeze in more than that usually means rushed tastings and less enjoyment at each stop. We typically recommend planning around three to start, then adding a fourth if the day is moving well. Your driver will give you an honest read on timing as the day goes on.
Do we need to plan our own itinerary before booking?
You don’t have to come in with a set list. Many clients have a few wineries in mind and fill in the gaps with our help before the tour. If you want to do the planning yourself, we’ll follow your route. If you’d rather hand it off, we’ll put together an itinerary based on your taste preferences, group size, and whether you want to include a lunch stop. Either approach works.
Can we make wine purchases during the tour and bring them back in the vehicle?
Absolutely. We make room for your bottles. Just let us know ahead of time if you’re expecting to do significant buying so we can plan for space in the vehicle accordingly. The North Fork wineries are used to this. Many offer case discounts and can ship to your home as well if you go overboard.
Is private wine tour service available year-round?
Yes. Long Island wineries operate year-round, and fall is actually our busiest season for custom wine tours. Harvest time on the North Fork draws a lot of couples and groups from across Suffolk and Nassau County. Summer books up fast, especially on weekends, so the earlier you reach out, the better your options for date selection.
