Family Wine Tasting Day at Mettler Winery
We make every effort to ensure that each guest will have a truly memorable experience. We start by selecting private drivers that are hospitality specialists who are clearly passionate about providing really outstanding luxury level service because they are truly fulfilled by positively impacting and enhancing guests’ experiences.
Each wine tasting driver is then trained by us with regards to safe driving practices and to seamlessly provide exceptional customer service. We’ve been operating 5-star international luxury tours for more than 30 years, so we know how to ensure that everything is done to provide you the best wine tasting experience possible.
Insurance
Destination Drivers has served hundreds of thousands of customers since 2010 and has never been involved in an at fault accident.
Our designated drivers are protected by a mandatory supplemental insurance policy, underwritten by Prime Insurance Company, known as an Over The Road and Drive Away Policy. This coverage applies specifically to the driver rather than the vehicle, going beyond typical commercial liability to include collision, property damage, and personal injury. This supplemental policy covers your designated driver in either your personal car or rental vehicle, even if they aren’t listed on the rental agreement. Your insurance as the owner or renter of the vehicle will always be the primary insurance. The driver’s insurance is secondary and our Over the Road Policy steps in after that. There is a $1,000 deductible which applies for our policy.

Book A Driver For Other Functions
Your wine driver is also bookable for dinners and special events aside from wine touring, such as concerts, weddings, private parties, dances, airport runs, event shuttle services, and other school/public/private events.
We work with van rental companies – you rent the vehicle online and our drivers will take care of the rest. Don’t hesitate to call and ask, “Hey, can we book a driver for…?”
Why A Destination Driver?
Our private designated driver service is an outstanding alternative to more expensive limousine services and group shuttle services, like the Sip Shuttle, or group tours, wine bus tours, wine train tours and Lodi Wine Trolley Tours that lump you in with other visitors you don’t know and then dictate where you can go and when!
We take you anywhere, anytime, whether it is on the Lodi Plymouth wineries list or not.
Our drivers take you to the wineries that you want to visit because all of our tours are customized to your group, based on the types of wines you like and the type of experience you want to have – boutique winery, large commercial winery, barrel tasting, etc.
We provide an unparalleled, concierge level personalized experience at a more affordable price! Plus many of the best wineries no longer allow Sacramento limo wine tours or buses.
So whether you’re looking for a Lodi Driver, a Plymouth Driver or both, choose Destination Drivers private hospitality, luxury and 5-star service – a private wine tasting tour in your own vehicle with your friends is the best way to enjoy California Wine Country!
