What Separates a Private Tour from a Group Shuttle
Most wine tour companies hand you a fixed list of wineries upfront and run the same route for every group. That format works well when everyone wants the same experience, but it breaks down the moment preferences differ. Some may want a full tasting flight while others just want a glass. With Mead Wine Tours, you do not choose from a preset list. You decide where to go and what to do when you get there, and John adjusts throughout the day based on what your group is enjoying.
You will be riding in a new luxury SUV that holds up to seven people. There are no buses, no hop-on hop-off service, and no other passengers. The vehicle is yours for the full booking.
"I'm not just a chauffeur. I'll walk in with the group, show you around, and tell you what I'd recommend based on your personal palate. My passion for this goes deeper than what words can describe."
— John Mead, Owner, Mead Wine Tours
100% CUSTOMIZED!
With Mead Wine Tours you get to choose your times and your places, but you can also choose to have a bottle, glass, or tasting. It's so much easier to cater to everyone's desires and not feel rushed at each winery.
Most wine tour companies have you choose from a specific list of places upfront which include tastings at each place you visit. While this is great for some, not all members of groups always have the same preferences. Some may want a tasting while others just want a glass! At Mead Wine Tours we do NOT put a limit on places to go. With us you can relax and decide on your own!
TRANSPORTATION!
You will be in a New luxury SUV or VAN, holding up to 2-14 people.
Mead Wine Tours does not have buses as our goal is to offer a more personalized mode of transportation! There's no minimum requirement of how many people. There is no waiting around on shuttle buses and no 'hop on/ hop off' service with us! Also you will never share your ride!

Winery Tours in Fredericksburg TX: Hill Country Wineries Worth Visiting
The Hill Country around Fredericksburg has developed into one of Texas's more active wine regions, with dozens of wineries within a short drive as of early 2026. Slate Theory Winery is the current standout when it comes to combining wine quality with a setting worth spending time in. Calais Winery is lacking in ambiance but makes some of the best wine in Texas. John knows the region well and steers groups toward stops that match what they are actually looking for, not just what is closest.
John also offers airport transfers. If your group is flying into Houston, Austin, or Dallas, he can pick you up at the airport, bring you to Fredericksburg, run the wine tour, and take you back to your departure airport when you are done. It removes the driving entirely.
If your group wants to mix in some time on Fredericksburg's main street, historic landmarks, or the area's gourmet shops and upscale stores, that can be built into the day as well.
