Let's Plan Your Adventure.
A memorable adventure has a memorable guide,
a trusty steed(or a van), and a plan of action.
Here, we'll go over the more personal aspects of your tour.

Let's Meet The Man in the Van!
Who's this guy? I want to book a tour!
Just a moment, we'll get to that. This is Dario Burgess, the founder of Man in the Van Wine Tours. He's the man behind the curtain, who will be your licensed chauffeur, guide, representative and your Seneca Lake local. His job is to make sure your wine tour goes exactly how you want it to. Any questions, concerns, comments, jokes, stories, or suggestions can go right to him, and he'll make sure they are addressed. And don't worry, he may be a big guy, but he's got a heart to match and his first priority is your satisfaction. You can call him D if you want.
Now that you've met your driver, let's meet the ride.
This is Dario's 2012 Chrysler Town and Country. He runs all of his tours with it, and it's perfect for the job! It can house up to six(6) passengers per tour; feel free to bring friends, or be prepared to make new ones! While it's not a limousine, it boasts leather seats, plenty of trunk space, automatic windows and just about every other bell and whistle available, except heated seats. It's large enough to be comfortable, but small enough to squeeze its way into the hidden gems of Seneca Lake.
Now we can talk tours.
Our tours can be tailored specifically to how you want to experience Seneca Lake wine country. Tours come in two varieties:
|
The Bread
and Butter This is what we normally offer. We will be visiting six pre-chosen wineries that we believe offer the best quality and variety for the West side of Seneca Lake. Due to the nature of this tour, you will be sharing the van with other guests, so be prepared to make new friends! There will be a lunch stop at any point the crew (that's you!) thinks it's time for a break. Lunch is not included in this package, but guests get to collaborate and decide where they stop for lunch. The rate for this tour is $80 per person, which covers the 11am to 5pm tour. |
The Custom Experience
This is truly the deluxe experience. This is a private tour for just you and your party, and you get to choose exactly which wineries you want to visit from anywhere around Seneca Lake. This package also includes a handcrafted lunch prepared by one of three fantastic chefs, which is served at your convenience. Since this is a private tour, you will not have to share the vehicle with other guests, and you have more control over your excursion. That being said, the price for this package is $130 per person, and costs $30 dollars per hour after the allotted six hour tour. |
We took the liberty of leaving you some links here, so you can do some more exploring. If you're ready to book, go ahead and let us know.
