How Pricing Works

Transparent, thoughtful pricing — designed around planning, access, and experience.

We’re a Concierge — Not a Booking Platform

Scenic Cellars is a personalized wine concierge service. We design custom tasting itineraries, coordinate reservations, and work directly with wineries on your behalf.

Our pricing reflects the time, expertise, and access required to create a seamless experience — not just booking a tasting.

$50 Planning Deposit

To begin planning, we collect a $50 non-refundable planning deposit. This allows us to research availability, coordinate with wineries, and design an itinerary tailored to your preferences.

Important: Once the deposit is received, planning work begins immediately. This deposit is applied toward your final concierge fee.

How Your Itinerary Is Delivered

After planning begins, you’ll receive a preliminary itinerary that outlines the overall experience and flow of your tasting day(s).

  • Winery sequence (Winery A → Winery B)
  • Tasting styles and experience types
  • Typical tasting fee ranges
  • Daily pacing and timing

At this stage, winery names, addresses, and contact details aren't included yet — your itinerary reflects real relationships and insider access we've built over time, so we hold that specific information until you're booked in, the same way a travel agent wouldn't hand over exact hotel names before a booking is confirmed.

Once you approve the itinerary and the remaining concierge fee is paid, we finalize reservations and provide a complete itinerary with full winery details and confirmation information — yours in full, no surprises.

Concierge Fees

Our concierge fees are flat-rate and based on the scope of planning — not the price of wine or tasting fees.

  • $125 — One day of tastings
  • $200 — Two days of tastings
  • $350–$400 — Corporate, business, or group experiences

Final pricing is always confirmed before reservations are secured.

Winery Tasting Fees

Winery tasting fees are set by each winery and are separate from our concierge fee.

  • Some wineries require prepayment to confirm a reservation
  • Others allow payment directly at the winery on the day of your visit
  • Some tasting fees may be waived with wine purchases

We’ll clearly explain all tasting fees and payment requirements before you confirm.

Cancellations & Changes

The $50 planning deposit is non-refundable once work begins. After an itinerary is completed and delivered, concierge fees are also non-refundable, as the planning and coordination work has already been performed.

Cancellations made less than 48 hours before your scheduled appointment cannot be refunded.
