Welcome to the vine! If you’re wondering how Grapevine Vows works or what to expect on your tour day, you’re in the right place.
💍 What is Grapevine Vows?
Grapevine Vows offers curated vineyard wedding tours in Northern Virginia for engaged couples looking to say “I do” among the vines. In one seamless day, you’ll visit multiple winery venues, enjoy tastings, meet with onsite event staff, and envision your big day—all without the stress of booking everything yourself.
🍷 What’s included in the tour?
Each tour includes:
- A guided visit to 3 winery venues
- Private walk-throughs and event details at each stop
- Wine tastings and light snacks
- Lunch (because no one plans well on an empty stomach!)
- Transportation from our central pickup location
- A keepsake gift from Grapevine Vows
🕒 How long is the tour?
Tours typically last about 8 hours, depending on the route and number of venues. You’ll receive a full itinerary before your tour date.
🗓 When are tours offered?
We currently offer weekend tour dates each month – Saturdays, Sundays and selected holiday Mondays. You can view upcoming availability and book your spot on our Tours page.
🍷 What more should I know about tours and tastings?
- Each tour includes pre-arranged tastings at our partner wineries. Additional purchases (like bottles or other food) are not included unless specified.
- Please bring a valid ID. Winery staff may request ID—guests must be 21+ to participate on the tours and in tastings.
- Tastings and experiences may vary slightly by season or availability, but the charm is always guaranteed.
👰 Do I have to be engaged to go on a tour?
Our tours are designed for engaged couples actively venue shopping—but you’re welcome to bring a parent, maid of honor, or anyone helping with your wedding planning. We also offer Bride Tribe tours if you want their insight into picking a venue or VIP decision-making squads!
🚐 Where do tours begin and end?
All tours depart from and return to the Vienna Metro Station in Fairfax County. Your confirmation email will include all the details, including parking options.
💌 Can I book a private tour?
Yes! We offer Private Tours for couples who prefer a one-on-one experience or need a customized route. Just click here to get started.
📆 What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We get it—life happens.
- For Standard Tours: Cancellations made at least 72 hours before your tour will receive a full refund.
- For Bride Tribe and Private Tours: Cancellations made 7 or more days prior will receive a full refund because of the extra planning involved.
Within the cancellation window, we’re happy to offer a credit toward a future tour.
No-shows or same-day cancellations are non-refundable.
💳 Do you offer promo codes or discounts?
Occasionally! Be sure to follow us on Instagram and sign up for our newsletters to be the first to hear about exclusive offers and seasonal deals.
📸 Can we take photos during the tour?
Absolutely! These wineries are gorgeous and you’re encouraged to take as many photos as you’d like. Just be mindful of other guests and always ask permission before photographing winery staff. And if you post them to Instagram, please be sure to tag us and feel free to use #WordOnTheVineIs and #grapevinevows
By joining a tour, you grant permission for Grapevine Vows to use photos for marketing unless you notify us in writing prior to your tour.
🌦️ Weather Policy
Rain or shine, we roll on! Our tours are designed with indoor/outdoor flexibility, but in cases of severe weather or winery closure, we may need to adjust the itinerary or reschedule.
If Grapevine Vows cancels a tour due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, guests will receive a full refund or credit or will be scheduled for another tour.
💍 Wedding Planning Inquiries
Grapevine Vows is proud to work with venues that host weddings and celebrations. While our tours are informative and fun, we’re not a wedding planning service—but we’ll connect you to great partners!
Venue-specific questions about availability or pricing are best answered by the winery directly.
❤️ What’s your policy on respect, inclusivity, and conduct?
At Grapevine Vows, we believe every couple deserves to feel celebrated and safe while planning their special day. Our tours are designed to be joyful, inclusive experiences that welcome all identities, orientations, and cultures.
To help ensure a positive experience for everyone:
- We ask all guests to treat one another, winery staff, and our team with respect and kindness.
- Disruptive, discriminatory, or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
- Please enjoy tastings responsibly—this is a venue tour, not a party bus.
- Guests who are visibly intoxicated or acting disrespectfully may be asked to leave the tour without refund.
We’re here to make this journey beautiful, supportive, and unforgettable—for you and everyone around you.
