Taylor was extremely personable, knowledgeable and accommodating of our wishes. It was wonderful not having to worry about driving and drinking, because we did a lot of drinking! The choices of wineries was perfect. Lunch provided was filling and tasty. All in all a wonderful experience.

Hey-Have any of you heard of COVID-19? Want to forget about it for four hours? Book a trip with Taylor and her Sip Shuttle. Super clean vehicle and a perfect hostess escorted us to four super wineries. We like wine a lot and four was almost too many. The pours were generous and all the wineries were delightful. We especially liked Jeremy Co in downtown Lodi because the tastings were in darling glass glasses-not plastic cups. Taylor was super darling and very smart about Lodi and wine making. We highly recommend this trip!

We had a group of 8 people who booked an 11am- 4pm wine tasting trip. We arrived a little early and were sat outside to wait. The help at Scottus wine shop were fun and attentive. However, instead of leaving at 11am we were combined with a group at the 11:30am tour and we had to wait for them. We were then driven to a winery where the woman doing the pouring was snarkey and rude when some of the ladies in our group were looking at T-shirts they had for sale. Not Sip Shuttles fault, but it was not a good experience. We then discovered that the bus we were using was also being used to ferry yet another group back and forth while we were in the winery doing our tasting. When we were leaving, they were arriving. Sounds like a good plan, except we had to WAIT until they showed up. At one stop we waited for over an hour. Plus, they took us to Woodbridge Winery. Of all the places we could have gone, this is where they took us. Ugh. I am left wondering if they get some kind of spiff from the wineries to bring in the tourists. The driver and tour 'guide' were both friendly and pleasant but did not provide much info about the area or wineries. Overall it was just an okay experience that could have been much better.

I apologize that you did not fully enjoy your experience on Sip Shuttle. We offer numerous tour options, one of which is a private tour. Based on your review, this option would have been a better choice for you. With the private tour, the shuttle, driver, and tour guide are on your time for the day.
On the public tour option, our shuttle, driver, and tour guide are on a pre-planned schedule that fits the needs of each of our guests.
The confirmation email sent out to our guests states that the first group meets at Scotto's at 11:00 for check-in and leaves at 11:30. The second group meets at 11:30 and leaves at 12:00. It was appropriate for your group the leave at 11:30. This allows time for each of our guests to check-in and enjoy their tastings at Scotto's, without feeling rushed. It also gives a grace period to guests who are running late.
Sip Shuttle also offers a lunch package and we also encourage guests to bring a lunch of their own. For this reason, we schedule a lunch break at the second stop for those who have a lunch to enjoy. Our guests are at the second stop for one hour and fifteen minutes, which allows our guest to enjoy both their tasting and their lunches without feeling rushed.
Lastly, Sip Shuttle is open to winery suggestions from our guests. We love when our guests call in and inform us of which wineries they would like to attend on their tour. This allows us to make a more tailored itinerary based on style of wines that you enjoy. Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi is a winery that people come to from all over the world to enjoy. The Mondavi family helped pave the wine community in Lodi. We are proud to have the Woodbridge winery as a part of our community. The Sip Shuttle provides the experience of viewing a mass producing winery as well as the home-grown mom and pop wineries so that our guests may compare the style and ambiance of two very different wineries.
Once again, I apologize that the tours were not as expected. We do offer many options for our guests that allow the tours to be as individualized as each of our guests are. I hope in the future, if you return to Lodi, you will try our private tour.
Thank you for your review, we value the perspectives of each of our guests. The feedback we receive allows us to create tours that are tailored to the needs of each of our guests

I recently booked Sip Shuttle with Taylor for 2 days in Lodi. She was very knowledgeable about the area, about the local wineries, and also just generally fun to hang around with. Sip Shuttle also had add-ons such as a cheese pairing or lunch. Bonus!

Our group took the Sip Shuttle on a recent trip to Lodi. It worked out perfectly and a great time was had by all. They picked us up right on time at the Bella Vino B & B (as well as another stop). Taylor was a great tour guide as we visited several of the local wineries. We opted for lunch included, which was very convenient indeed. I highly recommend using them when you travel to Lodi if you want a safe and fun way to visit multiple wineries in a single afternoon!!

For my 60th birthday, my husband and I went on Sip Shuttle's "Water to Wine Tour", through Headwaters Kayaks. It was a terrific day, starting with morning kayaking on gentle Lodi Lake and the Mokelumne River. We were served wonderful sandwiches, salads and cookies in the picnic area, and then boarded the Shuttle. Taylor, the friendly owner of Sip Shuttle, was our guide to three wineries. Her genuine interest in our group, fun quiz games for raffle prizes, and knowledge of Lodi winemaking increased our enjoyment of the day. Check out Sip Shuttle website - they offer all kinds of winery tours!

These guys offer a very, very good wine tour.
We were in Lodi on a Wednesday which turned out to be a blessing. We called and booked a tour with a cheese lunchbox which was a winner.
Taylor did an amazing job, the wineries she chose were very good and had a great variation of large, small, family etc
The biggest plus was that she did the driving and we got to enjoy the wines.
If you happen to be on Lodi give Taylor a call and enjoy a really good tour experience
Don't miss the chance.

What an enjoyable afternoon we had, fun to enjoy our local wineries and have no worries or responsibilities. "Taylor" was organized and kept us on a time schedule so we could pack as many wineries as possible into our afternoon and we still had time for a delicious box lunch provided by Airport Cafe, DELISH. My compliments to a young woman with a great business.

I had the pleasure of using this service in August of this year. I had such a great time touring local wineries. I lived in lodi for years without being able to tour most if the wineries we visited. Mostly because I refuse to drink and drive. But now with this option, I can taste as much wine as I want with no worries. I highly recommend this service!
