There are plenty of reasons to take a guided wine tour versus taking a DIY approach to exploring the Valle De Guadalupe region. Off the top, you’ll have an opportunity to interact with locals, direct access to in-depth knowledge of the architecture, landscape, and industry, plus tour perks like souvenirs and preferred pricing.  But, if you want a simple answer, taking a guided tour means you can indulge a little more and explore for longer without costly taxi rides or worrying about whether or not you’re safe to drive. Enjoy a full flight, upgrade to the pour when you feel like it, and make a few extra stops with private transportation at the ready.
