Canberra Winery & Day Tours — Private Chauffeur, Custom Itinerary
Your own car, your own driver, your own day. Murrumbateman and Canberra District cellar doors, or a regional day out — built around your group, not a coach.
DriveToArrive runs private chauffeured winery tours from Canberra with one car for your group, no other guests, and a chauffeur who waits at every cellar door. Pick the wineries and the lunch — the driver handles the country roads and the parking.

Why Canberra groups book private over bus tours
The Canberra District is genuinely close — most cellar doors are 30–40 minutes from the CBD — which makes a private chauffeured day the sane option. Nobody wants to be the designated driver on the way back from Clonakilla, and the roads out to Murrumbateman are dark and quiet at dusk. One car, one driver, real tastings, easy home run.
