This tour is designed as a round-trip experience in private transport, ensuring comfort throughout your journey. You will be collected directly from your hotel in Paracas, or if preferred, you may meet us at our Paracas office (please arrive 20 minutes prior to departure). The scenic drive from Paracas to the vineyards will be with a professional driver, while our expert local guides will meet you at each winery to lead the guided tours and tastings.

Both Tacama and Caravedo are nestled at the foothills of the Ica valley and surrounding mountains. Occasionally, roadworks, maintenance, or unforeseen local events may limit direct access to the wineries. In such rare cases, we will adjust the itinerary to include alternative visits such as artisanal bodegas or a brief excursion to the Huacachina oasis, where guests may opt for a short dune buggy experience. Our priority is to ensure your day remains enriching, enjoyable, and filled with authentic Ica flavour.
