Getting here
Our partner can drive you to Kontokosta Winery
A black-car SUV with a driver, door to door. Ask for a price and our black-car partner will come back to you — which also settles the one problem a tasting day cannot solve on its own, that somebody has to stay sober to drive.
Pick the car
The quieter ride of the two, and the one people picture when they book a black car.
Read this before you book the car
- Kontokosta Winery publishes a no to buses and limousines. A private SUV dropping you at the door is usually a different matter, but ring the room before you book the car.
