Getting here

Our partner can drive you to Raphael

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.

A quote request, not a booking. East End Wineries passes it to our black-car partner, who operate the car, set the price and confirm with you. Your tasting at Raphael is still booked with the room.
