Blacklane Launches City-to-Vineyard Service For Seamless Wine Country Escapes

 As an extension of the company’s popular City-to-City service, Blacklane adds 8 new routes to world-renowned wine regions.

NEW YORK - October 10th, 2024 - Blacklane, the leading global chauffeur service dedicated to safety, convenience, and reliability, today announces the launch of its City-to-Vineyard service. As an extension of the company’s popular City-to-City offering connecting metropolitan areas, the new service provides travelers with a seamless way to reach premier wine country destinations directly from major metropolitan areas. With 8 new routes across Australia, France, and the U.S., guests can now effortlessly travel to iconic regions such as Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhone, Champagne and more.

The U.S. is one of the top wine-producing countries globally, and the wine industry is a major attraction for tourists. Wine America reports that America’s “wine country” regions will generate 49.18 million tourist visits and $16.69 billion in annual tourism expenditures. With Blacklane’s new City-to-Vineyard routes, passengers can now explore the world’s most renowned wine regions while enjoying the personalized luxury of a Blacklane chauffeur service. 

Key benefits of the City-to-Vineyard service include:

• Expert local chauffeurs: Enjoy safety and peace of mind with industry-leading, local chauffeurs who provide expert service, discretion, and reliability.

• Time-saving convenience: With door-to-door service, travelers avoid the hassle of crowded transit hubs and the need to switch between multiple modes of transportation.

• Personalized journeys: Every Blacklane ride offers climate control and free Wi-Fi, with a choice of car classes ranging from Business Van for group tours to Business Class for a sophisticated ride, or First Class for the ultimate luxury experience. Travelers can curate their own schedules, stopping at multiple vineyards to taste, tour, and enjoy the scenic views, with options for round-trips, hourly or an all-day chauffeur service.

• Transparent pricing: Blacklane offers fares with no hidden fees, so customers can count on reaching their destination on time and with transparent pricing.

“Wine country escapes should be an opportunity to unwind and savor the beauty of the vineyards, not a source of stress,” said Kyle Fackler, Head of Market Management, Americas at Blacklane. “With our City-to-Vineyard service, travelers can enjoy a seamless journey directly to the heart of popular wine destinations. Our professional chauffeurs ensure a safe and timely arrival, allowing guests to focus on what truly matters: indulging in exquisite wines and breathtaking landscapes. We are dedicated to continuing to provide exceptional transportation solutions that elevate every travel experience.”

The launch of City-to-Vineyard follows Blacklane’s recent expansions of its City-to-Beach and City-to-Slopes services, which take travelers directly from major cities to top beach and ski destinations across the U.S., UK, Europe, and UAE.
