Coming On Your Own?
Pull Up a Chair.
Solo wine & beer tours. Your own room on selected departures.
Absolutely no need to bring a spare human.
Join Tipple Tours on your own and explore wine cellars, breweries and wonderfully unusual places with a small, hosted group. On departures marked "Your own room included", solo guests pay the advertised per-person price with no single supplement and no sharing with strangers.
Because wanting a holiday shouldn't depend on convincing your friends to request annual leave.
Find Your Next AdventureYour Friends Are Still "Checking Their Diaries"
You've suggested a trip. Someone needs to ask their partner. Someone can only do a Tuesday in 2031. Someone has replied with a thumbs-up, which appears to mean absolutely nothing.
Meanwhile, there's a Georgian family pouring wine and wondering where you are.
Come on your own.
You don't need a drinking partner, a travel companion or someone to guard your chair while you investigate the buffet. Join the group, meet your fellow travellers and let the adventure begin.
Share the Stories. Keep the Room.
We're very much in favour of shared experiences.
Sharing a bedroom with someone whose snoring sounds like a tractor attempting a hill start? Less appealing.
On departures marked "Your own room included", you get:
Your own hotel room at the advertised per-person price.
No single supplement.
No requirement to share with someone you don't know.
Somewhere to retreat when your social battery needs charging.
Check your chosen tour and departure for its confirmed room policy. Couples and friends booking together should check the twin or double arrangements shown for their trip.
Your room. Your space. Your questionable late-night snack choices.
Solo Doesn't Mean Singles
You can be single, married, partnered or in a complicated relationship with your work calendar.
Travelling solo simply means you're booking without a companion.
This isn't speed dating with a wine list. There are no compulsory introductions involving your relationship status, star sign or "one interesting fact".
If your other half would rather stay home, that's fine. They get the remote. You get the adventure.
You Don't Need to Be a Wine Expert
You don't need to recognise seventeen grape varieties or describe a drink as having "an intriguing mineral backbone".
✓"This is lovely" remains an entirely acceptable tasting note.
✓So does "I preferred the first one".
Bring curiosity. We'll meet the producers, hear their stories and discover what makes the local drinks interesting—without requiring anyone to sit an exam afterwards.

What Happens When I Arrive?
Your tour page explains where the trip starts, and we'll send joining details before departure.
At the start, your host brings the group together. You meet the people you'll be travelling with, settle in and discover that everyone else also wondered whether arriving alone might feel awkward.
Shared meals, tastings and the occasional "Did that really just happen?" tend to give you plenty to talk about.
There's no requirement to become the loudest person at the table. Quiet guests are welcome too. Someone needs to remember the stories accurately.
Sociable Doesn't Mean Compulsory
You're joining a group adventure, with a shared itinerary and plenty of time together.
That doesn't mean you have to attend every optional evening outing or provide cabaret at breakfast.
Use free time for a wander, a coffee or a quiet recharge.
And at tastings, you can sip, skip a pour or leave a glass unfinished. Nobody is marking your homework.
