About: Tania P. Dougherty was driving from Valley winery to Valley winery with friends when she was struck with an idea:. We need a little bus to take us all around! This April, Dougherty turned a favorite pastime into a dream job when she created The Little Wine Bus, a wine tour company catering to group outings and corporate events. A Cornwall native who now lives in New York City and works for a large financial firm, Dougherty runs the tour company on the side with the help of family members and friends. You'll need a party of at least five to schedule a tour, but smaller groupings can sometimes hop on an already scheduled trip, she says. Customers can choose among the standard tour (the full-day Take Me To The Vino, which includes lunch and visits to three to four wineries), a variety of adventure tours (hike-, bike-, or kayak-and-wine), a five-course dinner at a winery, or a birthday or themed party. The choices don't end there, either: you'll have to pick either a stretch limo, town car, luxury van, or tour bus to cruise along in on the tour. Prices start at $100 per person. Whatever your preference or price range, though, you'll know Dougherty will strive to meet each customer's tastes, whether they're of the vinous variety (white or red?) or otherwise (hello, togas!).
