Temecula Wine Country Responsible Partner Program Agreement
The Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association (TVWA) is
encouraging responsible transportation companies to visit the multiple wineries
in Temecula Wine Country. As
transportation companies are aware, the wineries are held to laws and high
standards within the State of California and the County of Riverside to
maintain an orderly and safe environment where alcoholic beverages are being
served. A problem currently faced by
many Temecula Wineries is the number of highly intoxicated and disruptive
customers being brought to them by transportation companies. Therefore, the wineries desire to develop a
closer working relationship with those transportation companies who on a best
effort basis will attempt to not bring to their wineries overly intoxicated or
disruptive customers and who agree to deal with problems related to this topic
when it is brought to their attention. The TVWA wineries have agreed to:
 • Provide
preference to those transportation companies that have agreed to and
signed the Responsible Partner Program Agreement
• Provide
promotion of the transportation company by listing it on a specially
created page on the TVWA website
• Establish
individual winery and transportation company promotional programs on a
case by case basis
As a Transportation Company, I agree to the following:
• I
agree to contact a destination winery in advance to obtain permission for
a visit from us for groups of 10 or more people. I also agree to notify the winery in advance of any change
in arrival time or plans.
•I
agree to highly discourage the consumption of hard liquor and beer during
a Temecula wine country visit.
•I
agree on a best effort basis to make sure the customers I am bringing to a
winery are neither obviously intoxicated nor disruptive. When advised by winery personnel that
my customers are creating a problem, I agree to immediately remove them
from the property.
•I
agree to take action to correct any problem related to the customers I
bring that are brought to my attention by the TVWA.
•I
agree to encourage my customers to purchase wines from the wineries to
which I bring them rather than transport them to alternative retail
outlets.
•I
agree to encourage my customers to visit TVWA member wineries as a priority
over other wineries located within Temecula Valley.
•I
agree to distribute to my clients the Tasting Etiquette handout
•I
agree to provide a copy of this Agreement of all my drivers.
•I
agree to maintain all licenses in accordance with PUC Code 5384.1.
