Our social Code of Conduct
Our code of conduct has been crafted to ensure our guests feel safe, respected and comfortable at all times.
The Speed Dating Wine Tour operates on what we call our Good Human Code; everything is underpinned by a three-part structure of Safety, Respect and Vibe. As a connection-led, elevated social experience, these standards help everyone get clear on expectations and protect the vibe for everyone.
Individuals are expected to follow rules, regulations and safety measures to keep the day fun for everyone.
Transport providers are licensed and insured, and all venues operate under RSA regulations. For everyone’s safety, guests are expected to:
If something feels off, please speak to the host. You can do so quietly or discreetly if needed, and you will always be taken seriously.
Our host is there not only to guide the day, but also to protect the group dynamic and ensure each guest’s comfort and emotional safety. We can:
To protect the group, SDWT reserves the right to refuse entry or remove a participant at any time.
Anyone behaving inappropriately or becoming excessively intoxicated will be asked to leave or removed from the tour. Inappropriate behaviour includes:
Even if a participant feels that they have been removed unfairly, the ultimate safety of the group comes first and SDWT reserves the right to err on the side of caution in order to preserve this. Removal may occur without refund.
Come with an open mindset, and leave the performative dating energy at the door.
This is a space where you don’t need to impress. Our experience is designed intentionally to feel low-pressure and relaxed, so you can show up as your natural self. Let go of expectations, stay curious, and see where conversations take you.
No party bus, heavy drinking, or hook up energy.
Our tour is an elevated experience for individuals seeking something more substantial from their dating events. We’re here for real conversation, good energy, and a relaxed day out. This means that heavy drinking and hook ups are not the right vibe. Considered, connection-led, and conscious.
Enjoy the wine, but know your limits. Responsible drinking helps keep the day comfortable for everyone.
Alcohol is served by licensed venues under RSA regulations. We ask you to:
We reserve the right to intervene if anyone appears excessively intoxicated or unsafe. This may include being refused service by venues, being asked to sit out on activities, or being removed from the tour.
Phones, photos and privacy, we ask you to prioritise being present.
You are welcome to bring cameras or take photos on your phone during the tour, but we want to make sure everyone feels present and engaged. This means some light rules around how we capture and share content on the day. If you are planning on taking photos or videos:
SDWT may capture non-intrusive group imagery or video for promotional use during the tour, but we will never post content showing faces of participants without express written consent.
Connection should feel mutual and natural, never pressured. All guests are expected to treat everyone with respect and maturity.
We have zero tolerance for:
Consent and personal boundaries are always respected. If it’s not an enthusiastic yes, consider it a no.
You are expected to obtain clear consent, which includes:
Read the room. If someone isn’t interested in continuing a conversation, simply move on with dignity and grace.
Not all interest is reciprocated, and that’s a natural part of dating events, not something to be ashamed of or embarrassed by. If someone is giving you cues or clear indications they’re not interested, you are expected to maturely accept this and move on. Passive aggression or otherwise retaliatory tactics will be considered a violation of our social code.
