"Brimming with enthusiasm and passion.""The tour was a fantastic way to enjoy one of the most beautiful areas of California. The knowledge that Jesse has of the countryside and history is brimming with enthusiasm and passion. This combined with the quality of the vineyard tours (and of course the fine wine that goes along with such tours) made for a relaxed, interesting and informative day. I would have no hesitation of recommending 'a friend in town'to friends, family and everyone else." – Patrick W. (Hamilton, New Zealand) |
Because limos are expensive (check 'tax' + other extra fees) and in them you're not positioned to really see the scenery. Big buses marry you to a hurried crowd. And who wants to be the designated driver trying to find one winery in 400? On weekends and in summer the main highway through Napa Valley can back up for miles. We know the scenic backroads, with their less-frequented wineries boasting excellent wines and offering private tours.
Don't worry… you'll see the famous establishments too. Enjoy good, healthy food, whether at a gourmet deli with panoramic view, the CIA cooking school, or one of the region's outstanding restaurants. We put what you're observing in its historical context, respond to your questions, and help you remember that you're on vacation… minimizing your stress, maximizing your pleasure.
Even if you don't drink alcohol, you'll surrender to the blissful encounter that is our California wine country while learning about a major global industry that artfully blends technology and creativity. Experience unique architecture, sculpture, gardens, and the awesome scenery that surrounds you.
There are many reasons why we're your best choice!
"Far superior to anything we might have found on our own!""We had a wonderful time. In all honesty, my one comment would be to trust your guide. The wineries he showed us were far superior to anything we might have found on our own!" – Erin R. (West Palm Beach, Florida) |
In the opinion of many Sonoma is as beautiful and even more historic than Napa Valley. Everyone agrees that its wines are world-class. It's just less well-known. So our Napa and Sonoma wine tour seeks to satisfy your curiosity about both. You'll delight all your senses while cruising through breath-taking scenery, learning about an important global industry and tasting the product of hands-on farming, savvy marketing and good fortune.

For the connoisseur who knows exactly what s/he wants… you name the wineries you most want to see. "Connoisseurs' Choice" tours are by definition "private" and are priced accordingly. (Cf. Fees) Would you like to venture out to the spectacular Alexander Valley or Anderson Valleys, or south to Carmel Valley or farther out to Mendocino/the North Coast … or even to stay overnight? Unleash your imagination.
"A wonderful time.""We had a wonderful time on your tour, have been telling anyone who will listen how great it was. We mentioned it to the concierge at the Hyatt, the taxi driver on the way to the airport and all our family and my e-mail pals." – Robin & John R. |
