This is the best Napa tour out there…
“Imagine strolling amidst private vineyards away from the crowds, sampling hand-crafted wines made in small, personal batches that are only given to friends, family, and select buyers, and learning from winemakers everything they went through to create their art…”
We saw a gap in how people tour the wine country. Previously, you had two choices: Either take a tour on a bus/shuttle with so many other people that you are severely restricted to where you can go, or take a limo, with a driver who may know the layout of Napa, but doesn’t know very much about the wine. We offer something better: A small guided tour (between 2 and 6 people). You can either customize it to go anywhere you like, or sit back and enjoy as we take you to our favorites.

While most people end up at the big wineries lining the main roads, there is actually a second set of hidden wineries off the beaten path. As you retreat into the mountains and back roads, you will discover hidden gems that don’t exist on maps or in travel guides. These appointment-only wineries don’t make the typical wine that stocks grocery store shelves. In fact, they only sell their wine out of the tasting room, so it is a good idea to buy some at each stop and at the end of the day, we will ship it home to you! Most states range from $45 to $70 per case. (US only)
Tours are done in Ford Expeditions, complete with comfortable leather seating for six, personal climate control, chilled bottled water, and privacy tinting.

Our small group sizes enable you to go to all types of wineries; from the most nationally known and premiere establishments, to intimate seated tastings at boutique wineries. You can observe the entire winemaking process, from the vineyard to the bottle. The same tour has never been done twice!
We pick up from over 250 hotels within San Francisco, and then depart for wine country via the Golden Gate Bridge. We can also pick you up at your wine country hotel. Tour length is eight to nine hours, and we’ll have you back in SF by dinner time…

10 Reasons why you should take this tour:
1. See the best of wine country. Visit small family-owned wineries instead of the overcrowded commercial wineries.
2. Travel in luxury SUVs in intimate groups of 6 people or less. Join others from around the globe or schedule your own private tour.
3. Go where the buses, and even the vans, can’t – many of the best wineries don’t show up on maps or in travel guides! In fact, a lot of them don’t even have signs!
4. Taste exceptional small-lot handcrafted wines – absolutely the finest wines in America.
5. We find that wine lovers are usually foodies as well! Have lunch at one of Napa’s many noted restaurants, or enjoy a picnic at a winery (weather permitting).
6. Explore everything wine country has to offer. Visit exclusive wineries, beautiful landscaped grounds, private redwood groves, caves, and vineyards.
7. See first-hand everything that goes into the making of a bottle of wine.
8. Request specific wineries – go wherever you want!
9. Opt to have your wine shipped home at the end of the day (additional fee).
10. We know you work hard – you deserve it. Our groups consistently have the most fun of any tour company.
