Highly recommended tour

Our host and driver Vincent was excellent. The entire process from booking to arranging the itinerary was smooth. The vehicle quality was amazing and Vincent really knew a lot about the vineyards and areas that we went to. He ensured we got a beautiful photo opportunity at the Golden Gate Bridge nd the Napa sign. I highly recommend this company.

First time wine country

We had a wonderful first time experience in wine country! Our driver, Dean, was extremely knowledgeable about the area. We felt safe the entire time and he kept us on schedule as we visited 3 different wineries on our 8 hour tour. Highly recommend!

Excepcional

To be honest, the driver was just that a driver but he was polite; he would open the door for me whenever we stopped. I selected four wineries, and I believe they were truly the best choices. The tour was scheduled for eight hours, but we were charged for two extra hours a fee that included the driver's overtime pay. I didn't mind, as it really was an incredible experience, but I wanted to let others know that extra charges can apply. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this personalized tour because you get to choose the vineyards yourself, and you spend about an hour and a half at each location. I chose Domaine Carneros, Artesa, Sterling, and Castello di Amorosa... definitely don't miss the gondola experience at Sterling, and whitout a doubt the best wine is at Castello di Amorosa!!!

From the start of the booking, this company communicated and provided us with the best wineries to make the most of day trip. Our driver Victor was amazing, as he was very knowledgeable about the city and helped us with any questions! Victor went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The cost was well worth it!

Amazing Driver and Winery Suggestions

We booked them to give us a private winery tour in Napa and Sonoma valley for our friend's retirement celebration. From pickup, Dean, our driver was amazing. He even made a stop/drive so we could see the Golden Gate bridge, Palace of Fine Arts and Presidio which turned out to be perfect since we couldn't see them the next day with Formula One blockage and traffic. They gave us amazing itinerary suggestions and we picked 3 amazing wineries from their lists with each were equally unique from each other. Dean was so professional and provided us with services above and beyond what our expectations. It was totally worth what we paid for! Can't thank Dean and this company for such amazing services.

Perfect Day in Sonoma

Followed our driver's suggestions and had great day in the valley. Visited small operations producing amazing wines - Loxton was our highlight, great red blends and ports. Same with Saint Francis and Landmark. both were special in it's own way. Dean had us on ease at all times. Felt like we were flying through the country with a friend who we knew for a long time.

Do this if you want a private driver for a custom tour of Napa/Sonoma! A++

Extremely positive experience! We had a great driver for the day (Dean) who was super positive, knew a ton of historical and relevant context about the region, and provided suggestions/recommendations along the way. The company was very diligent in making sure we had our itinerary planned out and made helpful suggestions based on our input. A++ would 120% recommend again, and will be booking again in the future!
