Fun in Napa!
This was a fabulous tour! Our guide, Justin, was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He took us to 3 smaller wineries, making for a fantastic day. By the end of the tour, our group was singing at the top of our lungs. What fun!

Fantastic memorable day of fun!!
Absolutely worth every penny. It was a great tour. Hopefully you will have Wolf as your guide. He truly cares that you have a good experience. He stays with your group but never intrudes. He was on the perimeter the whole time making sure everyone was doing well but never getting in the way of the small group experience. Three very different but interesting vineyards, a great lunch, and lots and lots of laughs. I would highly recommend this small group wine tour experience. I don’t drink but never felt awkward or uncomfortable which I also appreciated!
Operator response
Hi Sue! What a lovely review—thank you! You described Wolf beautifully. I really appreciate you mentioning how comfortable you felt as a non-drinker. I’ll make sure Wolf sees this. Warm Wine Country Regards, Shawnda
