Description
Most wine tours in Napa are led by wine and food enthusiasts, who, while passionate about gastronomy, have no actual training or background in the field. This tour will be wholly different than anything you can find in the valley, and will be a fun blend of educational insight and wining and dining ourselves in the heart of Napa. My goal is to create an easygoing environment where you feel comfortable to ask all the burning questions you've ever had about wine and how to match it to the right kinds of foods. After all, this is about culinary enjoyment!

Great educational experience!
We booked this on-line and didn’t know what to expect. Once we figured out where to meet it was an easy walk for my wife, daughter and myself. it was a great experience!
Q
Wine pairing at its Best
Elizabeth was very knowledgeable with various wines and shared notable characteristics when tasting. Her experience was amazing and she was able to eloquently make the information understandable for us. The pairing with snacks gave us a better appreciation of all types of wines and which ones to choose. The restaurant portion of the tasting was personable and enjoyable!! 👍🏻

Well worth it
We took the intro course with Elisabeth and had such a great time. We wanted to up our wine game and took this trip and she definitely delivered. She takes the time and effort to make each outing accessible and enjoyable. Thanks, Lizzy!

Noob no more
I went into this tour a total novice and came away with enough knowledge to understand what i like and refine my palate. Elizabeth was an absolute gem; she explained concepts to us in easily understood terms.
R
Worthwhile experience for a wine novice
Elisabeth was a fun and knowledgeable guide. Would have enjoyed more opportunities to pair a greater variety of foods and more local wines, but that's probably asking too much for an introduction. Would still recommend.
J
fantastingly fun and enlightening wine pairing experience.
Elizabeth was extremely insightful and entertaining. Learned a lot about food and wine pairings and LOVED the wine and food parings we enjoyed.

Fun and approachable experience!
This was such an eye opening experience! We really learned a lot about how to put wine and food together and Elisabeth made it really fun and approachable. She is a wealth of knowledge and it was great to talk to a true Napa local.
K
Lovely experience in Napa
We went to two fabulous spots with Elisabeth, and at each the food and wine were incredible! It was even a hit with my husband, since she was very adaptive to his tastes. We learned a lot!
