I have an extremely unique point of view into the Napa Valley from a winery perspective as I have personally visited and tasted with more than 650 commercial wine producers (wineries) in Napa over the past nearly 5 years. As a result I have a plethora of resources to draw from in regards to customizing any tour to the Napa Valley. I know the Napa Valley inside and out, numerous wine makers and types of tasting experiences. I enjoy guiding and providing information about this incredible place. Have your own list of wineries? I would be happy to give you comments.

Based on my research, all my winery reviews are online at The Napa Wine Project. All tours are private and customized for your party.

NOTE. Please send me a message before booking the tour. My schedule changes very quickly and I need to confirm your requested date first. Thanks!

  Itinerary:
Napa Valley Tour:

I am flexible based on your interest. Here are several options

1. Wineries:
Visit 3-5 wineries per day, I will ask you what type of wineries you would like to visit and then tailor the tour towards your interests
2. Sightseeing - Old Faithful Geyser, Petrified Forest, Calistoga
3. Hiking - Mt. St. Helena, Table Rock
4. Custom, you let me know what you would like to do

Included in the Tour:
Transportation & area information

Tours usually start around 10am with pickup at your hotel and we are back to your hotel by 5-6pm (depending on location - but maybe slightly later). Most wineries start closing between 4-5pm but there are certainly places to taste that stay open later.

Not included:
Winery tasting/tour prices, food
  Where and When:
Meet up location: We will meet at your location - usually this ranges from the Napa area in the south to Calistoga in the north, ie anywhere along the Napa Valley.
End location: We drop you off at your hotel - if you prefer not to be dropped off at your hotel and would rather be dropped off somewhere along our itinerary, please let me know.

  What's Included:
Transportation to and from your hotel and guide services are included - food and entrance fees are not included. We can pick a restaurant depending on your taste and budget.

Black long Lincoln vehicles, humvees, limos etc attract attention and "tell" people you are on a wine tour - this is not my style. You will be driven around incognito in a 2010 Meteor Grey Subaru - max 4 people. More than 4? No problem - we have a van.

Note that depending on where you are in the Napa Valley, you will be an hour to 90 minutes from San Francisco.
  What's Extra:
Wine purchases
Winery admissions
Any other Entrance Fees,
Food & snacks

Credit card will suffice for everything. Bring cash if you like as well.
