A lot of the experience in coming to Napa and Sonoma is learning about all that wine country has to offer beyond the big names and most visited regular spots. A large part of what we offer is to customize your tour day specifically to what you wish to see, do or taste for your particular group or occasion. Some are first timers that are just overwhelmed by all the offerings and others have been here several times and want to see something completely new or different. We’ve come up with a few specialized themed tours below to accommodate various palates and also make it a little easier to choose the type of experience you wish for the day.
Planning Services & Itinerary Review
Part of what we also offer along with our tours is acting as your personal ‘concierge’ for your entire trip. We’ll get you great recommends for dining, tasting, or activities on your own along with being your sounding board for any plans already in place.
Enjoy and cheers!
