I personally tailor your exclusive private wine tour to your pace, interests and palette. Frequently we are the only guests at the wineries. You will have the pleasure of meeting wonderful people in the wine industry, and learn more about the art of wine from those who know it best. The usual day is 3 wineries and a wonderful lunch to reset the palette. I will pick you up from your accommodations at our appointed time in one of my new, freshly cleaned luxury sedans or SUVs. At the end of the day, I will drop you back off at your accommodations or dinner reservation. Everything is personalized with Napa Valley Wine Tours by Gwendolyn.
