We offer unique private excursions in Napa Valley focused on smaller-production wineries (many family-owned) to offer you a fun, authentic taste of what makes this beautiful area special. Expect to visit 3 wineries for tastings + a stop for lunch. 5-Star-rated on TripAdvisor, we have 9 years experience and offer pickup by SUV. Our local owner serves as guide/driver. The set price includes 6 hours of service and can be extended (extra charge). After reserving a Wine Adventure, select from a tasty menu of options: a Varietal tour (focus on Cab. Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, or Syrah); Area tour (Howell Mountain, Spring Mtn., or Sage Canyon Rd.), or Theme tour (Napa Roots, Historic/Ghost Winery, or Eco-Friendly Winery Tour). Each Wine Adventure has a focus but not a pre-set itinerary; we will plan it individually for your group. Wineries featured will vary, depending on their availability and your preferences/budget.
