Five-Day Premium Package Wine Tour (SUV)

5 daysPrivateUp to 6 passengers
Luxury vehicle parked among vineyard rows in wine country
Five days of curated winery visits and luxury transport through Napa and Sonoma.

This five-day private package is built for travelers who want a full, unhurried exploration of Napa and Sonoma. The operator provides a luxury SUV and professional chauffeur, coordinating 3–4 winery stops each day and handling reservations so you can focus on tastings and the landscape. Sample itineraries include educational tours, leisurely lunches, and time to linger at family-run estates alongside celebrated producers.

What sets this option apart is its scale: with five days of dedicated touring, you can take the time to visit a mix of boutique vineyards and flagship houses, cultivate relationships with vintners, and schedule meals without racing from stop to stop. The operator notes flexible start times and private service for up to six passengers—an ideal format for milestone celebrations or a boutique wine-country retreat.

Four-Day Premium Package Wine Tour (SUV)

4 daysPrivateUp to 6 passengers

You’ll still travel in a luxury vehicle with a professional chauffeur; the operator typically plans 3–4 winery visits per day and arranges lunch stops according to your preference.

This choice balances ambition and leisure: it’s long enough to visit a selection of top producers and smaller, characterful estates without committing a full week. Flexible pickup times and personalized curation make it a strong pick for couples or small groups who want an immersive wine-country stretch that fits alongside a coastal stay at Dillon Beach.
