Choose from tours that run from a minimum of 6 hours up to 13 hours, with a tiered pricing structure tied to tour length.

Personalized small-group vineyard runs

The service is positioned as a personalized, small-group wine tour that emphasizes leisure and flexibility across Napa and Sonoma vineyards.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The day unfolds as a relaxed sequence of drives and tastings: you’re met and then driven in your own car between select vineyards and tasting rooms, with timing set by the tour length you choose. With the driving handled, the focus is entirely on wine, conversation, and the valley scenery.
