6 Hour Napa Valley Wine Tour
(with optional Gourmet Picnic Lunch)
This tour is a great choice for both returning and first-time visitors. Your tour begins when we pick your party up at any Napa Valley location in your own private stretch limousine. Your group will be greeted by your own personal chauffeur/guide for the day, and pampered with complimentary champagne. On this tour you will visit four to five premium wineries and taste several different wine varietals in some of Napa's friendliest tasting rooms. You will also have the opportunity to take a fun and informative tour through a state-of-the-art wine making facility. This is an excellent way to learn more about the art of wine making, and further your own personal appreciation for wine. Finally, no trip to the wine country would be complete without experiencing a catered gourmet picnic lunch at a scenic winery overlooking the vineyards of Napa Valley. If you are tired of seeing the same tourist sites, or wish to have a more intimate experience, then call us today to book this package. Availability is limited, and we often sell out. This tour starts at 10:00AM from any Napa Valley location and returns by 4:00PM.
8 Hour Napa Valley Wine Tour
Same as our 6 Hour Napa Valley Wine Tour, but can start from any San Francisco or East Bay location. If you are visiting San Francisco or live here in the Bay Area, then join us for a day of fun and adventure that will leave you filled with unforgettable memories. This tour starts at 9:00AM and returns by 5:00PM.
