Frequently asked

How much does a Napa wine tour with a driver cost?

$630 is the starting price for a 6-hour Napa wine tour in a Business Sedan ($105/hr × the 6-hour wine-tour minimum, the same minimum for every vehicle), before gratuity. An Executive SUV starts at $125/hr. Most groups book six to eight hours, tasting fees are paid to the wineries, and your quote is confirmed in writing.

What is the minimum for a Napa wine tour?

6 hours is the minimum for a Napa wine tour in a sedan, booked as our wine-tour package at $105/hr. That covers two or three tastings with lunch at an unhurried pace. Longer days are billed for the extra time, and the full price is confirmed in writing before you book.

Can the chauffeur book winery tastings?

No. Tasting reservations are made with the wineries directly, and many Napa estates require them. Share your confirmed times when you book and the desk plans the route, the order of stops and lunch around them, with buffer time between each tasting so nobody is rushed.

Can we bring wine back in the car?

Tell the desk how much wine you expect to buy when you book, so the desk can size the vehicle for bottles or cases alongside your guests and luggage. The chauffeur loads purchases at each stop. Ask the desk about anything you plan to ship or carry on a flight.

Is gratuity included?

No. The quoted fare excludes it. A 20% gratuity is added when you book, shown separately. Fares include tolls, airport fees and fuel, and the wine-tour quote covers the vehicle and chauffeur for the booked hours. Tasting fees are paid to the wineries. Your total is confirmed in writing before you book.

Do you arrange the winery reservations?

We help coordinate your itinerary and timing, and most Napa wineries now require advance reservations — we'll advise which estates to book and pace the day around your confirmed tastings.

How many wineries can we visit in a day?

Two on a half-day and three to four on a full day is the comfortable, enjoyable pace — enough to savor each tasting and a proper lunch without feeling rushed.

What vehicles are available for wine tours?

Black-on-black Mercedes sedans for small parties, a Cadillac Escalade SUV for up to six, and Executive Sprinters for groups and corporate offsites of up to twelve or more per vehicle.

Can you pick us up from San Francisco or the airport?

Yes. We collect you from San Francisco and Bay Area hotels, from SFO, OAK or SJC, or from any Napa/Sonoma inn — and return you on your own schedule.

Is this good for a corporate offsite or client entertaining?

Absolutely. Executive Sprinters, reserved group tastings and lunches, coordinated timing, one coordinator and consolidated billing.

The chauffeur knows the valley

Why a Napa Valley private tour car makes the day

A Napa Valley chauffeur who has driven the valley for ten years changes the day in ways a self-serve car-service booking cannot replicate. The chauffeur knows which Highway 29 estates accept walk-ins at 11:00 on a Tuesday in September versus which require a reservation three weeks out; which Silverado Trail tasting rooms have working elevators for a mobility-restricted guest; which lunch tables in Yountville will seat a party of eight at 12:30 without a two-week notice; and which Carneros-to-Calistoga chauffeur route avoids the harvest-season tractor traffic. For a Napa birthday wine tour car or a Napa wedding wine-day chauffeur booking, the chauffeur bench pre-stages at the hotel the night before. For a corporate offsite Sprinter wine tour Napa pattern, we coordinate reserved group tastings and the dinner anchor against the schedule. Napa Valley wine tours have a six-hour minimum for every vehicle; Mercedes-Benz E-Class / Lincoln Aviator or similar from $105/hr + gratuity, Cadillac Escalade / Chevrolet Suburban or similar from $125/hr + gratuity, Executive Sprinter quote-only against the specific group size. Monterey Peninsula wine days remain quote-only against the specific itinerary.
