Description of Napa Valley Tour
Napa Valley is home to California's finest wines and sparkling wines. The valley is divided into a number of designated wine grape-growing regions called AVA (American Viticultural Area). These wine growing regions are: Calistoga, St. Helena, Oakville, Rutherford, Yountville, and some other outlying areas. Wine lovers can choose between elegant chateau wineries or small boutique wineries located off the beaten path. A combination of both would be the ideal way to experience our Napa Valley wine tasting tour including Silverado scenic wine trail and its picturesque wineries and vineyards.
We offer guided tours to Napa Valley with certified and experienced tour guides in limousines, 4X4 SUV, jeeps, luxury limousine vans and/or by bus. This will depend on the size of your group and may include complimentary pick-up and drop-off anywhere in San Francisco Bay Area or in California Wine Country. Our SUV tour is highly recommended and is the best way to explore Napa Valley scenic and back roads. We can include your wine tasting fees and lunch in an elegant restaurant or as an outdoor picnic lunch, within any winery of your choice located in Napa Valley. We also offer charter tours, regardless of the size of your group, or will arrange the required vehicles to escort you to your favorite wineries, according to your schedule and itinerary. You may book your tour directly on the secure reservation form or send us a travel request and we will take care of the rest.
