Sonoma + NAPA WINE TOURS

Tell me, how does it work?  

Your curated wine adventure begins with a 10:30am pickup at your hotel or Airbnb, where you'll settle into one of our restored VW buses stocked with everything you need for the perfect day – snacks, ice-cold water, phone chargers, cozy blankets, cooling fans, and a first aid kit for peace of mind.

Our thoughtfully crafted itinerary takes you to three distinct tastings: starting at 11am for your first pour, followed by lunch and wine at 1pm, and wrapping up with a final tasting at 3pm. That lunch? It's included in your tour price and completely customized to your tastes and dietary needs. We take your order in the morning, pick it up fresh from our favorite locally-owned deli, and deliver it right to your wine tasting table.

Want to visit a specific winery that's been calling your name? Have your heart set on lunch at a particular vineyard? No problem. Every tour can be customized to your preferences. When you book, a quick questionnaire lets you share all those special requests – whether it's bringing along your four-legged friend, accommodating the kids, or hitting that must-visit tasting room. Our tour manager will reach out to confirm every detail and make sure your day unfolds exactly as you've imagined.

At day's end, we'll drop you back where we found you, or better yet, at that dinner spot you've been eyeing all day.
