What to Keep in Mind
While the luxury and flexibility are major perks, remember that wine tasting fees are not included, so you’ll need extra for tastings. Since lunch isn’t included, you can plan ahead—either pack a picnic or choose from the many excellent eateries in Napa. The tour requires calling ahead to arrange winery visits, so a bit of planning upfront will maximize your day.
Covid-19 policies mean no passengers in the front seat for safety, and all visits are by appointment—so flexibility and planning are essential. Also, the minimum age for participants is 21, which is standard for wine tours.

It’s ideal for first-timers who want guidance and comfort, or couples and small groups wanting a private, personalized adventure. You’ll especially appreciate the convenience of hotel pickup and drop-off, making your experience seamless.
If you’re a wine lover who values comfort, flexibility, and personalized service, this private Napa Valley tour is a smart choice.
