Experience Napa Valley at its Best with a Private Full-Day Wine Tour in a Luxury Vehicle
Imagine spending a day meandering through the rolling hills of Napa Valley, sampling world-class wines, and doing so in the comfort of a sleek, plush vehicle—all without the worry of driving. For around $625 per group (up to 3 people), you can customize your own itinerary or lean on your driver’s suggestions, making this private tour an ideal way to explore at your own pace. The tour lasts between 6 to 8 hours, and its flexibility makes it perfect whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned Napa visitor seeking a more intimate experience.
What we particularly love about this experience is how it combines personalized attention with luxury transportation—you’re not just another group on a bus, but a small, private party with a dedicated driver guiding the way. Plus, the fact that you can choose how long to spend at each winery or get tailored recommendations means your day will match your wine interests and pace perfectly.
One consideration to keep in mind: wine tasting fees and lunch expenses are not included, so you’ll want to budget for those separately. Also, since most visits are by appointment, planning ahead with reservations is essential. This tour is best suited for those craving privacy, comfort, and the freedom to craft their wine tasting day without the typical crowd or schedule constraints.
If you’re looking to enjoy Napa with a sense of exclusivity, personalized service, and relaxed luxury, this tour hits the right notes. It’s especially ideal for couples, small groups, or anyone who values expert guidance and a tailored experience over generic bus tours.

The core package includes round-trip transportation in a luxury vehicle, a driver/guide, bottled water, and concierge assistance with planning your route and making winery reservations. The fee of $625 is per group, accommodating up to three people, which keeps the experience intimate and manageable.
The Itinerary and What to Expect
The tour is entirely customizable. You can select the wineries you want to visit or rely on your driver’s suggestions if you’re unsure where to start. Your driver acts as both chauffeur and guide, sharing insights into the region and helping optimize your day.
