Top Napa & Sonoma Wine Making Workshops

Enter the dark, mysterious, stylish space and find yourself transported to a cosmopolitan oasis. We forge our way off the beaten path, seek interesting varietals and blend them together to make wines that are approachable and thought-provoking. You won’t find another place like it in Napa.

It is important to note that I am very selective about my choice of wines. With over 500 wineries in the valley, many small, fine wine oriented producers are overlooked by large scale industrial operations. We will taste some of Napa’s most heralded wineries (likely ones you’ve never heard of), as well as international wines. I like to champion true artisans and support small businesses!

Take a tour to three backroads Sonoma wineries, and get more out of your trip to the Sonoma Valley than you would if you explored alone, on this small-group, half-day tour. Not only does your guide pick three impressive wineries to visit (tasting fees own expense), but they also set up a picnic lunch for your group to enjoy in a winery setting. Round-trip transport from your Sonoma hotel is also included, so you can focus on enjoyment and leave the driving to someone else.

Napa Valley and Sonoma County are held in high regard for their vineyards and wineries.

The included concierge service helps you to select and book tastings (own expense)—so there's nothing to arrange yourself.

Make exploring Wine Country easy on this tour aboard the Napa Valley Wine Trolley. The open-air cable car is a replica of the historic trolleys seen in San Francisco and offers views of the vineyards as you travel to three or four wineries to sample the local wines (tastings at your own expense). A guide provides commentary about Napa’s rich history. Lunch at one of the wineries is also included for extra convenience.

Discover the Napa Valley at a relaxed pace on a full-day, small-group tour.

Your experience also includes a complimentary picnic lunch at a charming winery.

Embark on a unique Wine Country experience with a trip aboard the Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley.

Join us on a day-long, small-group wine tour of Charming Hideaway Mountainside wineries in Napa! You’ll visit two wineries tucked away in the hills above the Napa Valley and be served a picnic lunch in an idyllic winery setting. Your tour guide will tell fascinating stories and share many interesting tidbits about local history, culture and wine making. You have the option to taste at the wineries (tasting fees run about $50 per person at each winery). Our specialty is intimate, light hearted and truly memorable experiences. Once the tour concludes, you will be dropped off from where you were picked up. The tour typically has 8-10 guests on board.

If you want to see more of Sonoma beyond the wineries, set off on an open-air adventure through the countryside on a fun and eco-friendly electric trike. Cruise alongside rolling vineyards and orchards on Sonoma's backroads, stopping along the way at both historic sites and culinary destinations. Of course, no day in Sonoma would be complete without wine, so you'll also stop at one or two locally loved wineries for a taste.

Treat yourself to a gourmet food and wine tour in Yountville, a small town in California's Napa Valley that is home to a high concentration of restaurants helmed by celebrity chefs and considered a top foodie destination.
