Questions we hear first

Is Yountville part of Napa Valley?

Yes. Yountville is a town in the middle of Napa Valley, about nine miles north of downtown Napa on Highway 29. It has its own appellation and is home to The French Laundry and Domaine Chandon. We drive there like any other stop on the Napa line.

Napa or Sonoma: which should we pick?

Napa is compact, so you spend less of the day in the car and more of it at famous Cabernet estates. Sonoma is larger and more varied, with longer drives between stops. With one day, pick one. With two, do both.

How many wineries fit in one day?

Three, with lunch. Most tastings are seated, by appointment, and run 60 to 90 minutes, so a fourth usually means rushing one of them.

Do you book the tastings, or do we?

Bring your own list or ask us for one. Most wineries take reservations online, and we are glad to suggest an order that keeps the driving short.

Can you pick us up straight from the airport?

Yes, from SFO, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento and Santa Rosa. Give us the flight number and the driver follows it, so a delay never costs you the car.

Do you drive to wine regions outside Napa and Sonoma?

Yes. From the Bay Area we drive to Livermore, the Santa Cruz Mountains, Lodi, Mendocino, Carmel Valley and Paso Robles on request. See the full list for regions in other states.
