Tour Description
Our newest product! This is the tour for those wine adventurers who are keen to get off the valley floor and see the majestic Napa Valley from the mountains overlooking it. This tour visits two gorgeous alpine-style wineries.
Like our other Small-group tours, this adventure is designed to be a fun, relaxing day out in the wine country. Your tour guide will share stories and anecdotes, as well as imparting just the right amount of details about winemaking and grape growing. This is a social experience, with most of our guests making new friends by the end of the day.
What’s Included
- Visits two wineries.
- Access to explore the winery grounds and see various aspects of the winemaking process.
- Brief stories, anecdotes and non-boring winemaking information will be shared by your driver/guide.
- Wherever possible, we’ll arrange access to winery owners / winemakers.
- Pick-up and drop-off at your hotel or other point of origin.
What’s Not Included
- Winery tasting fees (For our Small-group tour guests, wineries offer a significantly discounted tasting fee of $50 per person. This fee is usually waived for anyone purchasing wine or joining that winery’s wine club).
- Driver/Guide Gratuity (Driver tipping is at your discretion, except for parties of 5 or more traveling together. We’ll add a 20% gratuity for those).
“The picnic lunch we ate at a winery on top of a mountain was breathtaking.” – KEVIN, ROCKVILLE, MD – As reviewed on Trip Advisor
Frequently Asked Questions
What is your cancellation policy?
You may cancel your join-in tour reservation anytime up to 24 hours before the tour with no penalty. Cancellation fee of $35 per person will apply to any cancellations made within 24 hours of tour departure.
What about winery tasting fees?
If you choose to taste at the winery, they will charge you a tasting fee. These fees typically run about $50 per person, per winery, but each fee is often waived with wine purchase or by joining their wine club.
Which wineries will we see?
Currently, we’re visiting the amazing Pride Mountain Vineyards and the equally impressive Keenan Winery, both of which straddle beautiful Spring Mountain, high above the valley floor (winery substitutions are occasionally necessary).
What sort of vans are used for this tour?
Our vehicles are Ford transit vans with forward facing seats-smoother for navigating mountain roads.
Will the shuttle pick up from my lodging location?
Yes…well, maybe. Some private addresses are inaccessible or too remote for our shuttles. Please call us with the address and we’ll check for you.
What if we’re staying outside of the area?
Some folks drive in to our meeting location. Some book a private tour instead, since we have a much wider pick-up radius for those.
Do you allow for food allergies or dietary restrictions?
We operate our own commercial kitchen and have a culinary team, so we can generally accommodate most food allergies or dietary restrictions.
