Short and sweet taste of the wine country.
If you do not have a full day to spend in Wine Country, this 4.5 hour tour is perfect for you. Visit the lovely Carneros region at the top of San Francisco Bay, where some of America's best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are grown. Carneros is home to makers of wonderful still and sparkling wines and you will taste wine at a minimum of two wineries.

The tour is 4.5 hours long.
Reviews
Rick picked us up right on time and we drove north to the Napa Valley. The countryside alone is worth the trip, even without the winery tours and tastings. We were taken first to Bouchaine Winery where Troy gave us a first class tour of the workings of a grape vineyard and wine making facility, including an extraordinary tour of the vineyards from the back of a truck! Worth every minute. Rick is somewhat of a wine expert himself and provided useful and interesting information to the wine newbies in the group. He showed exceptional patience with our questions and never belayed any sense that we were the ignorant wine newbies from New Mexico. Great tour. Rick did a great job of getting us around in the van we rented. He knew all the tricks to avoid traffic snarls and tourist traps. He was pleasant and knowledgable. A gentleman in every sense of the word.
