Napa Valley Wine Tours

A full-day wine tour is the quintessential Napa Valley experience. Departing from San Francisco or local hotels, these curated journeys wind through some of the most celebrated wine country on earth — past rolling hills of Cabernet Sauvignon, through the charming towns of Yountville and St. Helena, and into world-class tasting rooms where you'll sip wines that rival the best of Bordeaux. Visiting from the Bay Area? Our step-by-step day-trip plan from San Francisco covers driving, ferries, and morning departure times.

Most full-day tours include 3–4 winery visits, a gourmet picnic lunch among the vines, and transportation so you can taste freely. Many travelers can't decide between the two valleys — our head-to-head guide to choosing Napa or Sonoma breaks down which one fits your trip — or dive deep into a single appellation and let these tours absorb the driving for you.

For those who want the ultimate wine country experience, private tours deliver unmatched luxury and personalization. Your own professional chauffeur arrives in a premium vehicle — from luxury SUVs to stretch limousines — and whisks you to the wineries you've always dreamed of visiting, on your schedule. Match the experience with a stay at a boutique inn or vineyard resort for a seamless luxury weekend.

Private tours open doors that group experiences simply can't — appointment-only estates, behind-the-scenes barrel tastings, cellar tours with the winemaker. They're the top choice for proposals, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and bachelorette weekends with a big group. Most accommodate up to 6 guests, making the per-person value surprisingly accessible.
