The 10 best Napa Valley wine tours to sip and see Wine Country

There are many ways to drink wine in Napa. Try one of these Napa Valley wine tours via hot air balloon, vintage train or stylish tuk-tuk.

One of the easiest ways to experience Napa Valley is on a fun tour. If you're planning to drive through Wine Country, consider booking an informative tour and tasting at one of the best wineries in Napa . If you'd rather leave the car behind,  you can board a train, zip around on a Segway, peddle through the vineyards on a bicycle or take in the view of the valley from a hot air balloon. A standard Napa Valley wine tour will cover the history of the winery and explain how wine is made, but may also include venturing into the cellars, vineyards, and even a museum or art gallery before ending with a wine tasting. Afterwards, sit down at one of the best restaurants in Napa before you head home.

Napa Valley Wineries

Our deep roots produce world-class wine and unforgettable experiences, enjoy intimate wine tastings, expansive outdoor spaces, and behind-the-scenes private tours of wine cellars and caves. plus, 95% of our wineries are family-owned and operated, which means nearly every spot will feel like home..

When you’re ready for a taste of Napa Valley, our wineries are ready to provide you with an unforgettable experience.

With hundreds of wineries to explore, each with its own unique style, setting and history, planning your Napa Valley wine tasting excursion may seem overwhelming. But whether you are visiting just for fun or to delve into that library collection and stock the cellar, there is an experience and price point for everyone.

With wineries updating their tasting areas to create more spacious, intimate settings, capacity is limited and tastings are conducted by appointment only. Some wineries have permit restrictions that limit the number of guests that can visit each day, so it’s best to plan tasting appointments a few weeks ahead of time.

Take a look at the directory below to find the right wineries for your getaway.

#VISITNAPAVALLEY

With hundreds of wineries and miles of the valley to explore, we want you to know there's no wrong way to enjoy Napa Valley  

Can I wear jeans to a winery?

Yes! Jeans are acceptable year-round – we call it wine country casual (for women — sundresses, blouses and skirts, nice jeans, wedges, sandals, etc.; for men – golf shirts, khaki pants, nice jeans, dressier shorts, stylish sneakers, boat shoes, etc.).

A more upscale winery might call for darker denim, and be sure to dress in layers as many winery experiences take place outdoors and tours often take guests through wine caves and chilled cellar areas.

How do I taste wine?

First of all: Wine should be enjoyed , so don't overthink it – have fun and drink what you like.

If you want to taste like a professional:

• LOOK at the color and clarity
• SWIRL to release the aromas
• SNIFF to prepare your palate
• SIP and enjoy the complexities
• Spit into a "dump bucket" if you don't want to get inebriated.

Grapeline -- Napa Valley's premier Wine Tour -- offers an insider's view of Napa Valley Wine Country's wineries. Get ready for a fun-filled day visiting a variety of wineries, each with a character as rich and individual as the wines they produce. Grapeline offers fun, carefree, hosted private tours throughout Napa Valley Wine Country.

Are you ready for Temecula’s first Kay Syrah Signature Series Event of 2024? I'm excited to present 'Bubbles, Brunch, & Bourbon,' an exquisite journey through Temecula's renowned wine country on Sunday, May 26, 2024, with Grapeline’s Chief Winos, John and Kim Kelliher. This tour will offer an unforgettable experience, combining the elegance of sparkling wines, the delight of a gourmet brunch, and the rich warmth of bourbon at Temecula's most beloved wineries.

Our adventure begins at Carter Estate Winery and Resort , a gem in the heart of Temecula. Here, you'll indulge in their meticulously crafted sparkling wines, produced using the true champagne method, Méthode Champenoise. Carter Estate's commitment to excellence makes it the perfect starting point for our day, setting a high standard with bubbles that dance on your palate.

Next, we'll visit Masia de la Vinya Winery , where the charm of Spanish influence meets the lush landscapes of Temecula. Prepare your taste buds for a culinary delight as brunch will be masterfully prepared by Savage Chef Dylan Soro. Known for his innovative and fearless approach to flavors, Chef Soro's creations promise to be a feast for the senses, perfectly paired with Masia's exquisite wines.

Our final stop takes us to Oak Mountain Winery , where we'll embrace the bold spirit of bourbon. In April 2024, Oak Mountain will begin offering distillery tours, and our visit will be among the first to experience their tour.

Excellent experience - Book with Pat!! From my initial inquiry his communication and follow up were flawless. He wanted to understand our wants for the trip and planned accordingly. I felt like a friend was looking out for us and he was the best local resource for booking wine tours, food recommendations & so on. His Mercedes was so clean and provided space & comfort. We felt safe. Best service. Will book with Pat for every trip!!

Pat is an excellent guide for the Napa Valley for several reasons. Pat had pre-planned some ideas before our planned excursion -- and turned out, we pretty much took Pats advice. Pat is involved when needed, rolls with the punches, isn't fussy and is anticipatory to his clients wants / needs. His great relationships with the vineyards make for a more personal stop-over at each destination. Lastly, we returned to Yountville the following evening to have dinner at a restaurant at Pats urging and had one of the best meals of our lives, (Redd). I recommend Pat and his services to the most experienced Napa traveler to the novice making their first tour to the region. Thanks Pat!

Pat is an amazing guide. He took a group of 20 of us on a great day to both established vineyards and family run wineries you can only find through people in Napa with knowledge of the area. Don't bother figuring out where to go on your own, let pat plan your day and just have fun!

The woman above that gave that bad review has obvious major emotional issues and must have been a hillary supporter. Pat was great , so informative , just the best ! Thanks for the great experience ! He is over the top on customer service.

Where do I begin? Patrick was amazing. I went to Napa with 4 of my girlfriends to celebrate a couple 40th birthdays. From the moment I contacted Patrick I was impressed. His communication during the planning of our trip was on point. Anytime I had a question he responded right away. The day of our wine tasting he arrived on time and was a wealth of information. You can tell he has a passion for his job and wine. He took care of us all day. Whether it was taking pictures at each vineyard, grabbing waters for us or bringing us lunch. I can't say enough about him and his service. We will definitely use him again the next time we go to Napa.

This is a long rant, but want my winery and transportation friends to read: Yesterday, I took advantage of being a local in this amazing wine country we call home, and went wine tasting with my beautiful daughters for my baby's birthday. As we left our first stop Mumm, we noticed this douche bag tour driver who was parked in TWO handicapped spots. We didn't say anything to him, but as I started to exit my parking spot, he hollared to me "do you need me to move?" I hollared back, " no, but I need you to not park illegally". He yelled back to me, "well, I need you not to drink and drive, but there's nothing I can do about that!" I got out of my car, going up to his and told him that I am the designated driver for my daughters that day and I'm not drinking and driving. He immediately began to yell at me, something about I don't have the right car and insurance and " those aren't you daughters, lady!" I asked who he worked for and he refused to tell me.. So I asked my daughter to take a pic of his TCP number. This sent him into a rage. He jumped out of his car, screaming "you want to take pictures, I'll take pictures do you!" And proceeded to take pics of me, my daughters and my car. He proceeded to scream and yell at us, following us back to our car in a threatening manner. Another woman in the parking lot got involved, trying to calm him down, but he ended up taking pics of her as well. We quickly got into my car, as we felt very threatened. He moved his car beside ours, and I asked him again who he drives for. He said NVT. So I said, "ok, I'm calling Mike" then he said he is with Beau and I said, " ok, I'm calling Tom". He then backed down. (Clearly didn't drive for either) We left to avoid a worse situation. I researched and found out that he's with Napa Valley Excursions. I contacted them this morning, explaining this situation and all I got in return was that they are sorry and it won't happen again. They did not try to comfort me, make me feel safe, state their company's position - nothing. So here I am, Spreading the word. Do not use this company, as he's a time bomb waiting to explode!!!! I also will be filing a complaint with the state transportation board. !!!

We had a fantastic day celebrating our 10 year anniversary. Patrick was wonderfully helpful and professional . I had given him some names of places we wanted to go and he planed the whole day and the timing for us. Even if we hadn't know where we wanted to go, he would have given us great ideas where to visit. At one point, we were running late and he proactively contacted the next place to let them know our new ETA. I really appreciated that attention to detail. It was so stress free and relaxing! Having given many tours myself to my friends, I wished I could have Patrick every time I go tasting. I also wanted to comment on the vehicle itself which was beautiful and perfectly clean and maintained. I could not have been happier with the service and our overall experience. I will definitely use Napa Valley Excursions again for my next wine tour.

I live in the beautiful Napa Valley. I had four lifetime friends coming to visit our lovey valley. Patrick was the perfect host for tour and wine tasting. We all fell in love with our lovely tour guide, host, and guardian. We felt so pampered and were able to completely relax. Patrick is an outstanding personality who has a wealth of knowledge and will help you plan according to your tastes and budget. He guided us through the most delicious and pleasant day. I want to adopt Patrick! He's a love. I read the one negative review above. Two things crossed my mind. Why did Rebecca make herself the parking space police, and why did she get out of her vehicle? Then I thought "alcohol." Sounded like someone who had one too many wine tastings and was behaving in ways differently than they would sober. Too bad because I'm sure she ruined her own groups experience. Patrick is a joy. Have fun and welcome to Napa!

I am so happy to give all 5 stars to Napa Valley Excursions and our amazing limo driver Patrick. I rented the stretch Escalade for a bachelorette party and my friends and I couldn't have been more pleased. The limo was gorgeous, clean, and filled with fun extras like champagne and mixers. It was the most glamorous limo any of us had ever been in! The price was far less than anywhere else I called, (and I called a lot of places). The best part of the experience was our driver Patrick. He was so friendly, professional, and welcoming. He was timely and very responsive every time I texted or called him. He was so easy going that he had no problem with our many last minute itinerary changes. Patrick charmed me and all my friends, and we all agreed he was the best limo driver any of us had ever had! I highly recommend Napa Valley Excursions.

My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Pat. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and was able to adapt our day and unique experience with our specific preferences in mind. Pat has excellent connections with some off-the-beaten path wineries (which were fantastic finds), and made the entire process and experience smooth and rewarding. Highly recommended.

I was raised in the town of Napa, and after completing my undergraduate degree at the University of California at San Diego, I returned to the Napa Valley with a completely fresh perspective of what Wine Country has to offer. After gaining valuable experience in various aspects of the wine industry, I quickly realized my love of sharing the beauty of the Napa Valley with others. For nearly fifteen years, I have enjoyed conducting winery tours for thousands of visitors from around the world.

I have been able to meet some of the most wonderful people and every day I'm grateful to return home to an amazing wife and six beautiful children.

It is my pleasure to create a unique wine tour experience for you that only a Napa native can provide.   Having lived here my entire life, I have been fortunate enough to have established strong relationships with many of the most exclusive wineries in the Valley.   With great attention to detail and first-hand knowledge of this beautiful area, I am equipped to create an experience for you that will give you a true taste of what the Napa Valley has to offer.   I take exceptional pride in providing my guests with unique experiences at extraordinary vineyards and wineries that are off the beaten path.   Additionally, it is important for me to work directly with my guests to create an ideal itinerary based upon their interest in and knowledge of wine, as well as their favorite varietals (cabernet, chardonnay, etc.).

I am proud to introduce Napa Valley Wine Excursions to you, and my trusted team of guides and I are confident that your experience with us will be unparalleled.  Please fill out a  request form  or call me directly. Based upon your preferences, I will design an itinerary for your consideration.
