About This Tour
Napa is home to over 500 wineries, so finding the right one for your palate can be a challenge! Allow me to introduce you to a few of the best kept secrets in the valley. While everyone knows the big names along Highway 29, I will take you to two small, family owned, artisanal cellars that most people (even locals!) have never heard of. We'll talk sustainable farming (the difference between industrial, organic, and biodynamic), wild yeast fermentation, traditional winemaking practices, and the best part, talking about and tasting the wines themselves. In between our tastings (each visit should last between 90-120 minutes), we'll lunch at a renowned Napa Valley restaurant, where we can enjoy a few wines as they were intended: alongside a meal. Tours are limited to 4 guests to allows for an intimate and personalized experience. If you don't see the day or time that fits your schedule, feel free to reach out and we can find something that works for you!
