Had an amazing experience with Jim Lee. He was a patient guide and covered all the locations efficiently. He also went above and beyond to drop us off at a spot for watching the 4th of July fireworks!

We had a great time on this day trip! Our tour guide, Jim, packed in a lot of sights (some that went beyond the itinerary) on our way to and from the wineries. He was very good at maximizing our time with photo opportunities and scenic stops. We went to two wineries for tastings and had a lovely time. The only bump we ran into was wait times at lunch. We visited during a busy holiday weekend and ended up waiting over an hour for food during our 1.5 hour break for lunch. Overall a great day for our family!

Trip was great! Both wineries had their unique charms. Jacuzzi had a wonderful old school vibe with beautiful location and a cute shop with home goods. Artesa was wonderfully modern and had stunning architecture. The guide Jim Lee worked hard to include additional stops and wineries to explore the area and was very flexible. This is a great trip for people who are coming out to the area for the first time and a great introduction to Napa.

Very nice intimate experience (only 4 of 12 were on our trip) Wine tasting was nice but the individual winery employees could have been more informative. Eric on the other hand taught us most and kept us engaged the entire time

Ron was a great tour guide! My only feedback is typically wine tasting is paired with a small bites. There weren’t any small bites served at the venues
