California Wines Review

Champie was knowledgable and friendly highly recommended

We had wonderful days touring and tasting thanks to our driver! We're looking forward to booking you for our next trip!

Karl was such a knowledgeable person who made our experience so much better. Not just a driver, but full of advice on restaurants, knowledge about wine and the vineyards and a great person to spend our day with.

We had a fantastic experience with our driver Henry on our first visit to Napa. He followed all the covid protocols and was generally a pleasure to be with! Would recommend!

What an excellent experience! We had so much more fun letting our driver worry about getting us from site to site. Our driver, Robert, was fantastic- filled with great information and fun jokes. We definitely recommend their service.

This was such an amazing Wine Tour. I planned it for my best friend's Bachelorette Party and it was awesome. They made great timing and we were able to get to and from our 4-5 wine stops. No rushing at all - just a relaxing and safe time since we didnt have to drive. I would definitely book them again when I make it to Napa.

We had the best experience!!! Barry was a DREAM! He was super responsive and punctual, offered great recommendations and provided such an informative tour! He called wineries when we were running late for reservations, got us delicious breadsticks and snacks for the car in between tours and called in lunch for us! If you want the best experience, fun and stress free look no further! Also, very inexpensive compared to other companies! He just drove our rental! Thanks so much!

Marty was incredibly knowledgeable of the area and really made our experience a day to remember. He discussed our plans before we traveled there and helped us achieve the tour we wanted. He also got us in to vineyards we never expected to visit. Not only would we use them again, but we have already reached out to book.

Best wine tour ever! We've got the best, very knowledgable driver. Thank you Dave!

We loved our wine tasting day with them. Easy to work with, and gave us a very knowledgeable and safe driver. We particularly loved that they helped plan the itinerary, and that they pick you up wherever you and your rental car are. Price was reasonable as well. Would definitely recommend them for a day exploring wine country!

Great day of touring wineries with our driver. She gave us great information on wineries before our trip and made the day pleasurable and safe.

Great service! We will be in town for Bottle Rock in a few weeks! Any possibility that we can reserve a driver for some day time wine tasting if needed?

Champie was so patient, professional and courteous. We loved our experience with Champie and Napa Sonoma Wine Tasting. We will definitely be using them again!

We used a Napa Sonoma Wine Tasting Driver for a trip while visiting Sebastopol. From the moment Jill, our driver, arrived we were put at ease with what our day entailed. She was so knowledgable of the whole area and knew what were the best vineyards to visit. She was familiar with many of the winery staff and we received VIP treatment. Everything about the experience was to notch. I would totally use her service again and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to tour the Napa Sonoma area.

We unfortunately had to cancel our trip with them, but everyone we were in contact with was friendly and answered all of our questions promptly and courteously.

Chris was the absolute best! He was on time, had an ice chest with ice ready for us. He also picked up sandwiches for our picnic. He provided a fantastic party bus for our son s engagement party. Cannot recommend him or this company enough!!

A+ Experience. Kevin was a great driver, showing us amazing lunch spots and great wineries along the way. Highly recommended.

Excellent driver. Arrived promptly and he knew the area very well. We will definitely use again.

John our driver was awesome! He brought us to small vineyards we never would have found. He was engaging and informative and the perfect host. Can t wait to come back to Napa and will definitely request John again!

Bruce was a fantastic driver. Very punctual, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

We had a great driver! He knew the area like the back of his hand and had suggestions to make our trip even better than I planned. He drove my car respectfully and safely. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent car service!! Our driver and car were super. I would highly recommend using them for any of your Napa car service needs

Great service- driver was prompt, accommodating, and made sure we had a wonderful day in wine country. We would use them again.

The driver did not show, we called them repetitively for a response - upon finally picking up they claimed to be on their way. However, this was an hour and a half after the scheduled pick up time. Instead of waiting around I dedicated to drive and not drink on my day in Sonoma. Thanks for a wasted day.....

Our driver was a friendly, nice guy and willing to take us anywhere we asked. Unfortunately he was not so well versed in the best ways to get around. Therefore taking us on a route that took a half hour longer than it should have to get to Napa. The route he took us on also went directly thru the mountains which made several of our passengers sick with all the curvy windy roads and took much longer to drive. We all knew this because we had GPS it on our phones, but he insisted going thru the mountains was the quickest. On the way back we told him a better way to go and we were back home in half the time and no one was car sick. Also, he talked with our group the entire time we were in the car, telling us jokes, which got very old after many hours in the car with him and also seemed to be a distraction to his driving. We really weren't looking for entertainment from our driver and his interaction got to be a little annoying. At the end of the day, we all arrived home safely, but frustrated that he didn't know his way around better.

When I called Champy the broker for this company of drivers, he was NOT helpful, infact he was DISMISSIVE, DEFENSIVE and ARGUMENTATIVE. There are many drivers in Napa and I used this company because it had a high rating, which I am not sure how they got after going thru this experience. The experience with Champ was almost worse than the one with our driver. To not have someone who cares why their customer is unhappy and be dismissive before even hearing what happened speaks to their level of customer service. Champy is only a broker and appears to not care what happens after you pay and contract with him.

Raul was amazing! Great experience and great price. Highly reccomend!

Great experience and easy to get set up! Would definitely recommend this service to get safely from one fabulous winery to the next!

had an excellent experience and so very affordable!! We loved our driver Don and he was local so we got a "full" experience of the area much more than wineries and what we would have had on our own! thank you!!!!

We had Anna as our driver for 2 days in wine country and we were very happy with our experience! Anna was super friendly, flexible, and easy to deal with. Will use her again when we go back!

Wonderful experience!! Very professional and would recommend them again and again!

Of all the experiences we did in NAPA this was the best choice we made. I highly highly recommend their service and promise you won't regret it!

Loved using this driving service! We had Carl, and we re able to communicate beforehand. Carl helped us plan the perfect itinerary for a girls weekend in Napa, and even offered great restaurant suggestions. He even adapted our plan and helped make some on the fly reservations as the day progressed. Carl drove our car, which made everything really easy.

Karl was our driver and he was fantastic. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and a great driver. Would absolutely recommend to other and plan to use again!

Napa Sonoma Wine Tasting Driver set us up with Tim Murphy, of Terroir Wine Tours. Tim was excellent. He provided great recommendations and was very accommodating in taking us to specific places and patiently waiting. He rushed (safely) to get us from reservation to reservation and we very much enjoyed our day with him. This is a perfect option for small groups to enjoy a day around Napa/Sonoma. Ubers are sketchy (cell service), so highly recommend booking a driver. The whole process was seamless. The next day we had a different driver and wished we had Tim again.

We had Zero drive our group of friends around and he was great. We felt very safe, provided a great service and gave us a few really good recommendations. He had great knowledge of the area and made our trip to Sonoma extraordinary.

Clean car. Our driver John was nice and very professional! We decided to go with the SUV for wine tasting and it worked out really well!

Had a great driver in Sept. I had to change my plans after booking, but no problem they were able to accommodate. The driver was friendly and helpful in suggesting additional wineries when we had some time to kill. great experience!

Carmen was an absolute delight, very professional, and very knowledgeable. We had a great two days with her and would definitely recommend Napa Sonoma Wine Tasting Driver.

Great Experience!

John our driver was very knowledgeable. Had refreshments in the car for us and was very friendly. Would recommend him to anyone!

Great experience, price point and company! I would definitely use this company again for the next time I visit Napa!

PRIVATE DRIVER AND AUTO MAKES IT EVEN BETTER. THEY KNOW THEIR WAY AROUND!

Our driver Raul was VERY knowledgable about navigating the Napa/Sonoma area, and he also was able to suggest restaurants, shopping, etc. He was a safe and efficient driver. What a great experience!

Wonderful experience! I would highly recommend this company and Jeff in particular for your next trip out to Napa! They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Jeff took us to a few hidden gems and helped us to relax into the California mentality. I would recommend having some openings in your day when using them so they can plan a few spots for you.

We had a great experience with this company during our honeymoon last year! Our driver Raul was punctual, polite and gave great recommendations on wineries around Napa and Sonoma, that we would not have known about if it weren't for his knowledge. I also appreciated being able to focus on enjoying the wines and not worry about driving back to our accommodation safely.

We had a great experience with Napa Sonoma Wine Tasting Driver. Its absolutely the way to go wine tasting. We have hired drivers on two different occasions. Both times the driver met us at our house in Mill Valley and drove our car up to Healdsburg and back for a day of wine tasting. I highly recommend them.

I would definitely use them again! They made it easy (even with a rental car).

Only way to safely enjoy your wine tasting! Our driver was amazing
and knowledgeable! You do need to go to rental car company for insurance
coverage for driver- I think only Hertz allows this.

Fast efficient service. Very convenient for your napa and Sonoma experience. Drivers are friendly and hiring with your rental vehicle is a breeze. Would highly recommend!

Marty was awesome. Knowledgeable, professional, fun, and very very helpful. 10/10 would use again

Jeff arrived early and getting him added to the rental at Avis could not have been easier. We had several places we wanted to go to specifically and we asked that Jeff help fill in the rest of the day with his suggestions. Everything was excellent and we all had a perfect day in Napa!

Happy repeat customer!! Jason was very accommodating to our group, and took special care of my grandma who has a walker. Also, he knows a lot of wine country history, gives great dining recommendations, and is a very safe driver. Will use again!

The wine tour was amazing and our driver ensured that everything was smooth and tailored for the passengers. I highly recommend this tour!

Comfortable, clean vehicle, friendly knowledgeable drivers, that is why I keep coming back every time my wife and I are in Napa! Don t let their low price scare you away, the are truly top Notch.

We had a great time with our driver, she brought a little cooler with water bottles for us and was open to what ever wineries we wanted to go to as well as having suggestions of her own. Just enjoying our day with our friends and not having to drive was wonderful!

I would not do Napa any other way. Having your own personal driver to take you around the vineyard. They handle all the reservations and will map your day for you. Professional, experienced, friendly and knowledgeable!

I booked them last minute and was so glad I did!....professional and affordable. It was perfect!

We had a great experience with this service! From setting it up to meeting our driver. He was very professional and we had a great time. Highly recommend!

Great company ! Knowledgeable tour guides and fair pricing. Highly recommend.

My wife and I used this fantastic service for our Napa trip - not only was he on time, professional, easy to get along with, etc., etc. - his knowledge of the area, locations of the wineries we wanted to see, and driving instincts definitely made the most of our day with him.

I have since recommended this service and passed along links to many of my SoCal friends, and I encourage you to check it out. It's super convenient, and a great way to have a good time without having to watch your rearview mirror - or your tastings!

Tim was very knowledgeable of the area and had great suggestions. Thank you, Tim!

Our driver, Phillip, was great and we couldn't have had a better day. He made suggestions to our itinerary that he thought we would enjoy more, but wasn't too pushy. Will definitely be booking through them next time we need a driver!

Great time! Phillip was very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile (no pun intended) to make sure we had a great time. He brought us food in between wine tastings and took us to an unique, small winery that was quite good.

We were looking for a safe, but affordable way to tote us around the valley. We had a agenda, and our driver held to it. He had a good life story, so it helped us past the time learning about his time in the valley. Would definitely book again.

As first time visitors to Napa, my wife and I obviously were looking forward to learning about the wine making process, seeing some of the wineries and vineyards and of course tasting some of the beautiful Napa Cabs. With over 400 local wineries and multiple tasting options, I was immediately overwhelmed when trying to plan a couple of days to do this. 1 call to Champie and my anxiety was immediately relieved. Champie asked a couple of questions, and then paired us with a fabulous driver, Phillip. For the next 36 hours Phillip and I went back and forth by text, some questions, some updates, but all to ensure he got his part of the planning right for me. And he did. Day of trip he arrived on time, in a clean and spacious car, just like the one Champie told me I d get. Conversation with Phillip was never forced, never pretentious and always honest. He was great. Overall I give the day 100 out of 100. Thanks to Champie and Phillip for helping to make our Napa trip a memorable one.

What a wonderful idea this is and what a great driver we had! Since we already had a rental car, this was a much better and cheaper alternative than joining a tour. We could visit the vineyards we wanted, when we wanted without the concerns of drinking and driving. Laws are very strict but also roads are narrow and people are many so why risk it? Highly recommend.

Everything was great! I m very happy I found this company. Based on my experience, I would work with them again the next time I go back to Napa. Thanks!

We had a great experience with NSWTD. Prompt, friendly service that made our visit much more enjoyable.

I was so lucky to find Bracchus Wine Tours, my friend and I had the best day! Rich is the sweetest, most patient, knowledgeable person and I would not hesitate to recommend him for a stress free, and all around great wine tasting day. He was prompt, and oh so very accommodating - as my friend and I changed our minds several times throughout the day. We should have gone with your original suggestions, Rich - because they were defiantly the best! Thank you again, and we will see you next time :)

Had a great experience! Best hourly rate, knowledgeable driver, let us customize our trip and made great suggestions.

We would highly recommend Napa sonoma wine tasting driver. We had a great experience. We had a bit of free time between tasting appointments. . Our driver was highly knowledgeable about the wineries and what wines they were known for. She found us a great addition to our day.

Rod is awesome and knows lots of great places. This is such a great way to enjoy Napa/Sonoma.

We had an amazing time our driver was wonderful. Ledson Winery was our favorite. I highly recommend Napa Sonoma Wine Tasting Drivers.

We had a wonderful time with our driver Mark. He was very knowledgable and worked to get us reservations at the next winery while we were enjoying a tasting at another winery. Would absolutely recommend this service to anyone looking for a stress free Napa experience.

Reasonable costs. Driver was very professional in terms of arrival time, departure time from winery, suggestions as to winery and direction from hotel in Calistoga and winery to Sacramento Airport.

Our driver was David, he was absolutely fantastic. A real hoot to spend the day with. We had great conversation, a lot of laughs, and overall just a fantastic time. We got to all of our appointments on time, and he took us to a few of his favorites in between. Highly highly recomend him and the company!

They were professional, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. I'd book them again in a heartbeat.

Awesome! We had John from Bacchus and he was friendly, helpful but not intrusive, picked up lunch for us, amazing! We had a party of 5 and everyone really appreciated his services. Definitely book!

We had the best day, our driver was great and lead us to some cool vineyards! using our own rental car saved us money, I would highly recommend this service!

We had a wonderful trip and our driver was friendly and helpful! Thanks

We had a wonderful full day wine tasting set up with Napa Sonoma Wine tasting in October. Our driver was very responsive by email and we felt very comfortable with the service he would provide. Unfortunately due to the wildfires, we had to cancel out trip as all of the wineries were closed. Napa Sonoma was very understanding and returned our deposit even though it was well inside the cancellation window. I think that speaks very highly of a company.

Very accommodating and professional. Would definitely use them again

We have used this service twice this year and are going back again in a few months. Best way to safely get around Napa. Very knowledgeable drivers. Our driver recommended 3 small/lesser known vineyards and WOW! We joined all 3 clubs- they rivaled the big ones- maybe were even better! Price is great too!

We had a great experience booking with Napa Sonoma Wine Tasting Driver. Booking was very easy and contact was immediate. Our original driver was very helpful with winery suggestions and gave me a call promptly after I reached out by email. Joe picked up my group of 8 from our hotel right on time and was very sweet. The AUX wasn't working on the way to our first stop but Joe had a solution by the time we got back in the car for our second stop. I did a lot of research beforehand and it seemed like this company was more affordable with better reviews over some of the other "tours." I would absolutely recommend using this company when visiting Napa or Sonoma.

Jeff made our Napa girls weekend awesome and unforgettable. He was always on time, very friendly, always looking out for us and made sure we were on time to all of our reservations. He brought us bottled water and even ran to get us food in between tastings! He was very knowledgeable and would point out different wineries on our drive. We will definitely be hiring Jeff again for our future wine trips!

Lon was great! The day was wonderful even with the rain!

Buzz and his wife each drove our party one day. They drove our rental car which was convenient and saved us money. They were very helpful but not intrusive. I would definitely use their services again.

Our driver had an arsenal of Napa knowledge (particularly about the wineries before the big wave of tourism) and kept us hydrated while taking us through all the wineries we had on our list no matter how removed from the usual path they were!

Mike was amazing! Showed up to our resort early each day with water in hand. He k ew the area well and recommended several wineries when we finished early. 10/10 ask for Mike he is the best!!!!

My wife and I were in Napa Valley on 11/23/15 in our RV so we needed a car and driver to explore. Our experience was top notch from first making the reservations with Arthur, to having a wonderful and relaxed time with Assad in his Lincoln Town car. Assad really knows the valley well. He took us to some of the best small wineries we could have hoped for (not the main stream stuff). We had no plans of our own on what to see so we relied on him to figure out where to visit based on what we told him we liked. Assad was professional yet personable. He was also flexible and accommodated our changing minds. He even let us bring our little dog along for the ride! If we ever visit Napa Valley again Napa Sonoma Wine Tasting Driver will be our first call and we ll ask for Assad!

Jeff Hill does an amazinf job. This is our second trip with him. I highly recommend that you request him for a driver.

We had such a great experience with Napa Sonoma Wine Tasting! We came up for a girls weekend (we are local to the bay area) and had our whole day mapped out with wineries. Jason was so professional and knowledgable about Wine country - and he also kept us on time for all our reservations. He was also our personal photographer! and at the end of the day, sent us a photo album. 10/10 would book again!

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. My boyfriend and I are coming up to Napa for the first time ever and we were calling around getting prices for different driver services. They told us that if they wanted the driver to drive our car, it would be $25/hour. As we are flying into SF the day before and driving up the morning of, they said they would not be able to drive our car because they weren't on the contract. That is totally fine - I respect a company that does things by the books. The entire time I was on the phone with the driver he was rude, interrupted me constantly while I was talking, unwilling to answer my questions. I asked him if there is any way we could get a better rate than $50/hour (which is double what it would cost for them to drive our rental car). I asked very nicely if any cheaper rates were at all possible AND HE HUNG UP ON ME. I understand that maybe they can't do anything about their prices but I was shopping around to make sure I wasn't overpaying and he just lost us as a customer. We will be taking our business elsewhere and I just hope they treat other potential customers with more respect.

Driver was awesome. Was on-time, knew his way around and had great recommendations.

Rented from Stix, driver texted pic of his ID for me to add him to my contract when I picked up the car at San Fran Airport. We felt like celebrities in our own Chauffeured car. We traveled to Dry Creek and Russian River Valley. Our driver dropped us off at dinner in Geyserville and parked the rental car at our Airbnb and we took an Uber home at the end of our night.
