How to Plan a Custom Wine Itinerary in Sonoma or Napa Valley

Planning the perfect Wine Country getaway doesn’t mean following a preset path. Some of the most memorable experiences in Napa and Sonoma are built around personal tastes, pacing, and preferences. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned wine traveler, creating a custom itinerary allows you to experience the region in a more thoughtful and luxurious way.

 

Start with the Right Region: Napa, Sonoma, or a Blend of Both

Each region offers something distinct. Napa Valley is known for its bold Cabernets, polished tasting rooms, and world-renowned estates. Sonoma County provides a more relaxed, rustic charm with family-owned vineyards, biodynamic practices, and fewer crowds.

 

Not sure which suits your group best? Our local wine guides can recommend a route that matches your preferences. Whether you’re drawn to boutique wine tours in Sonoma or interested in premium wine tastings in Napa, we’ll help you make the most of your day.

Plan for Arrival and Departure the Right Way

Travel logistics can make or break a trip. That’s why we offer private airport transfer services from San Francisco (SFO), Oakland (OAK), or Sonoma County Airport (STS). Arrive in comfort and start your Wine Country experience the moment you land.

If you’re visiting for a celebration, we also offer wedding transportation across Napa and Sonoma. From guest shuttles and rehearsal dinners to post-wedding wine tours, we provide smooth, stylish solutions that take the stress out of your schedule.

Design Your Ideal Tasting Experience

A personalized wine tour means your itinerary is tailored to your taste. Whether you’re passionate about sparkling wines, interested in organic and sustainable vineyards, or curious about educational wine tours with a local sommelier, we’ll design your day accordingly.

 

Our custom wine tasting itineraries can include exclusive tasting rooms, food and wine pairings, vineyard walks, and opportunities to meet the winemakers themselves.

Travel in Comfort and Style

There’s no need to worry about traffic, directions, or finding a designated driver. Our chauffeured wine tours include a professional wine country driver who is familiar with every scenic backroad and hidden gem. With private car service for wine tasting, you and your guests can relax in a luxury vehicle with all the amenities you need for the day.

 

Many guests also take advantage of our luxury wine tours from San Francisco, which include round-trip service in comfort and style.

Enhance the Day with Local Flavor

Wine Country is known not only for its world-class wines, but also for its culinary, scenic, and wellness offerings. From a reservation at a farm-to-table restaurant to a stop at a hilltop overlook or olive oil producer, these extra touches bring depth to your experience.

If you want to include a massage, spa treatment, or artisan chocolate tasting in your day, we’re happy to build it into your itinerary.
