Filled with local information and wine education, our guides partner with our guests - some of our guests have a basic knowledge of wines, others have a real appreciation of sipping fermented grape juice - and all want to experience and learn more about the wines. 

Valley Wine Tours’ "top 10 benefits” reveal how our customized tours are designed to provide a unique experience for all of our guests:

10: Find out how grapes are transformed into world-class wines.

  9:  Taste "don't miss" new vintages and award-winning wines.

  8: Explore many winemaking styles of the same varietal - you might prefer a sauvignon blanc that shows tropical fruit vs. a grassy one!

  7:  Breathe in luscious wine aromas, savor an array of flavors on your palate, and take in the physical beauty of wine country.  Sensory treats!

  6: Discover hard-to-find, small, family-owned wineries and sip handcrafted wines in intimate settings.

  5: Experience many gold and double gold medal winning wines, and learn tasting techniques used by professional judges.

  4:  Imagine a well-set table - maybe in a vineyard, a winery or one of many beautiful nature spots - as you enjoy a fresh, hand-crafted gourmet picnic lunch featuring local food and seasonal produce.  Included in all Valley Wine Tours.  Got lunch?

  3: We’ll guide you, not just drive you, through wine country.  Our guides are winemakers, wine consultants or winery owners – and we'll introduce you to more along our journey.

  2:  Learning and sipping made fun.  Wine is very social - and our educational style makes all you hear easy to remember. 

  1: The adventure never stops!  We're constantly traveling to all wine-growing regions north of the Golden Gate in search of the best and most interesting wineries in Sonoma and Napa Valleys, the Russian River and Healdsburg as well as Dry Creek, Alexander Valley and Suisun Valley.
