Planning Tips to Avoid Missed Gems

Over half a century, I’ve seen many guests unintentionally miss standout wineries or unique brewery experiences. Here’s how to avoid missed opportunities, ensuring your tailored itinerary is safe, smooth, and sensational, from first glass to last toast.

Book Early: Top Napa and Sonoma spots—especially sustainable or exclusive flagships—can book out months ahead (source: NapaValley.com Planning Guide).
Balance Your Day: Mix premium wineries, unique brewery stops, and scenic breaks rather than stacking only headline names.
Plan for Comfort: Hydrate, snack, and request shaded or indoor tastings in summer—our drivers keep comfort in mind.
Consider Shipping: Ask us to coordinate wine or beer shipping so you’re free to savor, not juggle bottles.
Diversify Experiences: Include at least one sustainable winery or a new 2026 brewery for the freshest perspective (VisitSonoma.com Breweries).
Safety First: Let us handle roads, routes, and safe returns—no designated driver stress.

A recent guest planned to visit only big-name wineries. We suggested an off-the-path, family-owned vineyard and the experience became the highlight of their trip. Our up-to-the-minute research and expertise ensures you don’t miss emerging stars or new tasting adventures.
