Napa & Sonoma: Private Wine Tour with Local Expert & 3 Wineries

Three wineries, lunch, and a guide who actually knows the region

You get three winery tastings, lunch, and a private vehicle with a guide who actually works in wine country: no tourist circuit, no strangers in your group, no fixed script. The day is built around what you like to drink and how you want to spend your time. Pickup and water are included, and the concierge can help with anything else you need before or after.

The experience

What if the person driving you through wine country wasn't just reading from a script, but had spent years working in the vineyards themselves? That's the difference here. The guides at Napa Native are locals who work in the industry. They know which wineries are worth your time and which ones you'd skip if you knew what they knew. You pick whether you want Napa, Sonoma, or Healdsburg, and they build the day around your palate and what you're in the mood for. Three wineries, lunch somewhere along the way, and the whole thing stays private. Just your group in a Suburban or Mercedes Sprinter, no strangers, no set itinerary you're locked into.

The tour moves at a pace that actually lets you taste and talk instead of rushing between stops. You're not hitting the famous names everyone's heard of. The whole point is access to smaller, boutique producers that don't show up in guidebooks. A bachelorette party gets a different day than a collector hunting for specific vintages, and that flexibility is built in from the start. Healdsburg, if you go that route, has this quieter energy: still wine country but with Pacific influence creeping in, less crowded than the main valley floor. Sonoma and Napa both have their own rhythm, and the guide will steer you toward what makes sense for your group.

Transportation is handled. You don't drive, you don't navigate, you don't wonder where to eat lunch. Water is on the vehicle, and there's a concierge service on the back end if you want to book something else or need a recommendation after the tour ends. The whole day is yours to focus on tasting and talking, not logistics.

What’s included

Your day includes private transportation in a Suburbans or Mercedes Sprinter, three winery tastings at boutique properties selected by your guide, lunch at one of the stops, complimentary bottled water throughout the tour, and concierge service to help with any other arrangements before or after your visit.
