  Insider Tour of the Napa Valley
I've spent over significant time working on this project and have visited nearly 600 commercial wine producers (wineries) in the Napa Valley.
As a result I have an extremely unique point of view into the Napa Valley from a winery perspective that few people have. Click here for my Tour Information

Adventure Tours
www.napavalleyadventuretours.com
hiking, biking, kayaking, mountain climbing and off the beaten path van tours - based in Oxbow Public Market near Copia in Napa

 
Bicycle Tours
Note: In our opinion the two most scenic, least crowded areas for bicycling in conjunction with winery visits, are in the northern part of Napa Valley, north of the town of Calistoga and also in the Carneros region south of Napa.

Dave has personally visited and tasted with well over 550 commercial Napa wine producers in the Valley as well as a number of other locations that offer tastings but do not make their own wine. As a result he has met many  vintners and those who work within the wine industry. Have specific questions? Feel free to email: dave@pon.net

Also note that some of the high end resorts & inns in the valley have private concierge services - and can often arrange visits at private wineries.
