The Napa Wine Project

introduction \| Tweet I have an extremely unique point of view into the Napa Valley from a winery perspective as I have personally visited and tasted with more than 700 active commercial wine producers (wineries) in Napa since 2006. As a result I have a plethora of resources to draw from in regards to customizing any experience in the Napa Valley. I know the Napa Valley inside and out, numerous wine makers and types of authentic tasting experiences. I enjoy guiding and providing information about this incredible place. Have your own list of wineries? I would be happy to give you comments. Based on my research, all my winery reviews are online (with photos) - Visit: Napa Wine Project for more information. Wine country hotel pickups as needed. comments The following comments are either about the Napa Wine Project or from clients: "I cannot begin to tell you what a great time we had in wine country. It was such a pleasure to go to all these out of the way, private, smaller wineries. The tastings were more intimate and on such a much more personal level than with the bigger vintners. On the morning tour with George Hendry, I learned more about wine in a few hours than I did from the hours of reading I put in on the subject. The few days we spent with you in wine country was overwhelmingly the highlight of our California trip. While we sit back during the rest of the coming year, enjoying with friends all the wine we purchased. Every bottle we open will end up in a conversation of how we managed to find all this wonderful wine. Thanks for the memories." ~ Aaron, Florida "I'm so impressed by the task you are undertaking to do in sharing a comprehensive access to all the many wineries we are lucky to have here in the Valley. I'm amazed how many there are!! It's an incredible testament to this amazing way of life. Thank you for the style and openness in which you're approaching it - yours is a significant contribution in communicating the bounty of this valley." ~ Carissa Mondavi "Just wanted to drop you line and say thank you for the amazing tour this past weekend! We all had such a wonderful time and I have already recommended to my friends and family that they contact you and take a tour with you. I know I will be needing another tour sometime in the future when my family comes out here to visit me." ~ Clark Brown "I am back in New York after after a fantastic weekend in San Francisco. Thank you for giving us such a great Napa Valley experience. We loved the hike, the views, and the tours of the wineries. We really enjoyed the day! I will definitely recommend you to friends that visit the area. Good luck with the rest of your Napa Valley Wine Project!" ~ Michele, New York photography		pricing (guiding) Minimum is $200 for one person.

We can also tour through some of Napa's towns including Calistoga, and St. Helena. All guiding tours are private for your party. All levels of wine education are perfectly fine. Depending on interest, I will make any reservations for appointment only wineries. I know many small family owned boutique producers & we can certainly visit some favorites. A typical guiding tour will last between 6-8 hours; the day is yours - guiding tours can be shortened or increased as needed. large groups I can handle guiding for large groups up to 47 people. I will arrange the transportation/driver, setting up appointments and lunch. Large size vehicle fees apply - large van, mini bus or full size bus. Please inquire for details and special pricing. Limousine also available upon request - additional charges. Dave large purchases We know a number of Napa vintners who sell in larger quantities. Looking to buy in larger quantities for resale? Let me know. I can help make the introduction to the vintners. I've worked with several groups for this including from China. trip consultation Need help planning a trip to the Napa Valley. Let me know - I can make winery recommendations, hotels, restaurants, etc. . more information Researching more information about your trip? Please visit my travel website: Dave's Travel Corner (since 1996) We can setup niche guiding tours based on any number of criteria (some listed below). We will visit only our favorites out of the 700+ we have tasted and reviewed in Napa. Want the wineries with the best tours, romance or views; we know these specific wineries and can make the appointments. Advance notice of at least a two weeks is desirable for an appointment only winery tour but we can certainly work with shorter notice. 4WD Accessible Amazing Caves Architecture Business Park Highlights Characters of the Napa Valley Collectors Dessert Wines Only Educational First Time Visitors Fun Wineries Ghost Wineries Harvest Experiences Highly Scored Wines Hiking Hillside Only Historical Jeep Tours No Scored Wines Owner Personalities Personal Touch Romantic Sparkling Wine Only Tours Stunning Views Types of Experiences Types of Wines Ultimate/Exclusive Valley Floor Only Vineyard Education Vintner Lunches Vineyard Lunches
