Designated Driver or Wine Tour Driver Only

If you have already planned your day and just need a driver to keep you safe, take advantage of our driving service that is currently trending throughout wine country.  YOU provide the vehicle, WE provide the driver and you save money.  Book a minimum of six hours, pay cash and the total is only $365.00.  Each additional hour is $30.00. All fees and taxes are included. Only driver gratuity is additional. Compare that to the car companies that charge $80.00 to $130.00  per hour. depending on the size of your party and also charge a fuel fee. 

If you are planning a quick takeout lunch stop our driver would be happy to make that stop for you while you relax at a winery. If your party is larger than nine people contact us for a quote.

Personalized Tours

If you would prefer that Napa Driving Service plan a great day for you, just pick from one of the Personalized Tours below and your work is done.  We do all the planning and make all the reservations.

Historical Tour – Your customized tour will include three/four wineries each day that helped to put Napa and Sonoma on the wine country map.  Each stop will include historic narratives from winery staff.

These may include but are not limited to Robert Mondavi, Grgich Hills, Stags’ Leap, Charles Krug, Chateau Montelena, Domaine Carneros, Beringer, Sterling and Domaine Chandon in Napa.  Buena Vista, Sebastiani, St Francis, Kunde Estate, Gloria Ferrer, Benziger, Gundlach Bundshu, and Cline Cellars in Sonoma

Backroads Tour – The exact opposite of the Historical Tour.  Your customized tour will include three/four wineries each day that are off the beaten path.  It’s unlikely you have heard of any of these wineries and even less likely you would have found them on your own.  Owner Dennis McClintick has spent twenty of his fifty years in wine country developing relationships with some of the most secret and exclusive wineries in wine country and he can open that door for you.  They have small parking lots and huge views.  Your host may very well be the owner and/or winemaker.  These are the ones you will tell your friends about, not the “Amusement Park Wineries”.

Blended Tour – Like combining several different grape varietals to come up with an amazing blended wine, take a page from each of the tours above.  Your customized tour will include wineries from both the Historical Tour and the Back-Roads Tour.

Each Customized Tour is $475.00. (That’s the total price, not per person) if you provide the vehicle and pay cash.  It is designed for an eight hour day.  Circumstances that arise that are out of our driver’s control (Heavy traffic, inclement weather, or deviation from the planned tour at the guests insistence) that extend the tour beyond the planned eight hours will be charged in addition to the package price at our normal hourly rate in quarter hour increments.  Your tour is customized for your party, you will not be paired together with strangers! As with all our tours if you are planning a quick takeout lunch stop our driver would be happy to make that stop for you while you relax at a winery.  The package tour fees do not include tasting fees or lunch.

Tell Us What You Want Tour – Looking for something not included in our Personalized Tours? Then tell us what you want. All Sparkling? All Cabernet? All Micro-breweries? Remember our promise: If you want it or need it, we will do it or get it.

I had a great time!!! Would recommend to everyone one! Marshall was our driver and was wonderful and very knowledgeable. I loved that we were able to pick our wineries and did not have to go to preselected places like in other tours. Marshall always has great options for lunch or snacks. I highly recommend the backroads tour. 2 of our favorite wines came from this day ! Dennis was super helpful when we were trying to get every scheduled and had wonderful advice for our first time there. I can’t wait to go again !

This was our second time using Napa Driving Service. Marshall was phenomenal. He kept us on time if not ahead, gave us recommendations and was full of useful insight. Dennis is great at setting things up and we will use them again when we return. If you’re renting a car this makes the most sense and makes the trip worthwhile and enjoyable

We had a great experience with Napa Driving Services. Dennis responded promptly, we reserved our service very easily, and our driver, Marshall, was fantastic! Always on time (early, actually), friendly, and knowledgeable. Will use again on our next trip and have already recommended to a friend!

We hired Napa Driving Services for a backroads tour and we were not disappointed! Dennis took great care of us in planning the full itinerary and taking us to vineyards we would not have otherwise found. We were in Napa during harvest season and ended up getting a spontaneous behind the scenes tour of the wine making process at one of the vineyards which was amazing. Dennis guided us on where to plan lunch so that we had food in our stomachs while enjoying our wine tasting. Marshall was our driver and he too took great care of us getting us from place to place on time and with a smile on his face. His goal was to make sure we were happy with our experience and we were. We highly recommend Napa Driving Services.

Another amazing tour by Dennis & Co! Great planning by Dennis. Excellent choices and advice for a wonderful day in Napa. Dennis is super communicative and knowledgeable of the area & wineries. Marshall was our day-of driver and was truly fantastic as well. Friendly, easy-going, timely, extremely safe driver and all together nice person. Offered to pick up lunch for the group, got us everywhere safely & on time, and honestly just made the day that much more enjoyable with friendly conversation. Would recommend these guys 10x over. Thank you, Dennis & Marshall! Cheers.

After a brief phone call with Dennis, he picked multiple wineries that were better than I could have ever dreamed! The flavors of 2/3 of the wineries were spot on for our palates and the the third was rich in history & very interesting. Pete From Aum Cellers showed us all around the barrels, vineyards and wine bottles on the most incredible tour of his amazing, organic wines. I will be going back to Dennis for all future Napa trips! Thanks for putting together THE BEST day for us, Dennis!
