How this service runs
A Napa or Sonoma wine-country day is booked hourly with a five-hour minimum and a written tasting itinerary. Dispatch coordinates with the vineyard concierge on the guest's behalf so tasting slots line up with the driving plan, which is what keeps three or four estates plus a lunch reservation inside a manageable eight-to-ten-hour door-to-door day.
The chauffeur stays with the vehicle at every estate, handles the valet and holds cold water in the console for the drive between tastings. Guests do not drive after the first pour — the entire point of chauffeur-booked wine-country transportation — and the return leg to San Francisco, the Peninsula or SFO is scheduled before the day starts rather than negotiated at the last vineyard.
For group tastings the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter carries eleven to fourteen guests plus a case or two of wine purchased on the day. For one or two couples the Chevrolet Suburban LT is quieter and easier to park at boutique estates. Lunch at The French Laundry, Bouchon, Auberge du Soleil or Bottega is coordinated in advance because same-day tables at those restaurants are effectively unavailable.

FAQs
Napa and Sonoma Wine-Country Tours — Questions Clients Ask
Can you book the tasting appointments?
We coordinate directly with vineyard concierges to align tasting times to the driving itinerary. Payment for tastings is handled by the guest with the estate.
Can we start the wine-country day from SFO or SJC directly?
Yes. Many guests fly in the morning of the tasting day and start straight from SFO or SJC. The chauffeur meets the flight, luggage is stowed and the first tasting is timed to the flight's arrival plus drive time to the estate.

Airport meet-and-greet policy
San Jose Mineta International (SJC)
For a Luxury Sedan or Chevrolet Suburban LT SUV arrival at SJC, your chauffeur meets you inside the baggage-claim area of your arriving terminal with a sign displaying your name. This is an indoor greeting rather than curbside waiting, and it is included at no additional charge. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter groups meet at the Charter Service pickup booth for their arriving terminal. Use the Terminal A booth when your flight arrives at Terminal A and the Terminal B booth when it arrives at Terminal B. Your group and luggage should be together at the booth before the Sprinter is brought forward.
San Francisco International (SFO)
You may add indoor SFO meet-and-greet for $45. With this option, your chauffeur can await you inside with a name sign and help with luggage. If you choose standard curbside pickup instead, the vehicle comes to the terminal only after you are outdoors and prepared to board. SFO airport arrivals include 60 minutes of complimentary wait time.
Oakland International (OAK)
Meet-and-greet is available on request at OAK for a $45 add-on. Your chauffeur meets you inside Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 baggage claim with a signboard and escorts you to the vehicle. Please request meet-and-greet when booking so we can dispatch early and clear parking.
To add meet-and-greet at SFO or OAK, note “Meet-and-greet requested” in the booking form or reply to your confirmation email. SJC meet-and-greet is automatically included at no charge.
