Napa Valley offers a variety of different wine tours.
For wine lovers, Napa is a
United States experience second to none. Located one hour from
San Francisco, California's wine country, Napa Valley features hundreds of vineyards that offer tastings ranging in price.
Napa Valley Limo Tours
If you would like to choose the vineyards you visit for tastings, you can simply hire a limo driver to chauffeur you around. This way you have a designated driver but still have the flexibility to choose where to want to go. Depending on how much time you spend at each vineyard, you can visit three to six vineyards in one day.
