First time to Napa Valley for my daughter and me. This is the only wine tour we went on, which was super fun. Each winery introduced us to several red and white wines along with interesting info on vineyard histories. I would recommend this tour to any Napa Valley first-timer.

Sam was an amazing tour guide an knew all about the areas. If you love chardonnay and dry wines this is the tour for you. You will have to pay about 50 dollars at each place for the wine tasting but you get to tour the castle and full winery at the second place the third os just a tasting.

My friends and I really enjoyed this tour. The guide, Sam, gave some great commentary on the way up valley to the first winery and after that he played music. We enjoyed the three different wineries we toured - they were all so different! We went to Castello Amoroso, Raymond and Backstage. As a heads up, you’ll spend $150 in fees a person between the three stops. But the tastings were worth it to us. Entertaining, interesting experiences. We also liked the lunch. It was salad and pizza at a restaurant and that was included. We would all recommend this tour!

The stories and history the driver told. The out of the way wineries we would never visit on our own. We really loved the whole day, even in the heat. The lunch was very good! Especially the mushroom pizza. This was the classic tour as the up valley was not available.

The only reason for the 1 star is the misleading I felt by the trolley company. The wineries were fantastic! I am not someone who normally complains for writes reviews but I was taken advantage of and feel I was bambozzled and scammed in EVERY sense of the word. We had a party of 6, so spent a hefty amount to begin with on the trolley. We understood that the tastings were not included and had hoped to buy a bottle or two at each winery and enjoy. However, the first stop- the castle, we were told by the trolley driver that the tour and tasting were all one price and we did not have a choice of not buying that package. There was NO tour. All the rooms for the self guided were closed. Yes, we had the tasting but it was an additional $60 per person. No discount if you purchased and bottles. Second stop- we were basically ushered into a tour and tasting without an option to opt out. $50 per person, even though one of us didn’t partake in the tasting. Third stop- again ushered in to a tasting with no tour. $40 per person! A wine glass put in our hand with no information on what was next. The tour guide/driver (Sam) basically forced us into tastings and tours and cost us $150 extra per person! And he did NOT provide a more any information or guidance than a glorified Uber driver. I feel ripped off worse than when I went to Disney or a time share presentation.

The castle was amazing. Lorenzo, our Somalia, was perfect. He managed to find wine for each of us. One thing I would say for the future, could give a range of prices for the fees at the winery that were not included. They were pricey but worth it. Just would be nice to be prepared

I really enjoyed riding the trolley to three different wineries. I had a blast. Our driver was on time, paid attention to detail and made sure we were all accounted for. Each winery was through in their explanations, wine was really good and our group was fun to hangout with! I will 100% recommend. Also the lunch was really good too, we had salad, pizza and tea
