we are planning to go to Napa next week. We are going to book a tour to do some wine tasting. There are a few wineries that we would really like to see. Do you know if the tours allow you to go to the wineries of your choice?
napa valleyMostly tours select the wineries for you. My wife and I went on the Napa Valley Wine Shuttle last April and they choose a bunch of wineries for us. These wineries ranged from the more commercial (Mondavi, Coppola, BV) to the small family operations (Milat, Monticello, Esquisse) and some other known wineries that are not quite as big (Raymond, V. Sattui). Overall we found the variety to be good.
The day after the tour we ventured out on our own and looked for smaller places or places that we know we like the wine. We visited places like Stelzner in Stags Leap, Goosecross, Sterling, Seqouia Grove and some others that are escaping me right now.
I felt that for my wife%26#39;s first time in Napa starting with the tour was the right way to go.
Enjoy!
napa valleyWine tours is the best way to get an orientation of Napa Valley. You visit wineries that they have predefined. You will visit fewer wineries this way. It takes time to move a bus load of people in/out.
Your next trip you now know the lay of the land, and plan your own itinerary - in your rental vehicle.
If you wish a good medium, consider taking a Limosine tour. Though I have heard that not all wineries welcome the limos because of limited parking space.
Excellent Points StateRef. I wanted to follow up and say that the tour we went on only had about 8 other people in the van, so you normally aren%26#39;t talking about a lot of other people.
