Hourly Chauffeured Tours
Napa wine tours. Sonoma wine tours. San Francisco sightseeing. Custom day trips. From $95 per hour. Two-hour minimum (four-hour minimum for Napa and Sonoma).
The chauffeur holds the vehicle. You direct the day.
Hourly chauffeur service is the right structure for any trip with multiple stops, undefined timing, or duration beyond four hours. The chauffeur and vehicle are yours for the booked block. You choose the wineries, the lunch stop, the order, the pace.
Most of our hourly tour bookings fall into one of three categories: Napa wine tours, Sonoma wine tours, and San Francisco sightseeing (which often includes Muir Woods and the Marin Headlands). The fourth category is custom: a multi-stop day across Marin and Sonoma, a corporate offsite that involves three venue visits, a wedding-anniversary day with no set agenda. We quote those by the hour with a four-hour minimum.
Three primary tours plus custom.
Napa Valley Wine Tour
Three wineries, lunch, return. The most-booked tour we run. Real Napa knowledge baked into every routing.

Sonoma Wine Tour
Buena Vista, Gloria Ferrer, Iron Horse, Jordan. Russian River Valley or Sonoma proper. Less crowded than Napa, more relaxed pace.
