Sonoma Private Tours is the natural progression of a highly successful and well-loved Napa-based wine tour company. For almost ten years Napa Private tours has offered first class hand-curated wine tours to the most demanding wine aficionados, and now everyone is ready to introduce you and your guests to even more exciting wines and idyllic wine destinations that will set the stage for the most beautiful wine tasting experiences in Sonoma Valley.
The ever-growing expansion of California’s wine country, our natural curiosity, passion for wine and the need to add new experiences for our repeat guests pointed our compass toward the sea, and sent us on journeys of discovery aimed at adding the most exclusive Sonoma wineries to our carefully curated wine destination library.
Sonoma is full of wonder, and its innumerable terroirs and microclimates result in complex and beautiful wines. Sonoma Valley is three times bigger than Napa and its coastal breezes give way to climatic conditions that yield absolutely sublime wines.
When you decide to join us on a wine tour of Sonoma chances are you will be welcomed by a soft rolling fog that gives way to some of the most beautiful California landscapes. Silk Oaks, Cypresses, Pines and Goldenrains line the back roads that lead to vineyards and olive groves, planted by visionaries that know how California wines are changing the way the world values and enjoys the fruit of the vine.
Many of our handpicked Sonoma wineries have patios specially designed for tasting experiences that involve all your senses and allow you to appreciate all that nature has to offer. Views of the Pacific give your wine tasting experience one more layer of enjoyment that you don’t want to miss.
Our experienced team has received multiple industry accolades and we are ranked among the top five percent activities in the California wine country by Trip Advisor. It is not uncommon for other wine operators in the region to refer their most demanding customers to us, knowing that we have what it takes to deliver first class wine tours that are both experientially superior and focused in securing the most coveted wines in the region.
Hiring a Wine Coach for Your Sonoma Wine Tour
At Sonoma Private Tours we take pride in having wine concierges that spend a good portion of their time enhancing their knowledge of wine production. Our engagement with the wine industry is not simply theoretical; each of our hosts is heavily involved in other facets of wine making from wine production to vineyard management.
