PLANNING YOUR TRIP

Let's Talk!

Before we can even begin to plan your perfect trip to Napa Valley we need to have a conversation to get to know you better. The breadth of Napa Valley accommodations, experiences and excursions is truly amazing and without a knowledgeable insider, the choices can very quickly become overwhelming. We already know the ins and outs of Napa, now we need to get to know you. 

In our initial conversation we will ask you questions to gain an understanding of your vision for this trip and any special occasions you may be celebrating. We will then use that insight to customize your experience from start to finish. Is this trip a romantic getaway or an opportunity to acquire wines and fill your cellar? Will the vibe be more hip and fun or serious and cerebral? Which is more important, beautiful architecture or award-winning wines? There are no wrong answers! 

We also like to know which wines you drink at home, which wines are the most prized in your collection, which wineries you may have visited in the past, favorite cuisines, comfort level with various purchase expectations, etc. The more information we can gather at the outset, the better!

The Agreement

After our initial conversation, we will have enough information to present you with a contract for our services. Along with the returned, signed contract we take a $250 deposit to secure your dates. We will also require your credit card information to be used for booking hotel accommodations, excursions, wineries and restaurants. 

The Best Fit

A great concierge is a great matchmaker. Even the most stunning winery will not be a great fit for every group. Based on the insight we gained from our initial conversation, we will begin to hone in on the right experiences, the right price points, the right purchase expectations, and even the right vintner host. Our role is to curate the very best itinerary possible while honoring our relationships with our vintner and grower partners. The result is that you feel relaxed, comfortable and able to enjoy yourself at each destination, knowing exactly what is expected. 

The Best Mix

The very best itineraries are those that allow each winery, restaurant and activity to shine in it's own regard, and each experience should build on the last. This is an art. Figuring out the logistics of availability, location, drive time, and experiential offerings is our specialty.
