Me and my sister's, cousins also my niece went on trolley and we had a great time, the only three things I can say about the tour was we was rushed at the castle, we had to drink our wine fast. But the server was fast at getting our drink's. The other thing was it was a couple that thought they could save they friend a seat in a certain area. The last thing was the last winery was very boring had to sit out in the heat and it's very hot Overall I had fun with the host Michael He was the best. The place we had food at was awesome and great they also encountered me in with vegan pizza as well as dessert!!

The "alfresco" ride in the open air trolley-bus gave us a more natural and visceral wine country experience, and nicely dialed in on the boutique winery genre!

It was a fun day traveling around Napa Valley on the trolley with Sam. It’s an expensive day but you do get a lot history and educated on the wine making process. I understand the tasting fees are not included but it would be nice to have an option for non drinkers to pay a lower fee per winery. We visited Castello de Amorosa, Raymond and Back Stage. My favorite winery was Castello de Amorosa for their wines and the astomphere. I found the Back Stage winery to be the most personable and I gained so much knowledge about wines. It was awesome that the owner/wine maker took time out of his day to spend with us. I would definitely do another wine tasting tour in Napa Valley if we ever make it back.

This was a wonderful day trip. Our driver, Sam, was very informative and made the trip fun. Some on our trip did not know that entrance to the wineries was not included in our cost of the trip, so some were not prepared for those extra costs.the Castle winery, Raymond, and backstage we’re all excellent as were the hosts at each location. Lunch was also excellent and was included in the cost of the trip. We had a fun day!

Such a fun way to explore the wineries of the Napa valley. A very varied experience of tasting rooms, however at each the service was excellent. Special shout out to backstage as we not only had a very knowledgeable host he just so happened to be the wine maker and owner. Lunch at tra vigne was lovely as well. In all a very good day.

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.
