Three valleys, one home base
Healdsburg is the only town in California that sits at the intersection of three premier AVAs. Dry Creek Valley to the west grows California's best Zinfandel and old-vine field blends. Alexander Valley to the north produces age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon. Russian River Valley to the south is Pinot and Chardonnay country. You can build a 6-hour day that touches all three without driving more than 20 minutes between stops.
We design tour days around your interests, not a fixed itinerary. Most groups visit three wineries plus a sit-down lunch — five wineries in a day is too many.

How we size wine-tour vehicles
Two to six passengers: a Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator. Seven to twelve passengers: a standard Mercedes Sprinter. Thirteen to twenty-two: a 14- or 23-passenger executive Sprinter. Twenty-three to twenty-seven: a 27-passenger shuttle. Above that: a 40-passenger mini coach or 56-passenger motorcoach.
Vehicle choice matters in wine country — many wineries have narrow gravel parking that does not accommodate full-size buses. We will not put you on a coach a winery cannot host.

Can we bring food and drink on board?
Yes — bottled water, snacks, and purchased wine are welcome. Open containers of alcohol consumed during transport are not permitted by California law on vehicles that are not specifically licensed for it.
