About this experience
With years of hospitality experience at world-class wineries and strong industry relationships, I’m able to unlock access to hidden-gem producers and sought-after cult labels that typically require connections and advance planning. Having personally visited 300+ wineries, I know where the truly special experiences are—and how to create a collector-focused day that’s worth your time and cellar space.
Most importantly, you’ll have a professional, discreet host focused on delivering a seamless, high-touch experience from pickup to drop-off—so you can taste at a higher level and experience Wine Country like an insider.

Detailed itinerary
1
Enjoy a full-day private Wine Collector tour in Napa & Sonoma with access to hard-to-book wineries, cult producers, and exclusive tasting experiences not typically offered to the public. We’ll pick you up at your location and drop you off at the end of the day, so you can relax and focus on the wine.
After booking, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire with your preferences (varietals, budget, must-visit producers, and tasting style), and we’ll plan everything for you—including winery routing and timing. Most days include 2–3 premium winery experiences, with opportunities for private tastings and behind-the-scenes moments when available.
Midday, enjoy an elevated picnic lunch provided by us (weather permitting), or we can stop at a restaurant of your choice (meal purchased separately). This is a high-touch, collector-focused day designed to be smooth, efficient, and unforgettable.
What's not included
The tasting fees are not included in my tour and vary from $25 pp and up depending on the wineries. I will share tasting prices with you before booking the wineries
