The castle was amazing.... - The castle was amazing. Lorenzo, our Somalia, was perfect. He managed to find wine for each of us.
One thing I would say for the future, could give a range of prices for the fees at the winery that were not included. They were pricey but worth it. Just would be nice to be prepared

Wonderful experience - I really enjoyed riding the trolley to three different wineries. I had a blast. Our driver was on time, paid attention to detail and made sure we were all accounted for. Each winery was through in their explanations, wine was really good and our group was fun to hangout with! I will 100% recommend. Also the lunch was really good too, we had salad, pizza and tea

Trolly through Napa - This is a great way to see Napa! I’m not a big wine drinker. So the first stop had a few non alcoholic options. The last one which was the best had none but when in Napa you drink the wine! Our driver was Sam. He was knowledgeable, personable and took great care of his 30 passengers for the day! As he predicted we did get louder as the day progressed! The weather was great and the other passengers were loads of fun, on time and very interesting from all over the world!

Unfortunately the day we... - Unfortunately the day we toured it was raining so a bus was provided but we had to wait in the rain until it arrived, at least 15 minutes. Our driver Sam was wonderful. We knew we would have to pay for the tastings but the cost wasn’t disclosed until we had to pay. We were surprised at the cost. $50/ pp for the wineries we toured. The Castle was good but the winery in Rutherford was very disappointing. If you decide to take the tour, be sure to ask the cost of the wine tasting prior to going in.

hidden costs - The Castle tour was great but trolly driver should have told us how much wine tasting tour cost and if they had different types. The second winery was terrible and did not talk about wine just filled up glasses and at end asked for 50$ plus.
Third winery was wonderful finally had someone talk about wine and was reasonably priced.
You pay $$$ for the trolley tour but every winery you go in you are charged 50+. which ads up to a very expensive day. They should tell you that you can opt out of the tasting or have a one glass tasting. Lunch was very good.
