One Fantastic Napa Guide!! - So to start, Tyler is THE GUY you want leading your tour. He is a bro's bro. You WANT to hang out with this guy. He is a wealth of information, deeply rooted in the Napa area, and therefore a boundless source of information. He is polite, friendly, humorous, and just an all-around good guy.
And that's before you even get to his tour recommendations. Our tour included not one winery we disliked. He picked some outstanding choices (Reverie II, Saddleback, James Cole, Tres Sabores, Pine Ridge, Battuello, Ashes & Diamonds). His recommendations for food were also spot-on, and the lunch we had catered was fantastic. Be sure to ask about the cookies.
I wasn't much of a wine guy prior to this trip, but this is ALL different now, and now I'm probably hooked for life. His plans for Napa Native will definitely bear good fruit in the years to come, much like the vineyards we got to see under his outstanding guidance.
Thanks so very much, Tyler (and Tony!), and we cannot wait to come back!

Napa Day Trip - Winter Version - We had a great day touring three Napa wineries with Napa Native - our guide Cali was extremely knowledgeable and fun! We started in SF and drove through Sonoma and made our first stop at Cuvaison - we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Kelly was a wonderful hostess and the wines were delicious. Next to a small producer of primarily Cabs and blends, we arrived at Porter and our host Luis. Terrific experience - amazing wines along with a great time. After lunch in downtown Napa, we arrived at our last winery - Matthaisson for their exceptional tasting with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic host. Cali was very informative and explained a lot about the areas and wineries - climate of the valley, varietals planted to maximize quality/taste, history and so on.... We'd highly recommend Cali and would request him on a return visit. Tyler and Krystal were very helpful in developing the itinerary. Tyler was a gracious host back at their ranch and shared tastes of some of their delicious wines on offer. Overall - can't rave enough at how great our experience was!

Great day spent! - Great tour! Mathew was awesome! So much fun and personalized! Only wish we had more time at each place and maybe one less winery to visit. But overall great experience!

Best part of our vacation in Napa! - This excursion was the absolute highlight of our trip to Napa Valley. Right from the initial booking, we knew we were in good hands. Tyler and his team did an excellent job of getting to know us then recommending a couple wine tour options that suited our preferences perfectly!
The day started with a pickup in a beautiful SUV that comfortably sat all 4 of us, then we headed north to check out a cave tour in Calistoga, before stopping at the grocery store in St. Helena to grab our picnic lunch on our way to stop #2. The last winery we visited was our favourite in Yountville, and we got to hear a ton of great history and incredible stories about the area (and the families that built Napa Valley to what it is today) from our guide throughout the day.
We ended the day with a final impromptu visit to the owner's winery and got to know him personally, and we could not get over how relaxing the vibe was and how picturesque the entire valley is from end to end.
Tyler - you were an incredible host and we will be sure to tell all our friends and family to check out Napa Native if they ever head that way. We can't wait for another trip to see and learn even more. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because this was a 10-star experience! Thank you for an incredible and memorable vacation!

Great Trip! - Matthew and the entire experience were wonderful! We visited smaller businesses/vineyards which made the tour more welcoming and comfortable. Mathew answered all our questions, provided recommendations, and made us feel welcomed. All three sports were fun and informational, but Reid's vineyard and Napa native made us feel welcome and trusted, would visit again!

I highly recommend Napa Native Tours! - I give Napa Native my highest recommendation. My friends and I truly hit the jackpot with Tyler. Born and raised in Napa he knows everything about the area. On the way to our wineries he gave us a great overview of Napa history, the various vineyards and winemakers, and pointed out landmarks along the way. He helped to keep us on schedule and when we were running late he called ahead to our next destination to alert them, and even had lunch waiting for us when we arrived at the restaurant. Tyler exceeded our expectations and absolutely made our day!

Happy to let them drive - Napa Native was wonderful. They were so easy to work with as I planned my trip. They asked me for suggestions of places I might want to go and they planned a great itinerary for us. Our driver was Tony. He was knowledgeable and friendly, we couldn't have asked for a better driver. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. I will definitely use them again

5 stars for Napa Native - Napa Native exceeded my expectations for a wine tour! Our driver Matt was knowledgeable and helpful. We wanted to visit small family owned wineries and Napa Native made that happen. All of the wines we tasted were wonderful and the wineries tailored it to what we liked to drink. This was a custom tour and truly felt like it! If you want to have a fabulous, private and custom day wine tasting book Napa Native!

Look no further-you’ve found your people. - Every time we come to the Valley we book with Napa Native as our planner and driver. They do a fabulous job on curating a very personalized trip to fit our exact needs! They take care of all the details!!! After a tasting we get in the SUV to waters in our cupholders and a blanket at the ready! The drivers are top notch with all the information on wines, grape growing, Napa history and everything in between! You’ll leave wanting to come back because Napa Native is just that good—and the wine is too!
