Napa Valley Tours & Transportation

A view of the vineyards.

Visiting the Napa Valley provides the opportunity to taste award-winning wines. Fortunately, there are a variety of options when it comes to tours and transportation, making it easy to leave the driving to someone else.

Getting There

Some tours begin in San Francisco, but for most, you need to drive or ferry to the Napa Valley. There is a small airport in nearby Santa Rosa if you prefer to fly.

Shuttle

Shuttles range in size from small vans to large buses or motor coaches. A benefit to shuttle transportation is the price often includes picnic lunches and tasting fees, as well as a knowledgeable guide for the less experienced tourist.

Limousine

There are a multitude of limousine options, including everything from classic convertibles to hummers. Primarily designed for private tours, taking a chauffeured limousine or sedan allows you more input into which wineries you'd like to visit.

Train

Picking up in the city of Napa, the Napa Valley Wine Train takes visitors on a scenic ride through the valley and includes a gourmet meal during the three-hour journey.

Bike

For the adventurous, there are both guided and self-guided winery tours available by bike. Rentals are provided and they will even deliver your lunch to the winery of your choice.
