A Day in the Wine Country Had a wonderful day touring some wineries with Ryan. He is so knowledgeable about the industry and wineries. When you couple that with his outgoing nature and natural friendliness it makes for a grand day out. So glad that my day was made so much better by experiencing it with Ryan.

Ryan McGorry Ryan was exceptional. Very timely. Polite. Fun to talk to. Helped organize lunch orders both days. Gave us great recommendations on wineries. Really as good as you could ask for for a wine trip. Would use 10x out of 10 again.

Best Napa experience to date! We used private wine drivers for my friends 35th birthday. I go to Napa a dozen times a year at least and have been going for years and I can easily say this was my best Napa experience to date! I wish we could recreate this trip every time we go to Napa. I would give them 10

It was so nice to have it all carefully planned out with exclusive access to amazing vineyards and tastings. We even got to meet some of the founders and owners who are legendary in Napa. Cali went above and beyond at the end, as well, taking to to our hotel and then back to the Sonoma square. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Private Napa Tour Wonderful hospitality by Ryan and we appreciated how accommodating he was to our group.

Just as good as the first time! Ryan, Cali and Ben were phenomenal once again. The winery lineup was stellar and the knowledge, hospitality and professionalism from the drivers was excellent. This is the second time we have used these guys for our tours and it was perfect this time around as well. Thanks for a …

We will come back again and we highly recommend his services to anyone who wants a great day in wine country without having to worry about driving. 10/10

Exceptional wine tour highly recommended We had a wonderful day visiting 3 wineries in Sonoma and Healdsburg. Cali put together an itinerary that matched our interests and desires perfectly.

Ryan is more than just a "driver"... Not only is Ryan so knowledgable about the wine country, he also has the best recommendations. My husband and I have used Ryan's service the last three trips out to Napa/Sonoma. We literally book him and make sure he is available before we even look for airfare. Ryan plans out the entire day, makes all reservations, and picks wineries based on our wine preferences. There's no stress to planning our trip... We just hop in the car and let him call the shots. We are 100% sure that seeing wine country with Ryan is the best way to go!

Returning in April and am already working to book Ryan again. Cheers!

Even Better than the First Time! This is the second time I’ve used Private Wine Drivers and this was even better the second time around. Kali provides bespoke itineraries based on your preferences in terms of varietals, regions, views and overall experiences. This service is top notch where the hardest decision to be made is what are your wine/experience preferences.

Throughout the day, we learned so much at the tastings as well as throughout the drive. And if you don’t want to learn, that can be arranged as well! . I will most definitely use this service again!

Look no further! We were very lucky to stumble upon Ryan on our last visit. He worked with us on some of the wineries we wanted to hit and he showed us a few we never would have known about. As it turned out those became our favorites for the trip. You start out with a driver and end up with a friend that we still touch base with today. Looking forward to our next trip. We have referred him to others and they had the same awesome experience. THE BEST!

Wedding day bliss. Cali provided the best service to my daughter's wedding party. He was so courteous, on time, professional & personable. He made the wedding so much more enjoyable. We didn't have to worry about how were getting to & from the venue. He was there at the waiting to take us where we

Simply the Best in Every Way My wife and I have travelled to Napa several times, but our last visit under Ryan’s care has been the best by far. His background knowledge, personal connections and insight, as well as a commitment to first class service; all of these made our time with Ryan truly memorable. I can’t recommend his services enough. For anyone who wants to entrust their special time to a true professional, Ryan is the best choice in every way.

We have recommend him to everyone because he is so valuable to your travel experience. You cannot go wrong by selecting Private Wine Drivers to take your trip to the next level.

Would never go with another driver! I honestly think if we couldn't get Ryan for our next trip to wine country because he was booked, we'd reschedule for a time that he was available.

If you're looking for a private driver who will make your trip to Sonoma/Napa unforgettable, PWD is hands down your best choice!!
