***** is the absolute BEST addition to your Napa vacation! He scheduled private tastings for us at some of the most unique, beautiful and ?best kept secret? wineries! The day he planned for us was spot on- he took into account our likes/dislikes and we gave him the freedom to use his expertise and experience to select the best of the best! He is professional, but still a super fun guy to hang out with, and will give you lots of knowledge about the valley and offer great recommendations for your stay! He even helped us package and ship our purchases! Cannot wait to visit again and we will no doubt call ***** for all our transportation needs!

What a wonderful way to explore the wine country! All of the planning,arranging, and driving was taken care of by an expert they are by allowing us to enjoy every minute of our trip . We were able to experience some delightful boutique wineries that we would have missed had how do I attempted to plan the trip on our own . We can’t wait to return!

Raoul provided a great experience. He took us various winaries through Napa and Sonoma. We had private tastings with beautiful views, great wine and the oppertunity to talk to knowledgeable wine makers. He scheduled all the tastings and even shipped our wine home after. Truely full service!

As relative Napa novices (this was our second visit to Napa) my wife and I had a wonderful experience with Raoul. He took care of the entire day – arranging visits to 3 great boutique wineries where we were treated like true VIPs – and a nice lunch in Napa. We had 3 great tastings and winery tours…we even got a personalized tour at one of the vineyards on a Gator!! Something my wife and I will never forget – sampling different grape varietals right off the vine. It was so cool!! On a more personal note – Raoul is a true gentleman. He is obviously knowledgeable, but completely down to earth…plus he’s a very nice man. We had a GREAT time and I strongly recommend Raoul if you are looking for a unique Napa/Sonoma experience.

We took a trip with Raoul for a couple days and it was awesome. He is an awesome guy and really knows the area! His knowledge of wines and the area were worth every penny twice over. We highly recommend using this service!

Our experience with Raoul was as good as it gets! He took our group of six to 3 beautiful exclusive wineries that were all very different from one another. The wines were delicious and reasonably priced too. Raoul’s expertise and professionalism was such a welcome addition that we invited him to have lunch with us! All day long, we felt like VIP’s…much different from other tours where you feel like cattle. WELL WORTH A FEW EXTRA BUCKS!

Raoul, It’s taken a while to write this review, but simply because it was hard to put into words just how special our experience was with Raoul… We came to Napa not knowing what to expect, but thanks to a wonderful family recommendation, what we found was a friendship with grapes and man…Named Raoul. With two legendary couples in tow, all partners in crime, we stole a lot from our time with you. We thought we had an itinerary, for which we did, but rather than showing us the jewels for which we had picked, you lead us to those most magnificent diamonds in the rough. Yes, Napa was what we thought it would be, but without the guidance of a seasoned veteran of the valley we would not have experienced the magic quite as intensely. If you’re looking for more than just a driver, if you are looking for an EXPERIENCE, then call Raoul, he goes more than that extra mile for you, he goes above and beyond. Napa was spectacular, the wine was divine, but by far the best part of our voyage was Raoul. Thank you Raoul, thank you so much. We will definitely be calling you the next time we’re in town!

We used NapaSonomaWineGuy (Raoul’s new company) in April for a two-day tour. The itinerary was set by someone that we had engaged with via telephone, and luckily (for us) Raoul diplomatically steered us away from what would have been mediocre stops. The woman that set the itinerary originally, works for the company that Raoul used to work for. She told Raoul “I don’t know wine, I don’t drink wine, and when wineries give me wine for booking the tours, I give it to my husband. He then gives it away to his clients.” Yet SHE books ALL the itineraries for that company! No wonder Raoul went out on his own! He knows his trade well because all of his picks were utterly fantastic experiences. Many stops included meeting the winemaker, the owner (sometimes one in the same). Always were the wines fabulous, but also the pricing of those wines was also a pleasant surprise. Raoul will tell you which wines to seriously consider and which wine clubs are the best to join too. There is no doubt that his company is a keeper for our group as we will book with him in the future and send all of our friends to him also.

We went on a short wine tour with Raoul and were SO impressed with where he took us. When we set up the reservation, he asked us our wine preferences and built a custom tour based on what we wanted! I didn’t want to go to wineries that I could purchase their product at a grocery store. Raoul over-delivered! We only had a short time, but we visited two incredible wineries and were able to talk with the winemakers themselves, barrel taste, and learn a ton about Napa wine. It was a phenomenal experience, worth every dime, and I can’t wait to go back!

We used Napa Sonoma Wine Guy.com AKAPareTour on April 1 and we highly recommend using this company on your Napa vacation. We had booked with another driving company but changed to NSWG based on their rates and the customer service when I called (Raoul was SO friendly and helpful.) We were so glad we switched. We had an amazing day with our driver Raoul! He had great suggestions and even squeezed in a stop at a smaller vineyard off the beaten path that my husband and I loved! He was so friendly and we really enjoyed our day with him. We will definitely recommend this company to friends/family visiting Napa and they will be our first call next time we go back!
