Reserve your spot on the 8hr Private Wine Tour in Napa and Sonoma with Priority Wine Pass today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring the Priority Wine Pass or budget for tastings
Priority Wine Pass enables many 2-for-1 or discounted tastings but is separate from the tour; verify which wineries accept it before arrival.
Plan for three to five stops
An 8-hour day typically allows 3–5 wineries with time for a seated lunch—avoid overbooking to keep tasting fatigue low.
Pack a small cooler bag for purchases
If you plan to buy bottles, a small insulated bag or wine sleeve protects bottles during the day and prevents temperature swings.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Alternate water with tastings and eat a solid lunch to maintain energy and enjoy the varietals fully.
Layered clothing
Mornings can be cool and afternoons warm—layers handle coastal fog and valley sun.
Comfortable walking shoes
Most tasting rooms have gravel or uneven surfaces; low-heel closed-toe shoes are practical.
Reusable water bottle
Hydration between tastings preserves palate clarity and energy.
Small daypack or wine sleeve
Carries purchases, snacks, and an extra layer without crowding the tasting bar.
