Let’s explore how summer and fall differ—and why both deserve a spot on your wine lover’s calendar.

Summer in Wine Country: Vibrant and Lush

There’s something magical about summer in the vineyards. The days are long, the vines are full, and the golden sun reflects off rows of ripening grapes. If you're heading to Napa wineries or Sonoma Valley wineries, summer offers ideal conditions for exploration.

Fall in Wine Country: Harvest Magic and Golden Tones

Autumn transforms Sonoma wine country and Napa Valley wine regions into storybook destinations. The grape harvest, or "crush," is in full swing, and every vineyard hums with excitement.

What to Anticipate on Fall Wine Tours:

  • Experience the grape harvest season with an insider’s view of the winemaking process.

  • Enjoy crisp, cooler weather, ideal for warm tastings and guided cellar tours.

  • Be captivated by stunning autumn foliage in vivid hues of gold, orange, and crimson.

  • Perfect for romantic retreats, such as anniversary wine tours or a Valentine’s escape.

  • Smaller crowds ensure a more personalized and luxurious car service experience.
