It was nice meeting all the people that were on the trolley. The driver was nice. But they were not there on time causing us to think we were in the wrong place. We left late so then we had NO TIME to tour the castle. That was very disappointing! I think they should give you a choice of how many samples of wine to try, that way we could have had some time to explore the castle considering we were late getting there.

Excellent driver Dennis, very nice and knowledgeable of the area the wineries we visited were unique in general but distinct from each other, So, it provided a well-rounded view of the different wines and the makers. Everything was beautiful. Only complaint is that lunch was pizza, it was delicious but for someone who doesn’t each sugar or cards it was hard to find something to eat, I also wish we had more time at each winery to take photos. I really wanted to explore the castle but couldn’t.

Jennifer_F

Great winery variety and the trolley was a fun way to explore Napa. The fees at the wineries were slightly higher than expected was the only downside. Our driver Orion was charming and delightful

Sally_H

Great time. Went with my cousin. Nice girl trip. It was a relaxing way to spend the day. Our tour guide Obrian was wonderful.

We went to 3 wineries. The castle would’ve been cool, if 90% of it wasn’t blocked off for guided tours. The $60 fee to get in let you into a couple rooms and the gift shop, and maybe $15 worth of wine. Not worth it at all. The 2nd winery was pretty, we ate lunch in their large barrel room. Lunch was salad and sandwiches. $60 fee there as well and again, not close to worth it. The 3rd place was Monticello and it felt like a joke. $50 tasting fee for $10-15 worth of wine, and they made us stand for 20 minutes while we drank it. FLIES were flying around us and GETTING IN OUR DRINKS. I did the classic tour 6 months ago where the tasting fees were half the price and way higher quality of venues.

Melissa_H

Loved the wineries we went to. Didn't like the fact that we had to pay entry/tasting fee for each place. Lunch that was provided was ok, which was a half deli sandwich & plain salad. Thought the $125 paid for the tour would give us more perks: free tasting, gourmet lunch, etc. Basically it was only to pay for the ride in the trolley car, which was nice, but don't recommend during the colder months. We went in November, after Thanksgiving.
