Napa and Sonoma’s Best Private Luxury Tour: Bohemian Highway

Have you ever wished you had friends in the wine industry who would invite you to their private estates to experience their wines in a leisurely and relaxed environment? Ahhhh, sipping wine under a shady tree, picnicking in the vineyards, it’s a dream come true.

And wouldn’t it be great if your winery friend picked you up in their luxury vehicle and all you had to do was sit back and enjoy the experience - no making reservations, no hiring a private driver, it’s all taken care of.

Well that’s what Bohemian Highway is, a luxury tour company that custom designs each experience for my readers and takes care of all of the details. And of course, it wouldn’t be Local Wally approved if it didn’t offer exceptional value and pricing - it’s way more affordable than you might think.

what to expect: It’s going to be different

Unlike most tours which focus on tourist heavy wineries, Bohemian Highway uses their personal relationships with local vintners to create unique and intimate wine tasting experiences. You might find yourself barrel tasting with the winemaker, or perhaps climbing aboard an ATV to sip wines on a mountaintop, maybe even picking your own fresh produce which will be used for your lunch. You won’t be dropped off at a winery with crowds that rival Disneyland, these are private experiences where your happiness is the focus.

But wait - you’re not a wine expert? Is Bohemian Highway still for you? Yes, of course, do you think I would send you on a wine tour where you feel intimidated or anxious? Bohemian Highway is for wine lovers of all levels, whether you’re a Trader Joe’s wine lover or a serious collector. Just let them know and they’ll plan your day accordingly.

Start with The Explorer Tour

Their most affordable luxury tour option - I know, this seems like an oxymoron to combine luxury with affordable but as someone who has helped visitors find the best values in wine country for over 15 years the Explorer Tour is an incredible value. They’ll pick you up at your hotel or AirBnB in an ultra nice roomy SUV and whisk you away to a couple of private wineries, serving you a picnic lunch along the way. All fees are included so there are no surprises - no outrageous tasting fees tacked on, you only need to add whatever tip you want and that’s that. These are wineries normally not open to the public with exceptional wines, all single vineyard, hand-crafted. Go ahead, do the math and I bet you won’t be able to put together an agenda of two private winery experiences, a gourmet lunch in the vineyards, and luxury transportation for less than letting them just do it all. Perfect for groups of 2 to 6.

So Many Other tour options

While I recommend you start with The Explorer Tour you may want to dive even deeper with one of their other offerings:

• Wine & Design: This unique excursion will take you to several of the region’s most elite, design-forward wineries, where youl'll explore the history, design origins, and architectural elements behind these inspiring venues. Guests will be given an insider tour, taste some great wines, and enjoy a seated lunch at a local restaurant.

• Ultimate Wine Country: Embark on a three-day excursion getting to know the beauty of the land, vineyards, and sea that make up Northern California. This ultimate wine country trip Includes the Explorer Package, The Collector Package, and Sonoma Coast Package all in one. Looking to cover a lot of ground? Well look no further, this experience is for you.

• Sonoma Coast: Explore with us as you’ll taste cheese at a local creamery, eat fresh seafood staring at the ocean, and then amble through the redwoods on your way home. The coastal adventure ensures you get to sample a little of everything along the coast, including a couple of photo stops with the rocky coastline in clear view.

• Custom Large Group and Corporate Tours: Bachelorette parties, corporate events, pre and post wedding planners, reach out to me and let me help you put this all together. There’s no need to hire each piece a la carte, let Bohemian Highway do the planning with transportation, food, and winery reservations. If you want to make sure that your event goes off as planned then hand it off to them and relax knowing that they’re the pro’s and have done this many times before.

How to Book a Bohemian Highway Tour

Now it’s time for full disclosure, I do get a small referral fee if you book through me. You get the same price but perhaps elevated service and I get a few bucks that I use to keep the site running. Let me connect you and if you do happen to contact them directly please tell them that Local Wally sent you and send me a quick email so I can follow up. And remember, I never recommend services I don’t actually use and love and I love Bohemian Highway!
