Top Napa Driver spotlight: meet Melissa from A Drive for Wine Tours
Visit Napa in Luxury… but Affordable!
You’re planning a trip to Napa and thinking how much better it would be if someone, an expert, planned it all out for you and made the reservations. But then you wake up and realize that luxury tours that treat you like a VIP are expensive. If only there was a way to get this level of service without the luxury price tag. Well there is - let me introduce you to my friend Melissa from A Drive for Wine tours.
EMAIL MELISSA FOR RATES AND AVAILABILITY
Let’s start with the basics - if you just need a driver with a nice vehicle Melissa can do that. She has two upscale vehicles, a luxury SUV and a new Sprinter that seats 10 guests plus herself. If you’ve got the plans all under control and just need someone to get you there and back then contact Melissa.
Need reservations? want more than a driver?
So yes, Melissa can drive you but what if you want a bit more help, someone to find you wineries with specific types of wines or experiences? Let’s say you want to do wine and food pairings, or meet the winemaker, or perhaps only visit wineries with great views or architecture? Wine caves only? Or perhaps you even want to combine a hot air balloon ride or some hiking or even check out the redwood forests? Melissa can do that too. She’ll help you plan it out and will make all of the reservations. And she can do all of this for a price that’s not much more than a traditional “just drive” sort of service. It’s full service at a self service price.
Large group? BACHELORETTE PARTY?
With seating for up to 10 people Melissa will take good care of your group and get you there in style. Bachelorette parties are always tough to book (a lot of wineries aren’t set up for this sort of gathering) but Melissa will work with me to connect you to wineries that will take very good care of you.
Don’t Wait, GET A QUOTE
You might be surprised to find out how much custom services around Napa cost. Some companies are charging $500 or more just to make reservations. But I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised to get Melissa’s rates. You’ll get the same high quality luxury experience you’re looking for but at a much more affordable rate. Don’t wait too long as she does book up - just email her and start the conversation and i think you’ll be very happy you did.
Melissa made our trip to Napa so special. This was a once in a lifetime trip for us and we were so overwhelmed on where to go. We were only there a weekend so wanted every winery to be special. We let Melissa know what sort of wines we liked and the types of experiences we were hoping for and she came up with a two day itinerary and even made the reservations! She found us great restaurants for lunch and we even got to sip wine with the winemaker at some stops. And to top it all off her rates were quite reasonable. Thank you Melissa! (Vanessa C., 2024)
