What’s New in Napa?
NEW UNIQUE NAPA EXPERIENCES: Spice up your Napa trip with some cool new experiences. Coming with a small group or bachelorette party? Start the day with an Irish Coffee Masterclass and learn how to make the ultimate Irish Coffee. After that ride to wineries on an e-bike, cruising down the Vine Trail along vineyards. No peddling required, smiles guaranteed.
Or perhaps travel in a 3 wheeled Tuk-Tuk, possibly the most fun way to get to the wineries, then enjoy a private gourmet picnic literally in the vineyards. Want luxury? Then hop aboard the Bohemian Highway, a luxury SUV that takes you to 2 to 3 private wineries and priced about the same as a standard driver and touristy wineries. All of these experiences are Wally Approved and deserve to be on your Napa bucket list.
FREE PROMO CODE FOR STERLING TASTING AND TRAM RIDE IS BACK, BABY! Get $10 off off your Sterling experience just by emailing me for the promo code. It’s free, no catches, just ask and I’ll email it to you.
I found Wally's site after spending hours upon hours researching an upcoming trip to Napa Valley, and thank goodness I did! I was quickly learning that large groups can be tricky at wineries, and without Wally's help, I don't know that we would have been able to plan a successful trip. Thank you so much, Wally, for all your patience and assistance!
