You think the hash browns at McDonalds have gotten expensive? Try $100 tasting fees in Napa - per person! But I’m Local Wally, the original Napa on a Budget guy, and I know how to beat those high tasting fees without sacrificing your wine tasting experience. Simply use the Priority Wine Pass for 2 for 1 and other discounts all over Napa and Sonoma. What wineries? How about two for one at Sterling and their tram ride, save $55. Want to check out Beringer? Use the wine pass and visit for just $10 per person. Visit my new guide to Napa’s Cheapest Wineries and if you need a wine pass then get it here for the cheapest price on the internet. Thanks Wally!

What’s New in Napa?
TUK TUK TOURS THE NEW RAGE! If you want the ultimate “get away from the tourists” experience then you need to check out Laces + Limos where your travel to off the beaten path wineries in a 3 wheeled Tuk Tuk, then sip wine while relaxing to a gourmet picnic right in the vineyards! This isn’t some goofy gimmick like a trolley car on wheels (Holy Embarrassing Batman!) but rather a charming and unique Napa experience that has everyone on social media lighting up. With a price tag that’s not much more than a private driver you need to at least check it out for your next trip to Napa.

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!
