Overwhelmed planning a wine tasting trip to Napa? I understand.

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, two for $55.

What’s New in Napa?
BIG GROUPS, BIG DISCOUNTS: In the past getting a reservation for a big group of 8 or more was difficult and pricey. But for a limited time you can get TWO FOR ONE’S for large groups using your Priority Wine Pass at these wineries: Sterling (2 for $55), Beringer (2 for $20), Auburn James (2 for $50), Pestoni (2 for $30), Backstag (2 for $75), Rutherford Ranch (2 for $55), and Hans Fahden (2 for $40). And Artesa, one of the prettiest wineries, will give groups 20% off. Sweet!
All you need is ONE Priority Wine Pass for every. two people and each pass is just $39 if you get it on my site. Call for reservations and you are good to go with huge savings for your group event. BUY WINE PASS FOR $39
NEW UNIQUE NAPA EXPERIENCES: Experience Napa 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. From couples to groups, this experience gets rave reviews from all of my readers who have done it. 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. Or perhaps you want an inexpensive way to wine taste? Hop on a Platypus Tour and they’ll take you on a day long adventure to discounted wineries and provide a delicious lunch at a winery stop. Ask for Allison and tell her Local Wally sent you for VIP service.
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!
