Your Dog Comes Along.
I Drive.

Boarding the dog. A sad pup in a hotel room. Guessing which tasting rooms let dogs in, and who has to stay sober. I fix all four.

Why It Works for Dogs

Vetted for Dogs

I've lived in Napa Valley close to 30 years. I only route wineries that welcome dogs.

Booked for You

I make every reservation, so you just turn up with your dog.

Nobody Drives

Water, treats and a blanket down in the back. The first bandana is on me.

One Group a Day

The day runs at your dog's pace, from Yountville to Calistoga or out to Sonoma.

What guests say on Google

“Nigel was amazing. Very attentive, knowledgeable, and absolutely trustworthy with watching our 18 month old golden as we went on back room tours. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again next time we are In the Napa area.”
Matthew Leberer · Google
“Nigel was very accommodating and easily adapted to our change in plans. We traveled with a large dog and he made sure every winery was dog friendly. Dogs weren't allowed to go through the wine processing portion of one tour, and Nigel offered to stay with our dog. He provided exceptional service and I highly recommend him.”

Questions

How many guests can join?
Up to 10. I price per vehicle, not per guest: Lincoln Aviator for 1–4 guests, Cadillac Escalade for 5–6 guests, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for 7–10 guests.
Where do you pick up?
Pickup and drop-off anywhere in Napa and Sonoma is included. Pickups outside the Napa and Sonoma area are quoted by hand. Coming from San Francisco? Yes. I quote that pickup by hand. Door to door, so nobody drives.
Do you plan and book the wineries?
Planning is included by default: I pick the wineries and book every reservation (+$79 per tour day). Rather plan it yourself? Untick it and I'll send my free list of vetted dog-friendly wineries.
Are tasting fees included?
No. Tasting fees are paid directly at each winery, typically $30–$75 per person, and are often waived with a bottle purchase.
What should I bring?
Your dog, a light layer for cool cellars and comfortable shoes. I bring water, treats and a spare bowl. Bring a favourite blanket if your dog travels better with one.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancellations 7 or more days before your tour receive a full refund. Cancellations within 7 days but more than 72 hours out are charged 50% of the deposit. Cancellations within 72 hours are non-refundable. I need at least 48 hours' notice, and I take one group a day.
Birthday, anniversary or dietary needs?
Yes. Tell me in your inquiry and I'll plan around it with the wineries and any lunch stop.

One Group a Day.
Is Yours Open?

At least 48 hours' notice, please.
