Needless to say all 6 of us had a fantastic day. We visited 32 Winds, Judge Palmer and Blue Rock. Likely wineries most people may have never been to...which makes them all the more alluring. I know my group would never have gained access to these beautiful properties and wines without John's introduction. Anyone can walk into hundreds of nice wineries and plop down a tasting fee and sip good wines. This service is for those people seeking an experience WITH beautiful wines and the opportunity to meet the very people responsible for the wine in your glass. If your desire is to impress your friends or family...John is a master of making you look good. Wish there were more stars to give!

We are the twoooo amigos! Okay so maybe this hidden gem of a winery is not named after one of my…read morefavorite comedy motion pictures of the 1980s...but what they are is an intriguing winery that focuses on the customer, especially their members. Located in the winding hills high above Glen Ellen in the heart of Sonoma's wine country, the namesake comes from two friends and partners Bob Briner and Squire Fridell. What makes the wines at Two Amigos Winery so unique is that the tastings they offer are done by appointment only as they give a tour of their entire estate and wine production facility and their tastings after their tour are complementary to visitors. Bob and Squire have known each other for almost six decades after being roommates in college. Two Amigos Winery is actually two wineries in one as their sister winery is known as GlenLyon Vineyards & Winery, where at one point all of the grapes they have grown on their estate were all outsourced to other wineries. After being unable to obtain a permit to make more wine of their own, they opted to obtain a permit to create a second winery with its own signature label. At Two Amigos, they make no fewer than nine wines, and through our guided tour from managing partner Bob himself, we learned that as a smaller winery they host a number of unique aspects from having all of their own equipment on site, including open air fermentation tanks so their wine ferments naturally with no yeast. This process may take a while longer for their wine to mature, but thanks to this process it not only picks up a nice color with a strong fruit-forward bouquet. After touring their laboratory and cellar that hosts their French oak wine barrels, we then followed Bob and his adorable dogs Theo and Stella up to their main house where they host their annual springtime pick up party for their members for an extraordinary tasting of no fewer than seven wines. Upon walking into their gorgeous estate home, we learned that all of their wines are crafted by a clown, a real one in fact as Squire is a retired actor and former pitchman who served as none other than Ronald McDonald himself in numerous commercials in the 80s and 90s. With a fun look at all of the memorabilia that he has collected as an actor over the decades and a truly remarkable hillside views of their vineyards that were not yet in bloom, but thanks to the abundance of water being stored and managed, it would only be a matter of weeks, before we were blooming. We headed to their shaded deck for our tasting, which began with their 2022 Vino Rosato, which is their appetizer wine, and on the slightly drier side but had a nice grapefruit finish. From there, Bob poured us one of my favorite wines of our tasting, their Viognier was a nicely chilled afternoon wine that had a real subtle taste to it, when paired with spicy cuisine could only add to the umami of your overall meal. For our third pour we enjoyed their non-okay and non-buttery Chardonnay, which was a real change of pace versus your traditional Chardonnays. With hints of green apples, we learned that this originated as a cool climate grape from the Parmalee-Hill Vineyards where Two Amigos also sources their grapes that produce their Pinot Noirs. Bob then had us delve into their red wines, including their signature Pinot Noir, which among all the wines, Bob taught us to swirl the wine in the glass by putting our hands over the top of the glass thereby locking in the bouquet and then when you are able to smell it, it completely changes the profile of the wine. When paired with generous amounts of cheese, this wine along with the next two red wines that we sampled, their Tirare il Dito and their Syrah, both grown on their estate. Tirare il Dito literally means "pull my finger" in Italian and exemplifies the humorous ways that the two amigos approach their wines. This wine was the only blend they source here at Two Amigos and was a highlight of our tasting. To finish our complimentary tasting, we enjoyed their Wee Moor Port wine, which was paired with Toblerone chocolate and was one of the sweetest wines one could enjoy. After ninety minutes of this extraordinary tour and tasting we realized that purchasing wine on the spot wasn't available if we weren't a club member. Not needing that much wine was our only regret as we weren't allowed to purchase any bottles of wine on this visit, as their Tirare il Dito and Wee Moor Port were real winners. But what we did get out of our experience at Two Amigos was a wonderful tutorial in how fine exclusive wine is crafted high in the hills of Sonoma, both Bob and Squire have achieved their goal of simply sharing their passion with appreciative visitors to Two Amigos Winery who love to sample new wines and take it all in, and at Two Amigos you will truly feel like a new best friend.

Verisimilitude. Not a word that trips lightly off the tongue. Nor should it. Yet it is the word…read morefor here. Captivating you at first sip and hooking you at first laugh. Cousins had called to rave to us about this winery they had discovered. I love everything that is old; old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wines. So, heck yes. Cousins then quickly arrived to drive us and off we all went for a visit. Here's how our visit went. We sipped. We laughed. Repeat. And repeat. And repeat. Many thanks to our hilarious hosts, masters of their crafts which are wine and laughter to present what are in effect a series of highly critical, nuanced love notes to the idea of America. They inspire and nurture happiness - one person, one wine and one laugh at a time, while playing characters tailor-made for their wide repertoire of intrusive yet inviting personas. Two Amigos Winery addresses the whole person--mind, body and spirit all the while quite mesmerizing, poignant and full of unearthed beauty. When we bellied up to the bar, we didn't know we were in for several belly laughs also. Gosh. I ended up more drunk on the laughter than I was on the wine, lovely as the wine was, which the wine was. For all its accomplishments - and it has many - Two Amigos Winery has heart, brains and an ability to laugh at itself. I'll be back. For the smiles. For the wine. For the laughter. Because more important than the food pairing is the person with whom you drink the wine. Sniff, Sip & Giggle. Taste a wine. Laugh which boosts immunity and relaxes the whole body leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes afterwards. Wine improves with age. The older I get, the better I like it. Today's forecast: sunny with a chance of wine. Wine is appropriate for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and in-between. Sniff, Sip & Giggle. Taste a wine. Laugh which triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain. It takes a long time to grow an old friend. Visits by appointment only. In victory, you deserve wine. In defeat you need it. Sniff, Sip & Giggle. Taste a wine. Laugh which decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease. Wine goes with whole grain Raisin Bran. Shakespeare wrote: "Give me a bowl of wine, In this I bury all unkindness." I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food. Sniff, Sip & Giggle. Taste a wine. Laugh which protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems. Either give me more wine or leave me alone. Friends and wine have much in common. The older, the better. Keep calm and pour on. Sniff, Sip & Giggle. Taste a wine. Laugh which burns calories. Laughing for 10 to 15 minutes a day can burn some 40 calories. As long as we have wine, family holidays will be fine. There's a wine for everything. Wine a little and you'll feel better. Sniff, Sip & Giggle. Taste a wine. Laugh which lightens anger's heavy load. Nothing diffuses anger and conflict faster than a shared laugh. Looking at the funny side can put problems into perspective and enable you to move on from confrontations without holding onto bitterness or resentment. Wine is bottled poetry. Wine and laughter are contagious. If I ever go missing I'd like my picture put on wine bottles instead of milk cartons. This way my friends will know to look for me. The Two Amigos Winery likes their Freedom so they have a Military and Veterans Discount as a thank you to Veterans with a publicly disclosed daily Veteran Discount which provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population.

Tom is amazing! When our friends planned a limo wine tour, I was not sure what to expect, but this…read moretour was amazing! We visited four wineries, which Tom expertly suggested. More importantly, he arranged everything beautifully! Pickup was on time, he arranged for a picnic lunch where he set a beautiful table, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great tour! We can't recommend this more - if you want to go off the beaten path, and try some great boutique wineries, this is perfect! You'll get some great wines for your collection. Thank you Tom!

If you are looking for an amazing, high quality Napa experience with a knowledgeable, reputable,…read morebusiness professional, look no further and book Tom immediately! His service is impeccable! I had been planning my husband's 50th birthday for over a year and thought I knew the vineyards I wanted to tour. We were going to be there a week and had planned 3 days of tastings plus a fancy dinner out! I knew I wanted to hire a limo service and had done my research on rates, reputation etc! I was going to go with one of the larger limo services that overall had good reviews as long as you stayed away from driver "x"...or driver "y"! The popular company claimed they would plan your trip but after speaking with them several times, I didn't have confidence they knew my tastes so I was on my own to coordinate all the tasting times, distances to and from the vineyards etc, all which was proving a bit challenging not knowing the area well. One of the vineyards (my bucket list, Ghost Horse) suggested I reach out to Tom @ Destination Napa and thank goodness I did!! I mentioned a couple of wines my friends and I like and while we all have different tastes and palette's, Tom assured me he would find vineyards we were all pleased with! While I had initially planned to use Tom for only two days, he convinced me to use him for all our transportation needs. Admittedly I was a little concerned putting all my faith in this one stranger and said to a friend, this is either going to go really well or really bad! I'm thrilled to say - Tom far surpassed my expectations! Tom handled the entire itinerary, choosing boutique vineyards (as requested) and making the reservations on our behalf, planning lunch, menu's, providing champagne before our big birthday dinner and always communicated in a timely fashion! And what's great, Tom is choosing the vineyards and driving you personally so your not having a different driver every day or dealing with someone who doesn't know the vineyard or what was booked for you! Plus he keeps you on schedule which can be difficult when your sitting with friends, drinking incredible wine and making memories!! As you can probably guess by reading the above, I had high expectations and micromanaged the entire process (poor Tom)! Turns out I didn't need to!! Tom's service and vineyard picks were above and beyond what I had planned!! What's best about Tom's picks, I never felt pressure to buy wines or join any of their wine clubs!! That said of course we bought wines, how could you not when you honestly feel like your drinking poetry all day long!! All the vineyards we went to had an amazing story and each one was vastly different (ie Mountain View, up on a hilltop, beautiful terrace, small pond & water fountain, caves). Plus Tom is friends with everyone in Napa (small local community) so whatever we needed he was able to help or offer advice for last minute restaurant reservations, where to shop for cheese and charcuterie and more importantly built into our itinerary the best places to stop for photo ops!! During our Napa Valley journey Tom became a friend, while still treating us like VIP clients! And while we have yet to join a wine club, I'm still ordering wine from the vineyards he took us to and just did a virtual tasting with one last night!! Special shout out to Harry & Cali at Tres Perlas and Todd Anderson of Ghost Horse/Anderson Conn Valley. Hire Tom and I'm sure he can get you in there! In closing my apologies this review is long overdue! We hired Tom for our trip in October 2019 and after returning, life got in the way. But it doesn't change the fond memories and amazing service and experience we had with Tom! My friends and I are all planning a return to Napa, whenever COVID-19 is behind us! Not sure when that will be but Tom will be my first call (and to secure appointments at the 2 places above ) Thank you again Tom!

Absolutely an amazing wine tour. Being from the Willamette Valley, my husband and I knew we wanted…read moreto find smaller boutique vineyards and stay away from the busy touristy spots. Andy took us to 3 beautiful vineyards in the hills above Napa. At our 1st stop, we were driven to a secluded cabana in the middle of the vineyard with sweeping views of the valley. At the second vineyard, we were greeted at the car by one of the wine makers who showed us pre prohibition wine making equipment and cellar. Out last stop, we tasted amazing cabs deep under ground in a private tasting room in wine caves. Andy then met us with lunch out on the patio overlooking miles of vineyards. Not only did Everyone make us feel so special, we made friends along the way. Andy is a local, knowledgeable and very respected in the industry. Thank you for all the amazing memories and happy birthday.

Andrew sent us an iterinary before the trip and confirmed the night before as well as providing us his ETA. We toured four beautiful small wineries and got to meet several of the wine makers and owners. What a wonder experience Thank you so much!

Jim is honestly super amazing. Where do I even begin? First of, Jim is very punctual as you can…read moreprobably see from the other reviews. The Saturday that he drove us, he knew there was an event, so he made sure to pick us up earlier to ensure we wouldn't be late to our first wine tasting. Throughout the day, he made sure we would have enough time to get from one winery to next. Second, Jim is a very safe driver. We rented a Tesla for the weekend, and he was able to drive the car without any issue. On top of that, he very nicely offered to charge the car for us, so we wouldn't have to do that the next day. Third, Jim is very knowledgeable. He knows wine and knows what winery would suit our taste. He has a wealth of knowledge about wine, and it was super fun to talk to him about that, which goes into my fourth point. Jim is very friendly and polite. It's extremely easy to talk to him, and we felt super comfortable right away. I am so glad we found Jim, and we'll definitely come back to him again the next time we're in Napa for wine tasting!

We are so happy with chose to book with Jim & WeWine Napa for our getaway weekend tastings…read more I did a ton of research and not only was his price point more competitive he adds tremendous value through his market knowledge and customized itineraries that were specific to our personal needs (varietal, ambiance, farm to table, grape to glass). Whereas other vendors simply do the driving he coordinated all of the tastings, got us the best tables with prime views, and even booked a last minute dinner reservation at a highly desired establishment. All the managers know him by name and it's refreshing to walk up to a winery and truly feel like a VIP. The cost was nominal when looking back at all the planning and coordination it would've taken to replicate our itinerary. Not to mention driving to each winery during what most don't realize is a pretty long day if done on your own. Instead it was one of the most relaxing experiences ever and something you should all highly consider if planning on visiting more than a couple of wineries in a day. Highly recommend reaching out to Jim he carries great pride in what he does and goes above and beyond to ensure the Napa experience is unforgettable!

Great tour! My boyfriend and I booked off of Groupon so it was only $100 for the two of us to go…read more We stopped at 3 wineries: Furthermore, Korbel and Balletto. Furthermore has a tasting fee of $15 (waved if you buy a bottle), Korbel is free tasting and Balletto is $10 per tasting (free if you buy a bottle) that price is NOT included in the bus fee. The bus was a little run down but the free Lagunitas beer and good company definitely makes up for it. Our driver Matt was awesome he was a super friendly guy, we would love to take a tour with him again! If you're looking for a convenient way to get from winery to winery and don't want to deal with being the driver or calling uber/lyft then this tour is the way to go!
