My husband and I had the best experience with David on 8/20/23! We thought this was a cool idea for a company, but the service and experience was above ans beyond what we could have imagined. From start to finish, David was courteous, friendly, and informative. He took us to three Vineyards and provided us with great info and stories along the way. He had water and snacks ready for us throught the day which was key! I would recommend this service to anyone in the Sonoma or Napa area and I wish there were more businesses like this in other cities! Thank you again, David! read more

I had originally picked another company to drive us for this past weekend but I found out at the last minute that they don't do pickups from SF which is what I thought I needed. It's Wednesday morning and I'm scrambling to find a driver for Saturday and the other places I've called are booked full. Here comes Destination Drivers courtesy of my Chase concierge. David was perfect. I had to bring my dog along and honestly, I think my dog had a better time than I did all weekend! He constantly updated me with pictures, texted me to let me know that my next winery appointment was coming soon, brought cold water, etc. Card is also accepted for an additional fee, which was great because I needed receipts for work. I ended up just doing pickup and drop off in Napa rather than in SF but great to know that it's a real option compared to the other company I had in mind. My dog got to visit the wine caves at Beringer, which something I ran out of time to do! read more

We had a great experience with Designation Drivers in Sonoma. Our driver Henry, picked us up promptly at our cottage and drove us to various wineries throughout the day. It was wonderful not to have to worry about the itinerary or deal with the driving, particularly given it was rainy. He kept us on schedule throughout the day. He spent nearly 12 hours with us, including driving us to dinner and back home. He was so kind and so professional. I highly recommend Destination Drivers and Henry in particular, does a GREAT job! read more

Not only was Destination Drivers a MUST for our weekend wine tours, but David was the best driver! So knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and fun! He took care of us, making sure we had snacks and drinks outside of wine, and also kept us on track for our scheduled tour times. I would highly recommend for anyone visiting and will definitely be using Destination Drivers in our next wine weekend! read more

This is the best car service I have had when in the Sonoma area for going wine tasting. David Blank is fantastic, handles everything we need and makes the arrangements. He's a great guy. Henry our driver was spectacular, great personality, talkative, and very knowledgeable of the wineries and restaurants. Completely enjoyable experience. read more

We had Henry for a day of wine tasting in Napa. His advice on itinerary was so helpful, he was very responsive and his recommendation for a winery to add to our day was one of the best experiences and wine we had the entire trip. Highly recommend. read more

Destination Drivers Napa & Sonoma - Wine Tours Near Me

The service was stellar, start to finish. I made a mistake when I made the reservation and did it for the wrong date. I called the company to correct it which they immediately took care of. Our driver, Henry, was fun, easy going and very professional. We had a great time and more importantly, since we were going to be drinking, (wine country) we did not want to worry about driving. I would absolutely use the service again. read more

Harry drove for us two separate days in Sonoma and was great! Safe driver, very knowledgeable and extremely flexible with any scheduling changes. Would highly recommend and use again in the future! read more

I first met and used a tourism service from David & Claudia who run DD in Napa, when I was in Panama on an excursion to visit an indigenous tribe in the jungle. It was amazing. Recently, I got to experience their Wine Country service to local wineries in Napa and Sonoma, and now have friends who are their drivers and I can say they are the best of the best people. David & Claudia's mission has always been to provide people a safe space to find and be in their joy, and they and their guides strive for this regardless of whether leading a multi-day adventure in the jungles of Latin America or a day of wine tasting in Northern California! You'll feel taken care of, safe and most of all have a once in a lifetime experience! read more

We are so appreciative of our driver. He was extremely knowledgeable,personable and reliable. We would highly recommend this service to anyone going on a wine tour. David was punctual, knowledgeable and so considerate! He was so thoughtful and prepared even bringing snacks and coconut water to see us through 3 long days of wine tours. It really enhanced our experience to have David safely leading us around. ​ read more

I booked a driver with Destination Drivers for two days, one for Lodi and one day for Napa. They were great from beginning to end. Their website was really clear and simple to navigate. I had never heard of a company that drives MY car and was excited when I saw it at the top of their homepage. I called and spoke with the owner David and he was really helpful, explaining how the insurance works and how his focus is on helping their guests have amazing, unique experiences. His enthusiasm and joy were so apparent. When I got off the phone with David I was excited to book. I checked their reviews on Trip Advisor and Yelp and was reassured by the abundance of positive reviews, and so I booked two days. Claudia was our driver for our first day in Lodi, and she was a doll. I don't think I've ever met a nicer, more loving person. I was shocked when our driver for the second day turned out to be David. He was really fun and considerate and his enthusiasm was contagious. Needless to say we had an amazing time and definitely recommend Destination Drivers. it was no surprise after meeting David to find out that Claudia is his wife. The two of them are amazing. We're booked for another four days with David in January AND when we found out that they also do Canine Adventure Tours, we immediately began planning a 5 day adventure tour in Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado with David, Claudia and our dogs for April 2022. Thank you Destination Drivers and David and Claudia for sharing your view of and joy for life with us. See you soon!! read more

Last week represented the second time we've used Destination Drivers. The fact that this was the second time we've used them in less than 6 months and that everyone in our party demanded their information after our business outing testifies to the phenomenal service they provide. I mean, how many people request a photo with their driver following wine tasting? Well I did! During the booking process, Laurie could not have been more patient with our frequent schedule changes, accommodating our last minute requests. Communication was frequent and timely and her attention to detail superb. Where the service really stood out, though, was in our exceptional driver, Brent. While you will be hard pressed to find a safer and more contentious driver than Brent, I would argue it would be impossible to find someone who was so engaging as a guide, so knowledgeable on the local wineries and so passionate for Napa and Sonoma. He exhibited immense flexibility when we found ourselves with time to spare, calling wineries to ensure we could fit in just one more tasting or try a bottle of their wine. Whether it was procuring lunch for us so it would not interfere with our tastings, ensuring we stayed well hydrated or simply regaling us with some of the more fascinating Napa intrigue, Brent was hands down all we could ask for. We can't thank Destination Drivers enough for the enjoyable outing and know that when we return to Napa and Sonoma, you will be the first call we make! read more

We had a great experience with Destination Drivers hiring a driver for Sonoma. Dave who runs the company was incredibly responsive and attentive. Our driver Donald was early, safe, friendly, and reliable. We highly recommend them for a safe a great wine country adventure. read more

It was our first time visiting wine country and Tracie, our wine tour planner from the Spirited Grape, recommended that we book with Destination Drivers for our day of wine tasting. This was an excellent suggestion, and I highly recommend Destination Drivers to anyone who is traveling to the Napa area. What I liked about Destination Drivers versus other services we have used in the past is that they drove our rental car (a small insurance fee was applied). Our driver Michael met us at our hotel and was a pleasure to ride with. Michael was knowledgeable about the area and made some excellent recommendations for our stay in Calistoga as well as the next leg of our trip to Carmel. Another bonus was that my husband was able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery as we traveled the beautiful winding roads that took us from vineyard to vineyard. After a day of wine tastings Michael took us back to our hotel and we said goodbye to our new friend. Thank you for a great day, Michael! read more

We contacted Destination Drivers 5 days before our trip, as another driver service had bailed on us. Laurie called us within 2 hours, and worked her magic to make sure we had a driver for 2 days during busy season. She helped us with the itinerary, made sure there were reservations made, and did a wonderful job summarizing it in an email. Brent was our driver for the the full 2 days, and he is such a fantastic guy. He showed up 30 minutes early both days, called ahead to confirm our reservations at various tasting rooms and drove us around using the best scenic route. He always had a cooler of cold water in the trunk as well. :) He made great suggestions but was never pushy. All in all, he was a wonderful tour guide during the trip. We had a fantastic trip, which was in part due to Laurie and Brent. We would very much recommend Destination Drivers if you are in need of transportation around Sonoma and Napa. read more

I have nothing but praise for David and Destination Drivers. I felt extremely confident with his driving, no small issue since the winding, narrow, hilly roads around Healdsburg were new and terrifying for a Midwest flatlander. He made sure to get me in when I explained my situation, even though I was a first time customer. The prices were fair for what he did. The trip from Healdsburg to SFO was a hoot: he regaled me with stories from his extensive travels and I shared a few of my own. I highly recommend David and Destination Drivers, and will use them again if needed on my next trip to Healdsburg. read more

My husband and I were visiting Napa from Australia and found Destination Drivers via Yelp. As we drive on the other side of the road in Australia, plus drink driving, I thought this was a great investment. We ABSOLUTELY loved it! the communication from Laurie was stellar, helping us through the booking process and where to go. We had some ideas and Laurie (and her team) put forwards some others. A great reason to go with these guys is the access they have to harder to visit locations, such as Schramsberg which were were lucky to get a booking at. Brent our Driver - just brilliant! From the coffee stop on the road out to wine country, the knowledge and driving skills, plus his suggestion for lunch stop and generally just a great and relaxed nature - we genuinely had a great trip and holiday because of this tour. THANK YOU! read more

My wife and I recently visited Napa and Sonoma, and Destination Drivers was recommended to us by a friend. We had a full day of tastings planned and having a private driver is key to fully enjoy your winery experience. This was by far the most professional company to work with and exhibited nothing but superior customer service, something many travel companies have seemed to devalue. Our driver, Brent Oswald, a former New Yorker from Westchester County, went above and beyond his duties, even helping us plan an itinerary in Sonoma, and took us on side trips to Napa Valley Olive Oil Company, Orin Swift, and Freemark Abbey wineries. A great first visit to Napa Valley was made more memorable by the expert guidance of Laurie and Brent. Thank you for everything! read more

We highly recommend using Destination Drivers for your next visit to the Sonoma/Napa region. Our driver, Brent was a delight to spend the day with. He provided us with helpful tips and information about the various wineries and history of the area. He was also extremely accommodating with our schedule and provided us with refreshments throughout the day to keep us hydrated. Laurie was also very communicative and helpful to work with during the process of setting up our trip and even offered tips on our itinerary and recommendations on the best wineries to visit. Thank you again for all of your efforts to make our trip as enjoyable as possible and we will certainly use Destination Drivers again next time we visit the area! read more

This is the second time we are using Destination Drivers for a Wine Country trip. From the moment we booked with them it was nothing but easy. Laurie was professional, organized and left no question unanswered. Our driver was Brent , who we requested again. Brent was our driver on our last visit to wine country and we knew there would be no other driver for us! He is professional , knowledgeable, fun and so attentive. We were there celebrating a milestone birthday and Destination Drivers made sure everything was handled perfectly for our tour. These folks truly go above and beyond. If you are looking for a great wine country experience book with Destination Driver and ask for Brent as your driver. You will have a great time. Until next time , cheers! read more

I highly recommend Destination Drivers when wine tasting in Napa. Our driver Al was professional, on time, very personable, knowledgeable about the area and came prepared with water a cheese plate! He was the BEST! Arranging the car was easy and I think worth the money. Dollar Rent a Car offers you a discounted rate on any car if you book your rental through Destination Drivers so make sure to do that. The drivers are covered also. It's truly the only way to visit Napa. read more

Brent has made our trip fantastic!!!! He took our preferences and found the best wineries for us!!!! He's AMAZING!!!!! Highly suggest destination drivers!! read more

Destination Drivers Napa & Sonoma - Wine Tours Near Me

I called Destination at 9am, on my way up to Sonoma for wine tasting. Laurie quickly got confirmation that Brent would be able to drive for us, and he was ready at our hotel by 12pm the same day. Not only that, he was courteous and enjoyable to talk with during our rides throughout the day. After I casually asked about the origin of the Kenwood area during one leg, Brent even did some research online while we were wine tasting and shared that information with us during the next stretch. Very thoughtful and I can't say enough nice things about Brent and Destination Drivers. Mark read more

Great service! This really is the right way to go. The day Brent drove us was very rainy and we wouldn't have had any business driving ourselves around after visiting four wineries. He found really interesting and fun places for us to try. read more

Didn't actually get to use their service but loved the fact that they answered right away and took care of all of my questions! I will definitely use them in the future! Well worth their hourly amount. read more

I can't say enough good things about Destination Drivers! The owner, Laurie, was wonderfully helpful and the driver Brent was knowledgeable, nice, and fun. He went out of his way to help me surprise my wife with the arrival of our son for her birthday. This is a great professional outfit! read more

I would highly recommend Destination Drivers and our driver Brent Oswald. This is the second time we have used them and can't wait to use them again. We set up our own tastings, but Laurie and Brent are more than happy to offer suggestions for you. We didn't have lunch plans and didn't want to take a lot of time out of the day for lunch. While tasting at Summers winery which I also highly recommend, Brent went to a local deli for us and picked up lunch. He is so friendly, kind and went out of his way to make our day perfect. We decided at the end of our day to go to downtown Napa for dinner. Brent dropped us off downtown and took our car back to the hotel, so we wouldn't have to be dropped at the hotel and then take Uber/Lyft to dinner. Thank you again for an amazing day. Cheers! read more

Amazing service. We had Al driving 3 of us around for a number of hours trying out different wineries in Dry Creek and Russian River Valley. This is definitely the way to do the wine tasting. Laurie was great in getting everything setup, Al our driver was there on time and good fun. Will be using destination drivers again next time I'm in the area. read more

Brent was incredibly knowledgable about wineries in the area, a great driver and such a lovely soul! We had the best day and highly recommend Destination Drivers to anyone looking to stay safe and enjoy their wine tasting experience. read more

I found destination drivers after looking at reviews of different companies. I spoke with Laurie and explained what I was looking for. Not knowing the area, I trusted Laurie to set up the winery tastings. She exceeded my expectations!!! Our driver Tony was right on time to pick us up. He brought a cooler and also water bottles. Our first stop was an amazing market to pick up gourmet sandwiches. We had a wonderful picnic lunch at a gorgeous winery. Tony brought all the food from the car to the table. From there we visited a three more places. What a wonderful day it was!! To be able to enjoy yourself without worrying about a DD is fabulous!! I also took advantage of Laurie's corporate Dollar Rental Car rate. It was a really good deal. We will be using them for our next trip to Sonoma!! read more

I simply couldn't be happier with our experience hiring Destination Drivers! I had friends in from Chicago and all hotel rooms were booked over Memorial Day weekend. Laurie came to our rescue and was a true gem from the minute she arrived. She was the perfect complement to our day in Napa! She was on time and brought a cooler of water and goodies that she inserted discretely throughout the day. Laurie highly exceeded my expectations and we can't wait to call her for our next wine country trip! read more

I was impressed with Laurie from the beginning. She was very pleasant to talk to and extremely professional. She took our list of wineries that were recommended to us and created a custom itinerary. She even had a great recommendation for dinner in Sonoma (LaSalette). Brent was our driver. He was very professional as well - on time, polite, easy to talk to. He was flexible and helped us alter our original itinerary to accommodate our changing interests and time frame. An overall, really nice and knowledgeable guy. :) I will certainly contact Destination Drivers for any future visits to wine country! read more

We had a great time on Saturday! Brent did an excellent job navigating us around the wineries, and made good decisions about where we should go. We LOVED MacRostie and your recommendation to end our day there was spot on! Just wanted to thank you for the time and energy you put into our day, and let you know it was a total success! read more

We had a great day with our driver Brent during our last visit to napa. He was punctual, warm, friendly, and gave us great advice on places to go. He called places ahead of time if we were running behind. Can't say enough good things about him. Looking forward to our next trip. read more

Michael- Thanks so much. We had a great time. Very grateful we were lucky enough to get you as a driver. Hopefully we can see you again when we come back. And I just read the lyrics to your song pick. Perfect! We will add it to the list. And tell your wife thanks again. I can't wait to read her book. Take care and let us know if you ever make it to Ohio - Jaclyn read more

Laurie and Tom were a spectacular find! They took such good care of our large group. They were knowledgeable, professional, courteous and mostly just great, nice people. They were punctual, knew the area and its amenities, were engaging, but not hovering, (well they did need to keep us on schedule once, but who wants to leave those gorgeous vineyards/wineries on such wonderful afternoons!) They went beyond the call of duty more than once, and were a great asset to our wonderful, whirlwind, yet relaxing weekend. They are a must for any trip like this! read more
