We recently took a 3 day trip to Napa as our yearly vacation/belated five year anniversary. Our inn arranged for a 6 hour private wine tasting tour with Tac and it was by far our favorite Napa activity! Better than the hot air balloon ride! We filled out an online form with information about our like/preferences and Tac designed a perfect day of wine tasting. He chose three unique wineries and a fourth that had come recommended by our friends. We had the most amazing time at his picks, which were all wineries with a distinctive trait - food paired with each wine (Robert Sinsky), huge organic gardens and orchards that are fair game to tasters (Frog's Leap), and the best Sangiovese in the valley (Benessere - where Tac set up our gorgeous picnic lunch of meats, cheeses,, bread and fruit - paired with our Benessere wine tasting of course!). The last stop at the winery WE had selected was our only disappointment - crowded, impersonal tasting room and so-so wines. We left after 10 minutes and it was the only place we didn't buy a few bottles to take home! We still had a bit of time left since we ducked out of the last winery early, so Tac took us to Regusci on the fly - and we had a blast! The welshman behind the bar had a great accent and attitude to match, and all their wines were delicious. All in all, between the line-up of amazing wineries and the first-class service, our tour with Tac was by far the best thing about our trip. Tac is extremely knowledgeable about everything in the valley and he was a perfect blend of professional and friendly! We plan to return to Napa for more wine tasting and we will definitely be calling Tac to drive and guide us. read more

Napa Tours and Chauffeur - Our picnic lunch from Tac! - Local Services Near Me

Derek at La Belle Epoque, the B&B we stayed at while in Napa, got us in touch with the guy who owns/operates Napa Tours and Chauffeur, Tracy 'Tac' Fair. Tac put together a special tour for us of Napa Valley Wineries. I spent about 30 minutes discussing with Tac the types of wines we liked, some familiar brands, etc and he was able to get us a private and customized tour on very short notice (poor planning on my part). Tac picked us up from our B&B in his new Mercedes Benz R350 and it was stocked with water and his positive attitude. He is a former restaurant consultant and restaurant owner and he is very knowledgeable about Napa and everything that makes Napa what it is (the wineries, restaurants, families, the owner/operates of the establishments, etc). The wineries he took us to were the smaller, family ran establishments that you wouldnt know about unless you were a local or _very_ into the wine scene. This was an excellent experience, from the personal focus each winery gave to you (and associated lessons), to the excellent wines we tasted. This definitely provides you with a unique experience, not your typical 'wine bus' or 'wine train' that runs up and down 29. I highly recommend Tac if you are looking for a unique experience (he even arranged lunch for us at one of the wineries) of Napa Valley. read more

The next time we are in Napa we will use Tac! We were referred to Napa Tac by the Candle Light Inn so we decided to try the service. We told Tac the type of day and wine we were looking to have, and he made the whole itinerary, including setting up the reservations with the wineries. The car was incredibly comfortable, plush, and new. He made excellent recommendations to local wineries that we may not have stopped at otherwise. Having someone familiar with the wineries, restaurants, and history while chauffeuring you around the Napa area in luxury , what more could you ask for? Great Service! read more

Tac took us to several wineries for private tastings. We were treated as royalty and felt like celebrities. Tac has extensive knowledge of every question we asked. Informative and entertaining! Will go again! We picked part of our itinerary and let Tac do the rest. WE even stopped at Dean and Deluca for treats! read more

This will be a short review. Every positive review you read about Tac is true! He was very friendly, well connected and extremely knowledgeable. His Mercedes was perfect for a group of 4. His scheduling and punctuality was top notch. In spite of the short notice, Tac put together a great day for us. Bottom line: When we visit Napa again, Tac will be the first person I call. read more

Long overdue review. We went in July and just getting around to review. Tac deserves a huge thank you and should be booked all the time. I know dealing with a different group of tourists several days a week can truly wear one out. Tac was fresh and personable the whole day. He arrived on time in nice clean non smoking Benz. He had planned our perfect day and made it a memory we think back on often. We loved the vineyards he took us to and was a wealth of knowledge about the area. We plan to go back next year and will call tac first to make sure he's available. I recommend tac as often as I can. Tac is really a nice, intelligent, friendly and good humored guy. Can't wait to see Napa and Tac again! read more

This was our first trip to Napa and we wanted to do it right. I can't remember how I found Tac but I'm so glad I did! He's the best! He planned out an itinerary to 3 wineries and a stop for lunch. And we were not disappointed! It was a fantastic, relaxing day! I'll tell all my friends about him and I'll call him again when I plan my next visit. Thank you Tac! read more

Tac's fun sense of humor is reason enough to hire him, but actually his experience in the Napa Valley is the real reason. Want to know a good place to picnic between tastings? Want to know which restaurants are hot? Looking for a private, special wine tasting? These are the types of things Tac excells at while, of course, also making sure you're not getting to know the local cops too well after three or four winery visits. Adding a driver service to your wine country visit can open up a lot of hidden options you would never easily discover on your own. Tac's business is a great go-to, and fairly priced compared to the $50 tasting fees read more

We were very fortunate that our hotel recommended tray Fair and Napa TAC to help us navigate Napa Valley. Tracy is a godsend. Not only has he been in the business of wine and fine dining, he has outstanding taste and knows how to keep things "real" for those of us who may not be the ultimate wine connoisseur. He really helped us put a wonderful trip together and was very candid about challenging some of our selections for vineyards and restaurants which proved to be invaluable. I couldn't imagine going back to Napa without Tracy's help. read more

As you can see from trip advisor and other reviews, Tac provides an amazing service. My wife and I spend time with him on every visit to wine country. He picks out our restaurants, which wineries to visit, and essentially sets our entire itinerary. His connections around the Valley make you feel like a true VIP. If he is available, you will not go wrong using his service. read more

As a travel agent for Travelocity, it was extremely important I refer my clients to an amazing travel experience, not just a vacation. Thankfully, I found a wonderful Tour/Concierge/Chauffeur in NapaTAC, owned and operated by Tac (Tracy) Fair. Most clients had no idea of the type of tour they wanted while visiting Napa. Tac was so helpful and LISTENED to the big and small demands of my clients, before their arrival. Tac would then create a unique itinerary for the client. He always keyed in on the right wineries that suited each client specifically for their individual wine tastes. If the Napa Valley is your next vacation destination, I highly recommend www.NapaTAC.com and Tac Fair for your ultimate Napa Valley travel experience. read more

I have been to Napa a few times and this trip was the most memorable, mostly because of Tac. He has immense knowledge, not only about the region and the wineries, but also about the hospitality industry in general. He planned a great itinerary for us that took into account our preferences and tastes but also pushed us out of our comfort zone a bit. He was a great conversationalist without being intrusive and was a consummate professional. I will wholeheartedly recommend Tac to anyone, and will definitely use him again. read more

Napa is an amazing place, but with so many things to do and places to go it can be a little intimidating. Tac from Napa Tours and Chauffeur has always been able to plan out amazing experiences for us. From private dining experiences at wineries most people have never heard of, to private cooking classes, he always seems to be able to come up with an experience that makes a vacation a something to remember. We recommend him to everyone that asks us about Napa. read more

Tac is the best of the best for Napa Valley wine tours. From the very start, you'll find that he's extremely knowledgeable and communicates in a kind and humble way. Tac was patient with us from the beginning, really trying to get a sense of what we were looking for and put together a thoughtful itinerary for us of places we would've ordinarily missed. We had been to Napa before but it felt like our first time all over again because we learned and saw so many new sights. The experience is completely worth it....it'd be silly to come for a visit and not take full advantage of his love for the area and long standing connections. The Mercedes is really spacious and comfortable which is a must after a long day of hopping, the huge windows allow you to sightsee in between tours and all of your belongings are stored securely throughout the day. Tac is well known and respected not just as the vineyards but also at local restaurants and even our concierge at Auberge were familiar with him. We absolutely got a little special treatment at a few places because of this. Tac genuinely cares about you enjoying your time in the area and it makes all the difference! Can't say enough kind words! Thank you for such a memorable weekend! read more
