We had the best day out in Napa with Hollie! she was so sweet and fun. The drive was so beautiful and you couldn't beat the views from all three wineries we visited! Each tasting was unique, personal, and private. read more

5 stars are not enough to rate this experience!!!!! We had the best day with Kent. He is so knowledgeable and taught us so much about wine, grapes, vineyards and the valley. Our beautiful sunny Napa Valley day was spent at 3 small family vineyard wineries with private and relaxed tastings. The conversations with Kent and the winery owners were so informative and enjoyable. The wines were spectacular! So much in fact that My "wine cellar " is fully stocked. Each winery was so unique with their different histories, setting for the tastings, and the wines. A quick stop at a local deli/ store to pick up a picnic lunch was perfect! I am looking forward to going back as soon as I can. Thank you read more

Kent was very knowledgeable and kept us engaged for the entire day. He took us to three wonderful wine tastings. Very personalized experiences. He also gave us advice and recommendations for days that we were not with him. As an added bonus, he's an excellent driver. I generally get car sick during these types of tours and I didn't feel queasy at all. We recommend Squire livery highly. read more

My husband and I did two days of wine tours and tastings with Kent. It was an education in the landscape, history and wine of Napa and Sonoma. Kent is friendly, knowledgeable and was always on his game. We will definitely enroll Kent again for our next visit to California. read more

I have used Squire Livery twice now, and will never use any other service for wine touring in the north bay. I was lucky enough to have found it, Squire was recommended by a friend of mine. Our first trip with Kent was probably close to 2 years ago. The most recent one was in the apocalypse year of 2020. Everyone was so accommodating to us. Really great way to get away from the craziness. Kent is a fantastic person with fantastic taste. He is one of the nicest, most sincere people I have met, I enjoyed the conversations we had very much. Both parties I took on this experience were just astounded by both the scenery and wine quality each place we went. This is the intimate experience of Napa and Sonoma you want! read more

Kent is the best and hospitality is outstanding. Made us feel at home and very personal as we were with a family member. His access to the Vineyards and winery's we visited were all private like we preferred. No crowds just us and the owners tasting great wine and learning about their business, history and process. Highly recommend if you are looking for great hospitality, history of Napa and no crowds! read more

My wife and I were in Napa last month and booked our driving services through Kent at Squire Livery. This was the fourth time we worked with Kent, and I can confidently say that I couldn't envision returning to Napa if Kent wasn't available. Kent works directly with the wineries to help book the perfect trip. He also coordinates the itinerary to ensure we either have time to stop and grab food between visits or that we can eat while on-site at a winery. Kent knows the "ins and outs" of all the wineries in the area, and it's always a top-notch experience. We always look forward to seeing Kent and can't wait to book a return trip in early 2025. read more

Kent, Hollie and their entire team know how to do Napa/Sonoma!! We have used Squire now, 4 times and we wouldn't use anyone else. Kent, a native to the area, knew everything there is to know about the wine country. So kind, sweet and attentive. Do you yourself a favor and book with this fantastic company. They take the work of planning out of the equation for visitors so you can just relax and enjoy your time in the valley!! Couldn't recommend enough! read more

What a great day. Kent delivered on all accounts. We visited three excellent small Napa wineries with fine Napa wines and beautiful venues. Each tasting was hosted by the proprietors of the winery's which gave us lots of insight into their offerings, the nuances of their wines, and the histories of their businesses. All this was made possible by Kent (Squire Livery). This is definitely a 5 star experience! read more

My wife and I recently visited Napa and used Squire Livery for our Napa wine tour. Kent was our guy and planned the perfect day for us. He took us to some great smaller boutique wineries where the host or actual wine makers took us through the tastings. Besides the incredible wine we tasted learning about their wines and stories was so much fun. Each one was unique and fabulous. We did our tastings in some really cool caves and scenic mountainside locations. I would not hesitate booking an again with Squire Livery and Kent again. read more

Hollie & Kent took us to the most amazing vineyards and winemakers throughout Napa Valley & Sonoma... one more amazing than the other and all outstanding. From the planning communication to the hugs when we said goodbye after our fantastic vacation, their attention to detail and friendliness was like no other. My husband & I would not only recommend Squire Livery, they will be the only Livery service we will ever use!! Thank you so much for making our 20th wedding anniversary spectacular!! - Susie & Harry read more

After working with Kent and Hollie while living in Napa for a few years, I couldn't wait to use their services when I returned to the Valley with my parents coming out from Michigan. Kent is so kind, knowledgeable, and professional you truly cannot get better hospitality when hiring a guide in Napa. On several occasions I have had the opportunity to experience his incredible repertoire of wineries which he ties in to create YOUR perfect day in Napa based on your own preferences. Cannot recommend him enough! read more

Kent ensured everything was perfect. The wines, the winemakers, their stories, and the landscape left us in awe. We acquired a wealth of knowledge, forged fantastic new friendships, had a lot of laughs and created memories that will last us a lifetime! I highly recommend the experience and will definitely return. read more

Amazing experience! Kent was an amazing host, who went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. Highly recommend using Squire Livery. read more

My wife and I had the distinct pleasure of touring several Napa wineries with Kent. Whether you're an experienced wine connoisseur or just starting to enjoy wines, Kent will introduce you to the most incredible experiences that you wouldn't have had without his in depth knowledge of the Napa wine country. Combined with Kent's friendly, gracious manner, and comfortable transportation, it doesn't get much better! read more

My wife and I along with some friends had an amazing day with Kent in the Napa Valley. I would highly recommend his services. I would agree with Vivian from one of the other reviews. It's better than 5 stars. read more

Kent was absolutely AMAZING!!! He created an exceptional itinerary for our wine day together! Our experience was fun, special and we created memories we will never forget!! read more

Squire Livery, with Kent Higginbotham, is your ticket to a fabulous visit to Napa Valley! Kent is knowledgeable, friendly and dependable, focused on ensuring a wonderful experience. As a local, he knows all the options to help tailor your experience with wonderful wineries, restaurants and more. We have had the pleasure of riding with Kent on three different occasions - once with our adult son, once with friends, and most recently, a ladies' day with my sister and niece. Each time, our visit was significantly more enjoyable, and safer, because we could rely on Kent's knowledge and care. Besides having personal connections throughout the valley, Kent knows the backroads and scenic routes, making your tour comfortable, relaxing and fun! This is truly the best way to enjoy Napa. Cheers, and thanks to Kent! read more

Enjoyed a 5-star experience with Kent in Napa yesterday! Great hospitality & his sense of humor was appreciated. Highly recommend!

Kent and Hollie are the best. They find the best under the radar spots and service is second to none. We have been using them for nearly a decade and will continue to use Squire. read more

Kent is absolutely great! He knows the great wineries and great wine that you will not find on your own. And ask him about his wine. it is fabulous!!!! read more

If you want a fun and relaxing day or a Masterclass in wine, Kent is your guy! Kent's knowledge of the Napa Valley is quite impressive.

I have been in Napa, Ca. multiple times before however, I have never been in a wine tasting tour this amazing! Kent was so kind and sweet, he is very knowledgeable of the history of Napa and every Vineyards and wineries in the area. Every location he took us was gorgeous. The setting was relaxing in a way that it was intimate, private and personal. Every wine was deliciously smooth and I enjoyed every single sip. Bought a couple of bottles myself :) I would definitely return and use his services again. Thank you truly Kent, me and my friends had the most wonderful time! read more

I can't say enough about Kent, Jen, and the Square Livery team. My wife and I had an incredible time at some great wineries and thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with the Square Livery team. The next time we come to Napa, we will for sure be repeat customers. read more

We recently returned from an unbelievable trip to Napa. We spent two days with Kent at Squire and he was fantastic. We found Kent to be very personable, friendly, professional and knowledgeable of the area. After a few days it felt like we had known Kent for years. We were celebrating our anniversary on this trip and it was important for this occasion to be both romantic and memorable. Kent hit it out of the park! We largely left the itinerary up to Kent and his selection of vineyards was exactly what we were looking for. The wonderful memories we left with could not have been achieved without the help of the best driver in Napa Valley! We will definitely use him again and we highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great experience in Napa. Thanks Kent and cheers!!!! read more

Kent, Holly and team will set you up with an experience of Napa you could not really imagine. We have had them plan so many special days for us and they never disappoint. I'm not a review guy, but credit where credit is due. If you have a special event or just want to try something different, work with Squire Livery to plan your tastings in Napa and the surrounding areas. You will be more than happy you did. read more

Kent makes the day so enjoyable..this is the 2nd time we spent the day at wineries he took us to. We completely trusted Kent, he took us to great wineries, introduced us to great people...so much fun, can't wait to do it again! read more

5 Star Service! I contacted Kent and Squire Livery to see if they could accommodate a last minute request for a private wine tour - unfortunately (for me!) they were fully booked but Kent took the time to connect me with one of his trusted colleagues at another company that did have availability. I haven't had a company go out of their way to help like that - generally, you just get a "sorry we're booked." I didn't even get the chance to go on a Squire tour but from this quick interaction can tell that they are top notch in customer service - hopefully, will have the chance to give him business in the future! Thanks, Kent! read more

You know when you come across a company that is so good at what they do, you just shake your head and wonder why more people can't be like that? It's rare when customer service is this exemplary anymore. I wish all business owners would study with Kent at Squire Livery. The man gets things DONE. His work ethic is a platinum-level service. We had a large group from two different states and Kent took us around Napa and Sonoma over two days. He knew seemingly EVERYONE who hosted us at every winery we visited. And he took photos at each stop with something like five or six of our cameras. All with a smile. (And each photo, it turns out, in focus!) First off, the car. Gorgeous. Quiet. Discrete. Understated. (If you're looking for a big boxy van or bus and a tour guide who really wants to be a stand-up comic, look elsewhere.) The car is like riding on a cloud. Second, the driver. Kent is exactly where you want him to be when you're ready to move. Never hovering, but always available. And as knowledgeable about the area as the concierge at our resort. A warm laugh, big smile and as helpful as can be about every single question we had. Our group loved him. Here's the bottom line: It is such a pleasure to not have to worry about slick roads, steep hills, CHP speed-traps or, frankly, having too much to drink and then drive. Or dinging your rental car fender on a tree or post. To be able to fully enjoy the food and drink this area offers is a huge gift. Kent is an incredibly nice guy. (One member of our party had to e-mail a file to a client, but couldn't find a way to do it. And had even given up. Kent figured it out for him. Talk about customer service.) A day with Kent is about understatement, elegance and fun under the umbrella of real safety. WELL worth the money. read more

We had a terrific experience with Kent! He was professional, knowledgeable, genuine, and so much fun to hang out with. We really didn't know where to go, how to get there, or whether we needed to make reservations for wineries and lunch. Kent took care of it all. I just gave him a sense of what type of winery atmosphere, wines we liked, our time frame, and he took care of the rest. If you're looking for someone to really guide you through wine country and make thoughtful recommendations, he's definitely your guy. Additionally, he took us around in a very nice Mercedes SUV instead of a lincoln town car/limo that is more common. Definitely a huge plus. I thought the price was very reasonable for what you get. After the tour, we forgot a bottle of wine in his car without realizing it. He called and arranged for it to be sent back to us in NY and even threw in a bottle of wine that I mentioned I liked. We couldn't have asked for more. We would definitely call him again the next time we go to wine country. Thanks Kent!!! read more

This is our 3rd time using Squire Livery and they continue to outdo themselves on every outing. This visit to Napa/Sonoma we booked wine tours on 2 different days. Our first day was spent with Chris as our driver in Napa. We visited three incredible, family owned, boutique wineries - Yates, Blue Oak and Boyd! Each was unique and had fantastic hosts. Our day today was spent with Jen in Sonoma. Again three incredible winery experience. We started our day with a library tasting and food pairing at Schug. We then visited Sojourn and ended our day with David at Amapola Creek! I would give Kent and his team 10 stars if I could. HIGY RECOMMEND! read more

We had the pleasure of being chauffeured around Napa Valley by the charming, Shelby! Not only did she make it feel like we had been friends for years upon years, but our needs were her top priority! She had fun facts about everything we passed and kept us on our schedule of wine tastings for the day! She had the vehicle stocked with waters for us and even took our lunch order for pick up and brought it back so we could enjoy it in the small vineyard we were tasting at! She got out at every stop and made sure to open every door for us! She was a true host and I couldn't have pictured another one taking care of us for the day! Thank you again, Shelby! She's a gem! Exceeded our expectations! read more

Where do I start? My wife and I were visiting Napa with a seasoned wine country couple friend. Now, prior to this recent trip, we would rent a car and traveled to wineries we researched. These would usually be "big name" "commercial" winery powerhouses. But after this recent trip, will we NEVER do that again! Why? Because once you tour Napa with Kent, you won't go back to any other tour method. Our friend would always speak highly of Kent, and we now know for ourselves that he deserves ALL that praise! And now we do the same for him to our other friends or acquaintances planning on visiting the area. We are happy to Highly recommend him! His knowledge of the region, inclusive of wineries, shops and restaurants is fantastic. He introduced to great wineries we would have never found on our own. These are wineries we were happy to become wine club members of. He has awesome connections with some of the best pocket vineyards. Kent, with his vibrant smile, pleasant disposition and cheery spirit makes the experience one to thoroughly enjoy! He is a wealth of information, patient, and accommodating. We don't remember him as our "guide", but instead a knowledgeable great friend in Napa. He was just as much of the experience as the wineries were! Kent has become a good friend and we continue to communicate with him. We look forward to getting back to Napa, so we can experience it the right way, WITH KENT! read more

Many of the clients I come into contact with working in "kellerville" have just one request in booking their wine country excursion : they only want the abosulte best in their wine, their chef, their lodging and...their driver. There is only one phone call I make....Kent Higgenbotham @ Squire Although he is freequently booked, He will very often spend as much as 30 minutes on the phone with my client as impromptou Valley Ambassador - and will not leave the guests until he can refer them to another one of the wonderful companies (Peralta,Platapus..etc) he himself trusts. read more

Simple pleasures can be found just a stone's throw from San Francisco. On a friend's B-day bash in Napa, I found out that wine tasting is more enjoyable when you leave the planning and driving to a knowledgeable professional like KENT HIGGINBOTHAM (Squire Livery Tours) who hails from the area. We were in Italian wine country, aka NAPA! Unforgettable! Views were breathtaking. I shall be back! -CoraH read more

Best for Ladies' Weekend in Napa (level of service = Four Seasons, without the FS price) We wanted exclusive, personalized, and luxurious service during our visit. Kent surpassed all expectations - and, then some. Think Four Seasons x 10... A simple ladies' weekend in Napa was made even more memorable by Kent's tour planning, introductions, and friendship. From our first communication over the phone, he was not only the most professional to deal with but the most cordial and accommodating for our group. He carefully selected boutique wineries that matched perfectly with our personalities. I am still not sure how he was able to read our minds. A sincere thank you, Kent. read more

Kent Higginbotham is really great at what he does!!! We have taken two trips to Yountville in the last three years and he has been wine tour guide extraordinaire!!! We just love visiting the small family wineries that he schedules like Aonair and Amizetta!!! He makes all the arrangements for the tours and lunches. Kent is an incredibly great guy to spend time with. He is funny and fun to be with and is very, very knowledgeable about wine and the Napa and Sonoma Valleys!!! We even invited him to have lunch with us at Brixe. We sat outside, had a delightful lunch with Kent and I laughed much of the time and both my husband and I throughly enjoyed it. Kent and I only disagree and that is about the ownership of guns but we just listen to each other's point of view and respect the other's opinions. And he is incredibly reasonable!! First of all, I know little about Napa and would have no idea to even start setting up winery tours. He does all the work and that is included in his fee. Another very important thing is that he is an expert driver. He takes the hills of Napa and Sonoma like the true expert he is. I just can't even imagine thinking about another Napa guide. We stay at the Villagio Spa and Hotel in Yountville and he has given many,many restaurant recommendations and he is always right on target. When we were at the Villagio in April, my husband and I decided that we must go every year to Napa because of how great we feel after a week or 10 days there. And I guarantee that Kent will be our fabulous guide every year!!! read more

I live in Alabama and came to California to see Napa Valley. We took a tour with Hollie and I could not have better things to say about the whole experience. On top of the wineries and all of the knowledge gained, Hollie is an exceptional and genuine person inside and out and it was a pleasure getting to know her. Hollie and her husband are from Napa Valley, and what better way to learn about a place than from its locals? Please take your business here!! read more

Squire is the best!!!!! I have worked with both Kent and Laurie on multiple occasions and would never look elsewhere after the experiences they have planned for me. I have also referred them to friends and colleagues, all of whom are blown away by the service and planning. They will customize your day/trip based on your preferences - wine varietals, budget, type of experience, etc. and will provide you with access to smaller production wineries not otherwise open to the public. Always a truly unique, fabulous experience. I can't recommend squire enough!!! read more
