You already have the perfect wine tour vehicle: your own car. What you need is someone qualified to drive it while you taste. That’s our whole business — professional drivers for your car or rental, by the hour, anywhere in Napa Valley.
Why “your car, our driver” beats every alternative
- Cheapest professional option — you pay for a driver, not a vehicle. No $100k Sprinter built into your hourly rate.
- Your own space — car seats already fitted, your cooler in the trunk, your playlist, no strangers.
- No logistics — no shuttle pickups, no meeting points, no leaving your car overnight in a winery lot.
- Rental-friendly — flying in? Your rental becomes a private tour vehicle the moment our driver arrives.
How a day with your hired driver works
- Book your hours — tell us the date, start time and rough plan. 5-hour minimum covers a proper tasting day.
- Meet your driver — they arrive at your door, adjust mirrors, and from that moment the day is yours.
- Go where you like — planned winery route or total improvisation; changing plans mid-day is fine.
- Done means done — you’re dropped at your door and your car is in its spot. No morning-after retrieval mission.
Beyond wine tasting
Our drivers also cover dinner runs (Yountville tasting menus deserve wine), events and weddings (arrive and leave in your own car, no valet chaos), and long one-ways — we’ll drive you and your car home to the Bay Area or Sacramento after your wine country stay.
Frequently asked questions
Can I really hire someone to drive my own car in Napa?
Yes — it’s exactly what we do. A licensed, insured professional meets you at your hotel or home and drives your car (or your rental) for the day while you ride as passengers.
Is a hired driver covered to drive my car?
Yes. Our drivers are professionally insured for operating client vehicles, and your own auto policy’s permissive-use coverage typically applies as well. We’ll gladly walk through the details when you book.
Does this work with a rental car?
Yes, and it’s one of our most common bookings — fly into SFO, pick up your rental, and we provide the driver for your wine country days. Check that your rental agreement allows additional drivers, or simply list our driver at the counter.
How is this cheaper than a car service?
You’re not paying for a vehicle — just the professional behind the wheel. A chauffeured SUV bills $85–$170 per hour partly to cover the car; with your own car you pay only the driver’s hourly rate.
What if we want to keep the driver longer on the day?
Just say the word. Extra hours are billed at the same hourly rate — no overtime premium — subject to the driver’s schedule that evening.
