Vineyards of Napa | Designated Driver Napa Sonoma

Winter’s a fine time for a wine tour… why?

By | Wine tour

If you’re thinking about a wine tour at this time of year there’s many things to your advantage. Such as there are no crowds! Making appointments is a lot easier and you can get into most wineries. The yellow mustard seed is amazing and make for beautiful photos and the mountains are as green and luscious as ever.

Did you know my background is professional photography and I sometimes do photoshoots in the vineyards of families and friends? The kind of photography you’d want to enlarge and hang above your fireplace. I also have photographed many surprise engagements. These are always so much fun when I get to be part of the surprise.

It’s still a fresh year and yes, before you know it, spring and budbreak will be here and the season will be in full swing. Release parties at the wineries are already underway. Silver Oak Cellars and Flora Springs recently had theirs.

I look forward to this year and look for the newness at the different wineries as well as the comfort and history of the appellations of the majestic California wine country.

 

Hiring a designated driver for a Wine Tour in Napa, Sonoma or wherever…

By | Wine tour

 


Have you wondered what a designated driver does? We, at Let’s Roll Wine Tours & Designated Drivers do just that… as a designated driver service we pick you up from your hotel,  Airbnb or from your home and drive you in the luxury of your car to the beautiful vineyards of Napa or Sonoma counties.

We will help you with your itinerary, if you like, or we can use what you have planned.

Here’s how it works:

What Our Designated Driver’s Do?

  1. We provide you with your own personal driver.
  2. We are a designated driver service and drive your vehicle.
  3. Call Let’s Roll or fill out the Request Form on the Contact Us page.
  4. You will talk to your driver directly.
  5. We can plan your itinerary, suggest wineries, make appts. or you can give us your itinerary. It’s all very easy.
  6. Your driver will meet you at your hotel or B&B, leave their car there and begin your tour in your car.
  7. Enjoy the tour.

We are insured as designated driver’s through Underwriter’s Lloyd’s of London. This also helps speed things up because we don’t have to meet you at the rental car company to sign our name on the contract. We already are insured. Makes things easier too.

Let’s Roll Wine Tours & Designated Drivers is in their 5th year of touring and we all still love what we do. Give us a call at 415-509-3438. We’re here for YOU!

Let’s Roll,

Wine tasting in January

By | Wine tour

Happy New Year, happy new beginnings, resolutions and all that jazz. My New Year’s resolution this year is to eat healthy and to be awesome in every stretch of my imagination. I wish that for each of you, as well.

January, so far, has been quite cold and rainy in the bay area. On a positive note, with all the rain, the news is that Northern California is no longer in a drought. All our local reservoirs are full. We also get the beautiful and luscious green and velvety hills and mountains. I can already see the mustard seed growing between the rows in the vineyards.

I told you last month some of the favorite wineries in Napa and said I would name some of the favorites in Sonoma.

To name a few wine tours that were popular… Gundlach Bundschu, Scribe, Cline, Ram’s Gate, Gloria Ferrer; Benziger and Imagery in Glen Ellen and Kunde and VJB in Kenwood. Next month I’ll tell you the favorites in Dry Creek and Healdsburg.

I’m already taking reservations for Napa and Sonoma wine tours for the new year and the spring season which is known as “Budbreak.”

Tonight I’m drinking a 2013 Estate Vineyard Zinfandel from Gundlach Bundschu. Cheers!

Give Let’s Roll Wine Tours a call. We are your designated drivers for the wine country.

The rains have come and gone … for now.

It’s a sumptuous green velvet turf all throughout the hills and valleys of this beautiful land of Northern California. Here in Marin County our reservoirs are full and they say will hold us for only two years. We still need more rain folks.

On the other hand I have had a couple cancellations with wine tours and photo shoots because of the rain. Oh no!! On the bright side it has given me some time to catch up on home chores and paperwork.

The vineyards are so close to bud break, I’m thinking in the next two weeks when we get some clear and warmer weather BAM! Bud Break!! It’s so exciting this time of year to see the first buds and green leaves pop up through the grapevine shoots.

We’re here for you.  Let’s Roll!

It’s time to CELEBRATE!

By | Wine tour

It’s time to CELEBRATE the launch of my new website. Thank you for stopping by!

Blogging, blogging. It’s all about blogging these days. I’m still learning how this new way of getting the word out to all of you works and feel I’m on the fast track to learning more about social media and SEO.

The website has a few new services offered. The Chardonnay, the Pinot and the Cabernet packages are offering photography, wine and boxed lunches for those who want more in their wine tour experience.

Let’s Roll Wine Tours will be going into its fourth year of operation. We’re moving into the low season, which has its advantages. Less crowds usually equals less traffic, but always beautiful no matter what time of year you’re here. We are always open and ready to show you the beautiful vineyards of Napa and Sonoma County wineries.

The fall colors have been simply amazing this season. The crimson reds and colorful yellows were more vibrant than I’ve ever seen them. We recently stopped by Artesa Winery in Sonoma County and the scenery was breathtaking. Their outside area was spectacular and the weather was perfect for tasting a delicious chardonnay.

I plan on blogging a couple times a month (or more) so you can read and see what’s happening with the wine tours. Exciting times ahead and I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Being open to new and creative ideas for having the best experience ever is very important so if you think you have something to add please let me know.

Let the good times roll!
