What You’ll See & Do
Climb aboard the original Napa Valley Cable Car Trolley Tour. On this tour you will ride on a San Francisco cable car-style trolley and feel your senses come alive in Napa Valley. Enjoy the warmth of the sun’s rays and the refreshing breeze that blows through the valley. You’ll have the chance to meet other like-minded people on this Napa Valley wine trolley tour. Your guides will keep it fun with their entertaining commentary.
Appreciate the beauty of the natural landscapes; the terraced hills and the never-ending vines. You’ll be treated to the magical aromas of the valley, depending on the season, that may be the sweet tang of freshly harvested grapes or the aroma of Californian sage.
We’ll visit three wineries from our selection of affiliated vineyards, you’ll learn about the growing and winemaking processes as well as trying the finished product. Visit the winery shops and find out more about their other products including olive oil, olives, and even whiskey. Marvel at the Italian and French-inspired architecture of the chateaus and the scenery that surrounds them. At midday, we’ll stop for lunch at one of the selected wineries or urban tasting rooms.

Our Previous Guests’ Experiences
The best part was driving around Napa in the open-air trolley and hearing our guide Richard give us facts about the land. It was interesting and very scenic. I can’t imagine doing a wine tour on a bus when you can do this instead!
Great way to see multiple wineries in one day without having to plan meals and all the visits ourselves. Wineries were great, food and wine were amazing, the trolley was a fun way to travel.
Definitely recommend it if you are visiting for the first time. It’s a great way to visit a few wineries worry-free!
This was my very favorite experience in Napa! The trolley was such a fun way to see more of Napa Valley and truly experience different wineries (and not worry about driving!! :-))
