Sophistication and Opulence in Napa Valley

Even if you?re not from the Bay Area, you?d probably know what Napa Valley is famous for---W-I-N-E. From bottles of Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and hundreds more, a trip to the winery certainly spells sophistication. Imagine wearing a pastel summer dress tasting an elegantly oak-aged Chardonnay, waking all your senses with its light yellowish hue, with its fruity taste reminiscent of fresh pear and its floral, spring-like aroma---this is luxury in its finest. The only thing that is missing from the picturesque scene is the transportation. With this raised, why not try one of the Bay Area limousine services? This is a good way to cap off your vineyard tour.

There are various establishments offering luxury packages including wine tasting and car service A couple of these are the Monterey limo and the Napa Valley limousine tour. Problem now is what package will you opt for? To whom will you present your business, would you go to a well-know vineyard or a small, cozy more personal tour? Would you prefer a lively group tour or an intimate one? These are a few of the questions you need to answer before rushing to the internet and clicking on websites presenting such packages.

Getting the right package deal. Personally, I shop around for prices. I do this for almost every business I undertake. If I?ll be needing a chauffeured ride, I?ll look for one that matches my specific requirements. He should know his way around the area. This is not only for averting traffic but also to maximize the ride by picking a route where scenic views can be perceived. Experience, personality and punctuality, these characteristics I look for when choosing a chauffeured guided tour or in this case a Napa Valley limousine tour. One may ask about the manner on how identify said traits, the answer is simple and it is done the old fashion way?asking around. A satisfied individual readily gives compliment to a company granted he received above par service. Word of mouth alone could indicate the rise or fall of any business. To further your research, you can ask for the company?s license, proof of insurance and other pertinent documents. Remember that you have the right to see these records; there is nothing worst than paying premium for a service that is sub par. Most of the packages offer a half-day tour including wine tasting. But for the more lavish personalities, there are those that offer a certain number of days stay in a hotel comfortable situated near the vineyard.

Huge Vineyard Group Tours vis-?-vis Cozy Winery Intimate Escape. Obviously, the former offers more variety of wine but same comes with a bigger price tag for their tasting and other merchandise. These are open almost everyday for tours and wine samplings. More often than not, limo services have tie-ups with a list of wine providers. The itinerary that they?ll present involves two to three vineyards in a day?s tour. I?ve been in numerous group tours and I?ve noticed that after a couple of hours, people start to stray away (mentally) from the designated guide. Furthermore, if you?re stuck in a group, you can?t really move from one place to another---ergo, you can?t enjoy the tour. (Though it would highly depend on an individual?s mindset.) On the flipside, there is the small, family owned wineries. When costs are compared, this is surely the place to go but you have to book for an appointment first specially when you want to try out their products. Also, in settings like this one, you can feel the elegance, the familiarity, you may even feel that you?re a wine connoisseur. The disadvantage would be the limited number of vineyards your can visit. Not unless you know a local who?ll be willing to guide you to Napa Valley?s well kept secret wineries.

Be it a group tour in huge vineyards or an intimate product sampling in a small, family owned winery, one must make the most out of the experience. (You can even drink to heart?s content, but not too much though. Remember that you have a chauffeur and a limo to take you back to your hotel, not back to your hotel room.)
