What we do

Two ways to ride the valley

Take a seat on the shuttle, or take the whole vehicle. Either way you get a local driver who actually knows which tasting room to hit at 4pm — and nobody in your group has to be the designated driver.

The Highway 29 Shuttle

One pass. All day. Zero driving.

Napa's main drag runs past more world-class wineries than you can visit in a day — and exactly zero of them want you driving between tastings. Buy a pass in the morning, ride all day, hop off wherever looks good.

  • Unlimited hop-on, hop-off at every scheduled stop
  • Open-top luxury Sprinter, 14 seats, chilled water on board
  • Local driver who'll tell you where to actually eat lunch
  • Full refund up to seven days before departure

Who you're riding with

We came up in this valley

We're a multigenerational Napa family. Our parents were never in the wine business — they worked a lot of jobs, and the point of every one of them was to keep us here. Growing up in this valley was the thing they were buying.

So we stayed, and we went to work in it. Between the two of us we've worked the wineries, the restaurants and the hotels. Years of it. That's where you learn what hospitality actually is — not the word, the job. Reading a table. Knowing when to step in and when to leave people alone.

Somewhere in there we figured out we could do it ourselves. Not just work in hospitality — own it.

So we opened a bed and breakfast. Guests came from everywhere, and they'd ask which wineries were worth their time. Then they'd ask if we'd drive. So we did, and the tour agency grew out of that.

Then October 2017. The valley was burning, the towers were down, and the rideshare apps stopped working — no reception, no drivers, no way out. People called us instead. Over and over. We drove them, because we knew these roads in the dark and we were already here. That's when it stopped being a favor and became a business: an insurer willing to cover it, a TCP license, and the first vehicle.

We haven't stopped since. There's a small boutique wine brand of ours, The Ghost of Autumn, and a new label we're building called Freedom Juice — agave wine in a can, fermented from real agave rather than sugar-brewed or malted, all-natural ingredients, and it drinks like a grown-up soda pop. freedomjuice1776.com. Different ventures, same thing underneath — we like taking care of people, and we'd rather own the thing we're doing it with.

Our father drives for us as well, so on any given day the person at the wheel is one of the three of us. You're not getting a dispatcher and a stranger in a van. And it's why we can get you into the tasting room that's “fully booked” — a lifetime in this valley comes with a phone full of the right numbers, and we use it for our guests.

We love people, and we love this valley. That is the whole of it, and it is why this will stay a family-operated business.

“Steve was highly knowledgeable and provided a great experience, from commercial wineries to a privately owned winery where we had the most amazing experience. Highly recommended.”

“HIGHLY recommend Steven with Napa Valley G Experience! Our 12-seater van was a convertible, so we had the opportunity to cruise with the top down, listening to our favorite music, and had a total blast as a family.”

Katharine Saussy · Google

“They were consistently punctual, professional, and easy to communicate with, even when pickup locations and timing changed throughout the festival weekend. What stood out most was the reliability.”

Private — the whole vehicle

One flat rate, whatever the occasion

Whatever the occasion, it works the same way: you take the whole vehicle, you set the route, and the price is agreed before you book. Four vehicles, one flat day rate each, gratuity included. Here's what people use it for.

Weddings & celebrations

Guest shuttles between hotel and venue, rehearsal dinner runs, and the send-off. We carry the certificates of insurance your venue will ask for, and we've done enough Napa weddings to know the parking situation at yours.

Corporate & retreats

Multi-day retreat transport, executive airport pickup, and hourly charters. One point of contact, invoicing available, and drivers who understand that the 9am departure is not a suggestion.

Concierge service

The tasting room that's booked out. The table at the restaurant everyone told you was impossible. Growing up here comes with a phone full of the right numbers, and we use it.

Airport transfers

SFO, OAK, SMF, APC and STS, plus JSX shuttle transfers. Flight tracking so a delay doesn't cost you the ride, meet-and-greet at baggage claim, and help with the luggage and the cases of wine going home.

Evenings & nights out

We don't stop when the tasting rooms do

All four vehicles run after dark, anywhere in the Bay Area. A chauffeured evening — dinner in the valley, a concert in the city, a ballgame, a night out — with a driver who waits and a price agreed before you leave.
