Napa Valley Tour - Up Valley Castle Visit.

We boarded the wine trolley and sat in an open-air section--wear layers if you are in a colder season--we did switch to the inside but still good to have layers. Omar our tour leader was wonderful with good stories/information and he played upbeat music at the end of the tour. We went to three very different wine experiences; a traditional winery, a more modern winery and a small tasting room attached to a small winery. We enjoyed them all for the experience, with some wine being better than others. We had a nice lunch of pizza and gelato which was included. The only thing to keep in mind is that the tastings are not included in the price and must be paid for at each vinyard.

It was an amazing experience. Each vineyard was unique and the wine tastings were great. Be prepared to pay for the wine tastings at each vineyard. The lunch provided by the Trolley tour group was perfect. Our driver Mel was excellent.

Lots of fun. Richard was great. The winery's were informational and fun. The scenery was amazing. Dress for the weather.

Omar the driver was awesome! The Trolley was out sick, no problem, so we went on a nice bus with a/c, it was warm outside, it was great. Castle was awesome and the wines are great. The other locations were great as well.

Didn't get to ride the trolly; was being repaired. The replacement coach was fine and Omar (driver) was fun. The Castle winery was the best. Unvievable facility and our table host was outstanding. Lunch was yummy and filling. Merryvale wine tasting was disappointing other than the table setting. Fun at last stop with Cole as host.

The hostesses was very knowledgeable and personable. He was considerate and compassionate. The company made sure everyone was comfortable and started the experience with bubbly. Throughout the experience they provided water and encouraged hydration. The lunch was delicious and satisfying for any dietary restrictions.

The driver of the replacement van was awesome! Not his fault for the breakdown of the trolley Howe ver we should’ve been given a discount or something because the TROLLEY was a huge reason the activity was chosen. 24 hour notice not enough time to cancel and book something similar. Disappointing.

I strongly do not recommend booking this tour through Viator. The experience was disappointing from start to finish and completely misrepresented. No Trolley – Just a Bus: The listing advertised a charming trolley ride, but instead, we were picked up in a regular bus. No explanation, just false advertising. Late Pickup: The bus showed up 20 minutes late with no notice or apology. Cold Food: The lunch provided was cold and bland, not what you’d expect on a wine tour. Hidden Costs Everywhere: Every winery stop required separate entry/tasting fees — nothing was included. We spent over $300 extra on top of the ticket price. False Lunch Destination: The tour claimed we’d have lunch at Bottia Winery (a well-known spot), but we were taken to an empty, lifeless restaurant instead. Terrible Winery Selection: The last two wineries were dead, with barely any service or wine available. Definitely not worth stopping at. No Guidance or Host: There was no tour guide or structure. The entire group was left in limbo most of the time, unsure of where to go or what to expect next. This wasn’t a tour — it was a disorganized shuttle ride with hidden costs and broken promises. For the money, you’re better off booking your own tastings directly with the wineries. Avoid this one.

Was great! Loved the castle. Trolley ride was just enough information. Wineries were very different from each other. Lunch was terrific.

Trolley is the best way to see Napa Valley wineries as you feel more in touch with nature and it is fun!
