As part of the tour, our guests will be guided through the gothic chambers of a wine cave and be treated to a barrel tasting from one of the oak casks. After traveling over hill and dale in a carriage pulled by two magnificent horses, and enjoying a few more tastings, you'll be served a sumptuous lunch of fresh baguettes, herbed meats, organic mixed olives, imported and local cheeses, organic strawberries and wine-filled chocolates. Enjoy the relaxed pace, breathtaking scenery and world-class wines while leaving the traffic far behind. Your coachman will give you an insider's view of the local history, the lifecycle of the vines and the wine-making process. This is more than a tour -- it's a unique and romantic wine tasting adventure! « less

This year it was the first time we visit my sister and brother in law in California. We had a wonderful time but one of the most impressive attraction was to visit the famous wine countries Sonoma and Napa. It was a fantastic idea to made a roundtrip by horse carriage and we enjoyed every moment of this little trip... More

Bret was a fantastic guide, and the horses were clearly healthy and happy. The wineries were generous with their pouring, the views were spectacular, and the lunch delicious. Even the weather cooperated with us. There were only three of us out there for a bachelorette "party" and it was far better than I had been hoping for! More

This was truly the highlight of our week in the wine country. Our Coachmen, Brett was a skilled and experienced horseman whom provided us a view of the wine country most do not get to see. He skillfully guided the two Percherons, Duke and Pepper down the lanes and through the vineyards. The warm sun, the rhythm of the wagon... More

I traveled to wine county with a friend who was celebrating a birthday. I was looking to take her on a tour of the vineyards, but they were outrageously expensive. My B & B gave me a flyer for The Wine Carriage. It was terrific. the driver began by "introducing" us to his horses and telling us about the breed.... More

This was a day well spent. Brett is a knowledgeable, likable and entertaining host. We visited three beautiful wineries in the Alexander Valley - gorgeous scenery even on a gloomy day. At stop number 2, Brett provided a fabulous gourmet lunch. This trip takes you right into the vineyards- who knew you could fit two horses and a wagon between... More

All aspects of the trip were as advertised. Bret is a personable and knowledgeable guide to the region. The horses and carriage are well-kept, and the route takes you through tracks and the vines themselves. We were treated well at the wineries, probably because we were part of the tour. The lunch was a little disappointing, but that was not... More

My wife and I wanted to try something different in Napa aside from the usual tastings. The Wine Carriage offered a great alternative and the proprietor and driver Brett was excellent and very informative about the history and the area. I can say enough that you can't go wrong with a beautiful sunny day through several wineries in Sonoma like... More
