About Tour Guide Rick E.

With over 15 years of experience specializing in private, boutique wine tours, I offer curated, insider journeys through Napa and Sonoma Wine Country tailored to your personal tastes and interests. My tours go beyond the ordinary—crafted to highlight the best of Wine Country, from iconic estates to hidden gems tucked away on scenic backroads. Each itinerary is customized based on your wine preferences, pace, and level of experience. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just beginning your wine journey, I guide you to wineries that match your style—whether it’s bold Cabernets, elegant Pinot Noirs, or small-production varietals rarely found outside the region. I have long-standing relationships with many boutique wineries, providing access to intimate tastings and behind-the-scenes experiences not available to the general public. With a deep understanding of the area’s geography, history, and wine culture, I ensure smooth navigation throughout the day, allowing you to relax and savor the experience without worrying about logistics or time constraints. My goal is to deliver a seamless, engaging, and memorable day in Wine Country—one that feels entirely your own. Let me take the guesswork out of planning and elevate your visit to Napa and Sonoma with a thoughtfully curated, private wine country experience.
