Dingo Tours · San Francisco

Your own driver, your own wineries

Private Napa Valley Tour from San Francisco

About this experience

Dingo Tours sends a driver-guide to the address you give in San Francisco and brings you back there. The price is per group of up to four, not per person, and covers six hours, the transfers, tolls and taxes. Guides speak English, Portuguese or Spanish. Extra hours can be added at an hourly rate, per the listing.

You choose two or three wineries in Napa or Sonoma, and the guide suggests options and helps find a lunch spot. It's the surest way from San Francisco on our list to reach Oakville, Rutherford or St. Helena if you want it to. Be realistic: Napa is about an hour from the city on a weekday and up to two at weekends (Visit Napa Valley), so six hours leaves room for two up-valley wineries or three closer ones. Ask whether the guide books the tastings or you do: many Napa estates are appointment-only.

Tasting fees, winery tours, lunch and tips are on you. Napa's average tasting fee is high, the highest in SVB's 2026 wine report, so three tastings for four people add a lot to the bill. Food and alcohol aren't allowed in the car.

  • Private car and driver-guide for up to four
  • You choose the wineries, Napa or Sonoma
  • Pickup and drop-off anywhere in San Francisco

Tips before you book

  • Settle who books the winery appointments before the day. Many Napa estates are appointment-only.
  • Keep it to two wineries if you want Oakville or St. Helena. The drive eats the rest.
  • Leave on a weekday. Weekend traffic can double the drive.
  • Divide the group price by four before comparing with per-person tours.
