Booking a Napa Valley or Sonoma wine tour may seem simple, but as Black Tie’s Wine Country Concierge, Jeannette Hull, can tell you, it’s more complex than choosing a few wineries.
Timing and logistics are critical. “Being just 15 minutes late can mean missing a reserved tasting or even canceling an appointment,” Jeanette says.
Many overlook drive times, traffic, and scheduling when booking on their own.
Another challenge? Exclusive wine experiences. “Not all wineries allow walk-ins, and many premium tastings aren’t advertised online,” Jeanette explains.
With her insider knowledge and Black Tie’s connections, she secures experiences that aren’t available to the general public.
By booking through Jeannette, clients avoid scheduling headaches and crowded tastings, gaining access to hidden gems and a perfectly tailored day.
Why guess? Let Black Tie’s Wine Country Concierge plan your unforgettable Napa or Sonoma wine tour.
