Traveling to a place like Napa can be overwhelming. We have never been wine tasting but enjoy wine, and did not know the wine-speak which is good thing to know as Napa has its own language and culture built around wine and hospitality and can be sometimes over whelming then add in where to go??? With only a couple days (12 hours over two days), how do you find what you might enjoy, are the wines going to be something you like and then add in appointment times?? Prices at each winery have to be considered and there are just so many unknowns.
We read reviews and were drawn to Bliss Wine Tours. You could not ask for a more knowledge, attentive and personable host than Damon. From the first contact we knew we had the right guy for our trip of a lifetime. He was so professional , listened to all our questions about our likes, asked would we be comfortable 'exploring' and 'expanding' our current wine knowledge, then submitted a proposed tour. Some of the ladies in the group decided to add in sparkling wine and with in a few hours a new revised tour with detailed explanation of the experiences' and prices were emailed to us. Frankly, we were sooo happy as we have been thinking about this trip since covid and always got lost in the details and confusion of knowing whats a good wine tasting day. Damon made concise suggestions with all the bells and whistles we never thought of literally in a few emails and conversations.
The day of the tour we were greeted with smiles, happy energy and a super clean SUV. Little things like snacks and cold water don't sound like a lot but you drink a lot of water between wine!
Damon was professional, interesting, attentive, and NEVER in the entire experience did we feel left out of due to our wine knowledge or we were being harried from one location to the other. It was a seamless from start to finish.
He is well known at each of the the small locations we visited and we were embraced as friends and were each treated to exceptional service and every glass was tailored to our likes.
Without Damon's expertise we would have wandered around likely having an OK day but never thought we would still be talking about our amazing journey and reliving each location with the wines we purchased to send home.
Do not hesitate in trying Bliss Wine Tours. A bucket list adventure that lives up to your dreams is only as good as the memories you walk away with.
