I’ve been to wine country quite a bit and there’s no shortage of bad private drivers. (Picture it, one time we were having lunch at a fancy grocery that had outdoor picnic benches and one driver came and sat with us and started talking! We were there to catch up with each other, it was so odd. Another time a driver was practicing his comedy routine. All I can do is shake my head). But John! John was PERFECT. He was better than perfect. He was polite, considerate, accommodating when a plan changed, and just lovely to be around. My search for drivers in the wine country is over. Can’t say enough good things. You won’t be disappointed.

John is the best driver I’ve ever had in the Napa/Sonoma region. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, courteous and kind. He picked up our picnic lunch while we were at a winery and while we were at the second winery, he set up a beautiful picnic table for us with plates, placemats, etc. He could answer all our questions about the region, agriculture, etc. He was also very helpful with the itinerary, timing, etc. and suggested a wonderful winery that we truly loved. He made my mom’s big 70 birthday very special! He’s the only driver we will ever use again!
