I will never again do a wine country trip without the services of Wine Country Confidential, and specifically, Tony Russo. Their services make planning a trip just seamless. Plus, Tony's sense of humor and overall generous and considerate personality are just the cherry on top! Tony offers private transportation for you and up to 6 people around wine country. The duration of his services is dependent on your itinerary, but the best part is that he is there on time to pick you up, and ensures you are on time to each of your tastings. I also appreciate his expertise in planning an ideal wine experience by providing suggestions to minimize driving time and maximize wine tasting experiences. If you're not familiar with where to go, he can help you curate your experience too! If you don't have time to call and book the wineries, you can authorize Tony to book for you. What we also appreciated was how much he took care of us. On a previous wine trip, when it was raining, he was such a gentleman and made sure we all had umbrella coverage so we didn't get wet. He also makes sure we have some sort of meal planned, whether it's as simple as picking up delicious sandwiches from a local grocer, to eating at a restaurant. This is extremely important when you have a full day of wine tasting! All in all, a Napa trip will no longer be complete without Tony. We love him to pieces! My advice is to book at least a couple months in advance to guarantee some sort of availability!caitlinglazebrook

Tony is absolutely incredible! He took a group of us on a private wine tour in Sonoma, where we got to experience four different wineries. Many of us hadn't seen each other during the pandemic, so it was a great way to reunite and Tony made our day very special. Leading up to the trip, he recommended a bunch of winery options so that we would have many to choose from. While on the tour he made sure we arrived at each appointment in a timely manner and always walked us in to ensure everything was going according to plan. This was our second time booking a private wine tour experience with Tony, and I guarantee it is not our last! Can't wait to go again.Steph P

Girls weekend…so you already know we were not easy...we are loud and love our wine. We also wanted to be Covid-safe. Tony booked our day, then re-booked when we got indecisive. Communication was excellent. He picked us up on time and we immediately started being a pain since we wanted bread before our trip. Tony was accommodating and so much fun despite what we threw his way. Our winery experiences were wonderful. Tony worried that our vegan needs would not be met so he found us a great little market to stock up on munchies for the car. The entire experience was perfect and wrapped up by us singing very badly all the way back to SF. Our ride was comfortable and clean. Tony took excellent care of us and ensured that we had a memorable day. We would do it all over again and not change a thing. Highly recommend to anyone, and give our love to Tony!KimC2607

Every part of this experience was amazing! We went to three different wineries; all perfectly curated for the experience we were looking for— lesser known wineries off the beaten path. We visited wineries I never would have even known about without Tony, and the experience was once in a lifetime....

Highly recommend Tony and his tour for anyone who is into wine and visiting this area— I don’t think it gets any better than this!!
