Private Gondola Cruise with Wine Tasting

This one-of-a-kind experience blends two local gems: boutique small-production wines and a peaceful glide along the Napa River in a handcrafted Venetian-style gondola. As the gondolier navigates the calm waters, a local winemaker pours and shares their craft, giving you an intimate peek behind the label while the scenery does all the charming background work.

Departing from the Main Street Boat Dock in downtown Napa, this journey offers not only stunning river views and a serene ride, but also direct connection to the heart of Napa’s wine culture. The tastings feature wines provided by Ward Four Wines LLC, and every guest must be 21 or older—ID is required before departure. Whether it's for a special celebration or just an elevated afternoon, this experience offers a memorable, story-worthy way to enjoy the beauty and flavor of Napa Valley.
