Austin’s Wine Adventures

Austin is awesome! He is relaxed and accommodating, he will make sure you get to see the best part of Napa valley. Austin has been in the wine business and knows the best wineries to go to in Napa as well as the best eats! Book Austin for an unforgettable ride.

Austin is awesome! He took me and a small group of friend out last week. We met at oxbow market, he drives a silver Mercedes SUV super clean and roomy (seats 7). He greeted us with a champagne toast and we were off!
He took us to three different wineries which were all wonderful. We also stopped for a nice lunch at VJB (great Italian deli/​winery).
Austin is incredibly friendly and personable! He knows soooooooooo much about the area. The best part about him is how easy he is to hangout with. It isn’t awkward at all, he gives you the feeling having a family friend take you out. Awesome fun guy, very down to earth. I highly recommend using Austin!

HIS COMPANY IS NOW CALLED NOBLE WINE TOURS.
Really amazing, highly recommended. He is a level 1 sommelier (prepping for next level) and grew up in the area thus is knowledgeable about all the wineries in Sonoma and Napa, whether they have good/​bad wine and which wines to try. I would recommend you tell him the types of wines you like or the type of experience you are looking for and let him build a schedule that includes wineries he recommends. Friendly, professional, timely and we got a glass of pretty good champagne to start the day! He also recommended great delicious food or lunch and dinner and provided plenty of cold bottled water all day.

My wife and I met Austin last year when we visited Artesa Winery, where he was a tour guide at the time. He gave us a private tour of the grounds, and told us about his tour company, Noble Wine Adventures, where he picks people up and takes them around to different wineries – either ones that they choose, or through a custom itinerary that he will build for you. He was really nice, and extremely knowledgeable about wines and the area, so when we were coming back to Napa again this year, we decided to contact him to set up the tour. He picked us up at the Napa River Inn, where we were staying and took us from spot to spot, giving us info about each winery we were visiting, and tips on other places to visit (we used his recommendations for both our lunch spot, Tra Vigne, our dinner spot afterwards, Squeezeburger, and for an additional winery that we stopped at, Caymus Vineyards). Every aspect of our day with Austin was great from start to finish, I would definitely use his services again, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Our day with Austin was the best part of our whole trip! This was our first trip to Napa, and Austin picked us up from our B&B on time, gave us a brief background about Napa, wine in general, and answered all of our questions while driving to the four wineries we visited that day and personally walked us into the tastings and checked us into each one.
There was cold bottled water waiting for us in our cup holders in the car after each stop. We came out of our third tasting to our picnic lunch set up and waiting for us, complete with tablecloth and great view of the vineyards. It was picturesque! He also took photos of my husband and I at each of the tastings, and is mailing us a CD with all the photos.
Austin was knowledgable, fun, professional, and we really enjoyed all of his recommendations!

Austin’s wine adventure was the highlight of out trip to napa valley. We spent two of our five days with Austin and we were thrilled with the adventure.
Austin understood our palett and accommodated our tours around the entire group. Amazing!!!
We came in from the west coast and midwest. I would recommend Austin’s wine tours to every group,

Originally met Austin and found out about his wine adventure touring company when he was working the wine bar at Artesa in Napa. His love and knowledge of wine was readily apparent as he not only took the time to share his knowledge of the wines he was pouring, but enjoyed it. Fast forward a couple years, he started Austin’s Wine Adventures, and when I wanted to arrange an outing with a few friends, Austin was the choice.
Although his website lists specific tour options, we wanted to customize the day and he was completely agreeable to that. We discussed our goals a few times over the phone; Austin not only delivered, but exceeded our expectations. We visited 4 lesser known, but fantastic vineyards, which was exactly what we were looking for.
Austin was professional throughout, provided clean and comfortable transportation, shared his entertaining personality, and was passionate about the wines of Napa and Sonoma and sharing his knowledge. For a great experience and a wonderful way to spend a day with friends, you can’t go wrong. Looking forward to the next outing with Austin’s Wine Adventures.
