Napa Bee Driven

Ryan was an amazing driver and so knowledgeable. He took us to the hidden gems of Napa and we tasted wine we have never found before and the price was great. This company knows the valley like no one else. Better than any other tour in the valley.

Simply the BEST way to see and experience Napa! My driver was Ryan… he was always on time and made my Napa trip relaxing, enjoyable and focused on wonderful wines!!! And did I mention how affordable the service is…$ 50 per hour (about 50% less then other driver services in Napa!!! Thanks Napa Bee Driven and Ryan for everything!!!

All I can say is Gary is amazing! We were in Napa a month ago for the first time and Gary was our driver one day. It was our first time to napa so we had him choose our itinerary. He completely got what we were looking for and took us to some awesome boutique wineries. He planned lunch for us at Tres Sabories winery which was fantastic. I was sad to have the day end as he is such a great guy! He even texted me the night before offering dinner suggestions. Amazing person and the best customer service!!! I would give him 50 stars if I could.

This is our second time to use Napa Bee Driven, and again, I can’t imagine how our trip would’ve gone without our driver, Jon, while in Sonoma. We didn’t use Donna for her point-​on concierge services like we did the first time in Napa because we wanted to play it by ear and drink/​tour at our own pace. He had impressive knowledge of wines, (as a retired sommelier, it’s no wonder,) yet he was casual and easily imparted information. We «only» went to 3 wineries throughout the day, spending leisurely hours at each one, which is exactly what we wanted. The last stop at BR Cohn included a 3 piece band on the lawn and fresh, delicious Hog Island Oysters to enjoy with our wine flight. We left utterly charmed, thanks in large part to Napa Bee Driven. Thank you once again.

We used Napa Bee Driven for 4 days and our driver Karl & Jean were both amazing, on-​time pick ups every day Karl had a wealth of interesting knowledge about the wineries we were visiting and had great suggestions for wineries we had not planned to visit. Also had terrific restaurant suggestions.
I would highly recommend the team at Napa Bee Driven!

I knew the moment I called Napa Bee Driven and talked to Gary about what we wanted for our short stay in the valley that I had made the right choice in car service in Napa. Gary was friendly, knowledgeable, and made our day of wine tasting an absolute pleasure and delight. The service is a great value because they drive your car which would otherwise be sitting unused all day. As someone who did not know much about the different wineries in the area I really appreciated that Gary helped narrow down the hundreds of choices by giving me a list of his favorite places — and they did not disappoint. I also appreciated that we corresponded by email several times before our arrival to discuss timing and logistics. Gary made everything easy and stress free. I cannot say enough good things about this service and highly recommend Napa Bee Driven. I will certainly use their services again the next time I am in Napa.

This is our second year using Jon from Napa Bee Driven, and he is the best! Extremely knowledgeable about Napa, thinks of everything and is just so fun to spend the day with! Thanks, Jon — can’t wait to see you next time!

Napa Bee Driven is the best way to see Napa EVER!!! And Gary is the best driver around! He went above and beyond for our group driving us for 2 days over Memorial Day Weekend 2015. We had such a great time and we owe him so much thanks for that! He helped us plan, recommended vineyards, food spots, gave advice on shipping wine home, picked up lunch for us and pretty much was the best driver/​tour guide/​friend to all of us! The ONLY way to see Napa is to use this service. They pick you up at your hotel/​house and drive your car so the cost is substantially lower than any car service I could find. But on top of that you get a driver that isn’t just going to drive you around like a robot. You get a person who can make recommendations and provide that personal service touch that you don’t get anywhere else. I couldn’t recommend anything more strongly. If you are going to Napa, check this service out. It’s amazing.

We had a really good time with Napa Bee Driven. Donna did a nice job with email communication and our 2 day tour went flawlessly with our driver Ryan. He provided a lot of history to Napa’s development and was really accommodating. Some may say it’s overkill to have a driver, but it helped us enjoy our time visiting Napa. I liked being able to read about some of the places they suggested prior to our trip. Some had great reviews and some had so-​so. I was able to add other wineries off Donna’s list. This flexibility makes it worth it. Was there a negative? Sure. Since there are so many wineries it’s impossible for our driver to know them all. We had lunch one day (a suggestion by NPD. and it was great) but our next tasting had a food pairing. The pairing was perfect, but I think we all started to hit the wall and had to cancel our final winery visit. Perhaps we could have gotten a heads up? A lot of companies offer this service, but I’d definitely book them again!

My aunt, cousins, and I had the most memorable day with our driver, Ryan. He not only recommended great, family-​owned wineries, he even went out to buy us lunch at a gourmet deli and we were able to eat at picnic benches while basking in the sun. We can’t wait to return. Ryan is the best!

Want to really enjoy your Napa Valley experience? I highly recommend having the wonderful team at Napa Bee Driven show you around. In the comfort of your own car, a fabulous driver like Gary will take such good care of your entire party! From sharing secret wineries to squeezing your party into amazing new places, you will have THE best time knowing you are being driven by a professional and SOBER individual. We will definitely take advantage of this excellent team again and again!!!

Wow… Gary was a great host — took us to off the beaten path wineries that were yummy and personable. Hair is VERY knowledgeable and connected us to new and exciting wines. I highly recommend him and his service.

My wife & I visited NAPA for our 30^th wedding anniversary and treated ourselves to a driver. My brother-​in-​law had used them and loved the service and sensible «don’t drink and drive» aspect.
Our driver was punctual, professional and a very good driver. The trip was easy to plan and the rates very fair.
What impressed us the most was Jon’s wine knowledge and demeanor. We choose to visit the larger more well known wineries but we’re disappointed in the wine, value and experience. Jon made a few suggestions which we followed and found a whole new side to NAPA wineries. The smaller boutique wineries he suggested were simply wonderful. The wine, value and experience were first class and we had a blast. He took us to some of the coolest lunch stops and helped us enjoy wines we probably would never try on our own. Jon would drop us off at a winery and when we returned we’d find cold water and a wonderful little snack beautifully displayed on our center console! His kindness, great sense of humor and excellent wine knowledge made a special trip truly amazing.
We highly recommend Bee Driven and will book them again for our next trip — because we will be back! We’d give ten stars if we could. We can’t say enough good things about Jon.

We used this service this month for a trip we took to Napa with friends. The driver was prompt, and met us right at our hotel. He was courteous and while he offered his input on a few things, he otherwise just went with the flow of things.
He dropped us right off at the front of the wineries/​vineyards we were visiting and picked us up when we were finished. The rate was $ 50.00 per hour and well worth it.

So my wife planned my 40^th birthday tip our to the Napa wine country. As she knew we enjoy the wine she thought ahead looking for a car service or driver.
We had such a relaxing day with Mark our driver. He was very knowledgable and very friendly. My wife planned this with the owner Donna who again was amazing.
If you are looking for a driver we would highly recommend Napa Bee driven. And will tell all our friends about the experience.

Greg was great. He drove our car and was wonderfully kind and easy to chat with while we toured. Nice resource to have – they drive your car – you enjoy the activities on your time table.

Such a great day!
We planned a spontaneous trip to napa, and didnt plan out details! We drove up early Saturday morning in hopes of finding a driver last minute. After calling around a bit, Donna helped us out and made our requests work!
Ryan, our driver was awesome!
He met us at our hotel on time, drove our rental car, and showed us around town. He is local to the area which really helped our experience! We told him we were looking for good views and he knew exactly where to take us!
Ryan was a great driver! He walked us into the winery to get us started and then left us on our own, and we’d call him when we were done to be picked up!
Definitely this is the way to see napa! Can’t wait to come back!!!

The perfect way to travel in Napa.

This review is not based on service, as I was in the pre-​booking stage of planning my spring trip to wine country. As a former San Franciscan I have always had the luxury of being close enough to Napa to drive home, however, this time we wanted to go big and hire a driver.
All exchanges were going well (timely & responsive) until I received feedback in regards to my question of a rental that were were considering. I was shocked and have just been sick to my stomach all day.
Apparently, the area I was considering staying in was not «the best area» as it was ethnic-​Hispanic and pretty shady… (not my words obviously).
Well.turns out I’m Mexican, first generation American, if it was a Ethnic-​Asian area, I’d be just as disturbed, FYI.
I work in Real Estate and hear it all the time from clients or other agents, as they state «generalizations» about areas… it’s horrible but a reality of how many people think. However, as professional it should never be said, especially a potential client. I get it, sadly the ignorance that fills many many Americans cause them to feel the same, but in our type of service driven business we have the due diligence to provide service to any person regardless of color/​creed/​sex and speak with the up most level of professionalism. I am so happy that I caught that before hoping in the car and possibly hearing a slur or comment made while together.
I’ve grown up in a multicultural community on the cusp of upper affluent w/​lower socio economic classes next door, I get it there are plenty of misconceptions… I just don’t understand the judgement, especially as a Californian. Thankfully my multicultural background has given me the exposure to the various walks of life that our wonderful country encompasses and just wanted to pass this along. I get that this may not affect many… but for someone that might be sensitive or give a $hit…just wanted to put it out there.
Thankfully, I’m about to marry the most wonderful man that was enraged and probably even more disgusted, who refused that we give them our business and encouraged me to post a review.

I’ve used Bee Driven several times, and I highly recommend them. Because they drive you in your own car, it’s a tremendous value compared with limos and Town Cars.
The drivers are very friendly and prompt, with an excellent knowledge of wine country. Donna is terrific, always willing to help with winery recommendations.
I’m a hospitality manager in Napa Valley, so I’ve worked with just about every driver service here. From price to customer service, Bee Driven is a winner.
