What people are saying
★★★★★ Engaging Tour of Wine Country With Excellent Photos To Remember Your Experience. “I can't say enough about this perfect tour of wine country. From the moment of booking, Dandy was engaged and ready to offer custom recommendations on the best wineries, locations for meals, and places to get the best photographs based on the time of day and our preferences. She completed all of the bookings for tasting, gave us recommendations on order and style, and gave us options for our meal of the day all before the tour itself. I had been to Napa before, but only on large group tours, and was looking for the personalized treatment we usually receive in the (slightly smaller, much less known) Texas Hill Wine Country and we were not disappointed. Dandy showed up in an immaculate luxury SUV with a basket of snacks ready for us and we headed off to our tour, making us feel comfortable with the area by providing a background and answering our questions. She was discrete and allowed us to relax while experiencing our tasting(s) at each place and then met up with us for candid and posed shots in the best locations at each venue. In short, her recommendations were spot on, photography was amazing, and the personalized touch she gave (including a basket at the end of the day full of wine country products) was nothing short of extraordinary. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a spectacular day with a loved one in Napa County.”

★★★★★ Wine Country Perfection!!!
From my first contact with Dandy, I knew I had made the right decision to trust her to create the perfect itinerary for our romantic get away!!! She was so amazing to work with on the planning; engaging and so knowledgeable about the area. There are so many wonderful options all over Napa and Sonoma and it can be overwhelming. She made the process so easy and helped narrow down to the perfect choices totally catered to our taste and desires! We are also foodies, so she had recommendations for that as well! As soon as we met Dandy, we felt like we were visiting one of our dear friends and just spending the day together! The weather was absolutely stunning and the day could not have been more perfect! She had made all the reservations ahead of time for our private tastings and got us to each appointment on schedule. Dandy is also a professional photographer and captured some lovely pictures of us during each winery visit so we could remember our perfect day. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this entire experience!!! We had so much fun with Dandy we ended up at dinner together enjoying one of our favorite bottles from the day! We will continue to stay in touch and we are already looking forward to our next trip to wine country for another visit with Dandy! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
XOXO David and Kim
★★★★★ Magical Experience in Wine Country
We were a large group of around 10 people, mixed of family and international friends, that booked a week in wine country. We used Dandy’s services to plan our excursions for the week and she did not disappoint. Dandy went beyond our expectations arranging an itinerary that was fit for us perfectly - kids included. Her knowledge of food, wines and culture added to the great experience of wine tasting and dining. This trip was a special trip for the two patriarchs in the group who have been best of friends for over 30 years. They are getting older and their annual traveling adventures are becoming frequently less for them. In saying that we used Dandy’s photography service as well to document the days we went exploring and touring and the images are a finishing touch in remembering what a fantastic experience we shared. With the photos taken I am creating a special photo album for their birthdays next month that I know they will cherish. Thank you Dandy for everything!

★★★★★ Looking for a magical day?
What is not to love? Dandy took my boyfriend and I on this amazing tour of Carneros. We stopped at these beautiful meadows between wineries for perfect photo opportunities. We felt very well taken care of and she even timed out where we were going to be during the sunset. We went to three wonderful winieries that she had selected for us. All were wonderul in quality but also had amazing views with tons of information. It is so nice to have someone capturing your memories for you so that you can spend the day living in the moment instead of on your phone. We deffinely reccomend Dandy's services to anyone visiting wine country that wants an amazing adventure where you don't have to worry about driving or pictures.

★★★★★ A Unforgettable Experience!
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time touring 2 different wineries and having lunch with Dandy! First she took us to Imagery Winery where we did a tasting, toured the estate grounds and viewed the art gallery. All the while, Dandy was taking candid and posed photos, telling us about the area, and giving us ample time to drink and relax! The next stop was Kunde Winery where we did a tasting and ended up walking away with a whole case of Chardonnay! Our last stop was the Swiss Hotel for a late lunch where we had a wonderful meal and wrapped up our tour with Dandy. She planned everything wonderfully and made sure we had a perfect relaxing day without worrying about a thing! I HIGHLY recommend getting a custom private tour around wine country with such a knowledgeable, kind, and talented tour guide like Dandy!

★★★★★ A perfect day!
We had an absolute wonderful day driving around Sonoma & Napa with Dandy. She had the day planned out from beginning to end starting with a delicious brunch at the girl & the fig restaurant & a stroll around the downtown area. Stopped by Bohemian Creamery & tried some mouth watering cheeses & bought some to go. Cruising around the back roads & enjoying picturesque views of rolling hills, vineyards, charming little towns & taking in Dandy's knowledgeable experience & stories. We drove by what looked like an old tin shed called Ernies Tin bar & sat out under the veranda out front enjoying a nice cold drink & snacked on our goat cheese & baguette. What a hidden gem! We ended our day in Napa walking around and taking in the scenery, checking out the shops & finished at Feast it Forward's wine tasting room roof top and relaxed on the comfy lounge furniture. Best day!! We did so much but didn't feel exhausted, just relaxed & felt like we got a good feel for the wine country. Thank you Dandy!

★★★★★ Beautiful memories captured!
What a wonderful way to enjoy the day, touring wine country and all of its splendor! All thanks goes to Dandy for planning such an excellent tour, personalized to our taste, and needless to say, the wine and scenery was absolutely amazing! My favorite was exploring all around the art gallery at Imagery, while sipping on a delicious white wine from their vineyard. So great!! Another highlight was getting to enjoy the beautiful grounds at Kunde Estate.. the tasting there was excellent, not to mention our host! Truly a great adventure and perfect photos to commemorate it all...Thank you Dandy!!!

★★★★★ A Wonderful Experience!
My friends and I had a wonderful day in wine country with Dandy. She helped us plan which wineries to visit based on our interests/requests, where to have lunch in between, and was also very happy to take our photos along the way. One of the things I really appreciated was that she helped us coordinate the timing with each place so we could just enjoy ourselves. We weren't rushed at all and she helped us stay on track so we wouldn't be late to other appointments. I will definitely book with Dandy again! She is very knowledgable about the area and pleasant to be in company with!
