Customer's reviews

This was our first visit to Napa and we were admittedly overwhelmed and unsure of how to approach everything…until we met Cheryl!!! She took one requested winery on our list and curated an absolutely amazing 3 day itinerary, handled all of the bookings, and was our driver for the entire trip (we rented a Turo flying in/out of Sacramento). I am still at a loss for words with how much of a personal, intimate, and absolutely amazing experience she put together for us. She was on time every morning and kept us on schedule throughout our time there. She knows the area and “behind the scenes” players/winemakers in the area that I doubt you will find with any other similar service. We cannot recommend Cheryl enough and will be utilizing her every time we go back. AMAZING!! ~ Ross C
If I could give Cherie 85 stars I would! In all seriousness, Cherie was the absolute BEST tour guide/driver and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. We ended up visiting 3 wineries today - loved the first (Duckhorn), hated the second (won’t be named), and after the second asked for her opinion on the third (also won’t be named). Rather, Cherie suggested another option instead (Burgess), which was absolutely PHENOMENAL!! From the wineries, to lunch, to the conversation all around, Cherie is an absolute ROCKSTAR!! We should’ve just let her plan our entire day for us because every recommendation through the day was spot on! If you don’t book with Cherie, it’s your loss! We’d absolutely recommend Cherie and plan on contacting her again on our next trip to Napa - and yes, we plan on asking her to coordinate our entire day! ~ Justin F
I cannot recommend DD Napa/Sonoma enough. My wife and I visited Napa for the first time in almost 10 years last week (second time using DD Napa/Sonoma), and Cherie somehow upped the ante from our incredible 2015 visit. We gave her clear yet wide-berth preferences for booking our itinerary, and she booked us at six unique yet memorable tasting (and eating experiences) - including a day in the off-the-beaten-path Pope Valley, which we will not soon forget. There is no better car trip companion for your group than Cherie - she greeted us each morning with homemade baked goods, was knowledgeable about our destinations (and Napa in general), and could not have been kinder and more pleasant. We will certainly be back and using DD Napa/Sonoma as soon as we can. ~ Matt S
