Experience Italy in Napa

My first gondola ride was in Venice, Italy so it amazed me that in my home state of California I could find it here. I brought my husband and our friends and we truly enjoyed ourselves. Our guides name was Haven and he was the best. He was funny, knowledgeable, a true social butterfly. This place is perfect if you want to do something different. Please do not pass up this unique opportunity to get a taste of Italy.

Highlight of Our Trip

Haven was awesome!!! We went at sunset and it was beautiful and such an awesome way to end the day. Highlight of our Napa trip. Don’t miss this!! Bring your own wine and cups (they will open for you) and they will supply blankets when cool out. Don’t miss this!

Awesome

Napa Valley Gondola is a great way to experience the Napa River. My wife and I along with four friends recently did the Casanova tour that goes up river to the Oxbow Preserve. We went at four o'clock on a late October evening with great weather - perfect for the champagne that we brought. Sean was a very personable guide and very knowledgeable. The pricing was quite reasonable for six people. I would recommend bringing a jacket just in case it gets windy, especially for tours late in the day.

Perfect

Perfect way to end a romantic evening. Slowly gliding on the Napa River, looking at all the lights of downtown Napa shimmering in the river. Smooth, calm, relaxing and I love the sounds of the insects and frogs! (like Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland) We had a marvelous time, and will repeat it again on our next trip to Napa!
