Transportation, Apps & Books for Napa, Sonoma, San Francisco
Welcome, we're Ralph & Lahnide Amicis and Wine Country is our Passion. We enjoy making this beautiful region accessible to visitors because it is important to the soul of America, a place of beauty, culture, balance and productivity.
We drive private tours for up to six guests in our SUV's, planned in advance or last minute. Our tours are relaxing, educational, fun, possibly romantic and built around you. We explain wine making, grape varietals, viticulture and local history.
Wine Country provides a needed retreat and education for sophisticated adults living in a global economy. So, we drive the tours ourselves and design each tour around our guest's interests because a cookie cutter approach doesn't do them or this region justice. It makes a difference!
Testimonial:
Dear Lahni and Ralph:
Thanks to both of you for our recent wine tour in Napa. You were perfect guides, very attentive to our needs and wants, and brimming with knowledge about wines, vineyards, wineries, and Napa history. Thanks for the extra stop at the Culinary Institute. Your Lincoln Navigator was ultra-comfy and it was a relief to just sit back and sample the wine without having to worry about driving. I hope that any readers of this letter understand that they will be getting great value for their money.
Best wishes and may our paths cross again.
Bob and Sharon S, Chuck R and Rosemarie N - Spring 2011
