Napa Valley Wine Trolley Up and Running
New service joins similar trolley in Sonoma; Yountville has its own trolley too.
A new Napa Valley Wine Trolley has launched for visitors who want to enjoy wine tasting and a tour of the Valley.
The Napa Valley Wine Trolley takes visitors on a full day tour that allows guests to take in the gorgeous scenery, aromas, and tastes of world class vineyards from a fun and unique perspective.
The Napa Valley Wine Trolley is a motorized, replica of a classic San Francisco cable car. While everything on the outside appears vintage and takes you back to a by-gone-era, the ride is smooth and comfortable thanks to modern automotive technology.
The Napa Valley Wine Trolley picks up passengers daily at the Oxbow Public Market at 10:30 a.m. and returns about 4:30 p.m.
Guests may reserve their seat at www.napavalleywinetrolley.com, or call 1- 877-Wine-Trolley, or 707-252-6100.
A 6-hour tour on the Napa Valley Wine Trolley costs $99 per person and includes:

"We are excited to bring our unique tour into Napa Valley," said Craig Haskell, general manager of both the Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley Wine Trolleys. "Our Wine Trolley tours have proven to be a fun, educational, and safe way for people to experience some of the best wineries in the world. Riding in our open air trolley provides guests with an experience that no other motorized tour company does."
The town of Yountville also operates a free trolley service that is geared for transit rather than tours.
