10/10! What a great experience
I cannot recommend Bliss Wine Tours enough because it was exactly that—bliss! From the moment we booked, Damon was already reaching out to us, helping plan our tour and giving us recommendations. My friends and I just happened to be his 10,000th guests, but honestly, I don’t think that made a difference in the experience. He truly loves what he does, and it shows. His family even surprised us with balloons, which was the sweetest thing ever! It made us feel so special, and it really showed us that this is truly a family business. We went for a friend’s birthday/girls’ trip, and Damon picked us up from our Airbnb right on time. He had snacks and water for us and was so great to talk to. He let us DJ and showed absolutely no signs of distress as we cackled, joked, and sang all day—in fact, he encouraged it! He was such a trooper! Most importantly, we felt completely safe and comfortable with Damon throughout the entire day. He was professional, respectful, and made us feel at ease from the moment he picked us up until he dropped us back off. The wineries we visited were AMAZING! The staff were so welcoming, and the wine was delicious. Let’s just say the experience has me pledging allegiance to these brands! Each winery knew Damon very well, which made every stop feel so personal and welcoming—almost like we were part of the family. Damon also understood that with a group of girls, pictures were a must! And he did not disappoint. Without us even having to ask, he offered to take our photos at every location—and boy, did we have a lot of them! He gave us our space at each stop so we could enjoy our time together, but he also checked on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. At the end of the day, he brought us safely home and even helped us carry all of our wine bottles inside (because, of course, we had to buy some for home!). I would 1,000% use Bliss Wine Tours again and recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing wine tour experience. From start to finish, everything was thoughtful, personal, and absolutely worth it!

Amazing day touring the valley
We had a wonderful day touring the valley with Damon. He customised the day specifically for us and his itinerary was perfect for our taste and interests. Amazing day out and lots of fun!
via Tripadvisor
So much Fun!
Damon was so great! My girlfriend booked everything with him and us 7 ladies had a wonderful time in Napa and Sonoma. We did 10 wineries in 3 days. Damon was great to keep us ladies punctual as it is easy drink yummy wine and get lost in your day. Damon had a great list of wineries he scheduled for us. We enjoyed every experience. Thank you Damon!

Highly recommend Damon Mushrush and Bliss Wine Tours!
Damon is terrific! He knows all the smaller less well known wineries. He directed us to 3 that we found to be more relaxed and enjoyable than the larger more commercial options. We scheduled 4 wineries each of two days (2 in the morning, lunch, 2 in the afternoon). Damon handled all the reservations and set up the itinerary. He was on time, fun and had greats ideas for side trips like Muir Woods and Golden Gate Overlook. Highly recommend Damon and Bliss Wine Tours!

Great times in Wine Country
Have been on many Bliss Wine tours with Damon. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. I would give 10 stars if I could. We go to unique wineries where we meet the winemakers and learn about the wines. He listens to what we want for the day and plans accordingly. Have been to Sonoma & Napa with Bliss Wine Tours. Will book our next trip with Bliss, too.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
8 Hour Private Customized Wine Tour up to 7 Guests Napa & Sonoma: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santa Rosa.
How much does 8 Hour Private Customized Wine Tour up to 7 Guests Napa & Sonoma cost?
+
Prices start at $750 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Rosa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 8 Hour Private Customized Wine Tour up to 7 Guests Napa & Sonoma take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santa Rosa is not rushed.
Is 8 Hour Private Customized Wine Tour up to 7 Guests Napa & Sonoma worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 42 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santa Rosa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8 Hour Private Customized Wine Tour up to 7 Guests Napa & Sonoma?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 8 Hour Private Customized Wine Tour up to 7 Guests Napa & Sonoma suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8 Hour Private Customized Wine Tour up to 7 Guests Napa & Sonoma?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santa Rosa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santa Rosa and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8 Hour Private Customized Wine Tour up to 7 Guests Napa & Sonoma start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santa Rosa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santa Rosa?
+
Santa Rosa is the practical base for Sonoma County: winery tours through Russian River and Dry Creek, hot air balloon flights over the valley, and redwood trips to Armstrong Grove. On Outty we rank every Santa Rosa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sonoma County Join-In Group Wine Tasting Tours, Best E-Bike Rental! Wine country fun, Russian River Kayak Tour at the Beautiful Sonoma Coast. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santa Rosa?
+
April to June and September to October, with harvest in September. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santa Rosa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
