Planning trip for parents to NAPA, NEED HELP
 
My parents 50th wedding anniversary is next summer. I want to send them to NAPA Valley.
I have several places picked for them to stay but my question is this: Are there any private tours available for people who don't want to drive from vineyard to vineyard to do wine tasting; formal tours of the napa/sonoma area that I can reserve for them? any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes, there are. One that I wanted to book that was a bit pricey was being driven in an antique convertible.

There are many many tour companies doing this. Try to find one that is small where you can choose the wineries and don't end up on a bus with 50 people at the big tourist trap wineries in Napa. I much prefer the quieter Sonoma Valley having traveled there yearly since 2001.

Any limo service offers a wine tour. You can select from a list of wineries or select your own. Here are two I have contacted:

The second one was a great service. Very friendly and knowledgable.

Your tour could be 2 to 12 people, you'll visit some special wineries and have lunch - Napa Valley
