Meet the Team
Women-Owned, Locally Run, Since 2012
Napa Wine Tours By Joy is run by Joy, a women-owned, locally owned business serving Napa Valley and Sonoma County since 2012. The people who plan your day are the same people who drive you through it.
Joy leads a small, close-knit team: Buzz, George, Vincent, Jim, and Judy. Each of them knows the wineries, the back roads, and the rhythm of a good tasting day, and each is proud to welcome every guest, including LGBTQ+ travelers, with the same warmth and care.
Joy, Owner
Joy founded the business to make wine country days feel easy. She builds each itinerary herself and keeps every detail on track.
Buzz, George, Vincent, Jim, and Judy
Our drivers and planners know Napa and Sonoma inside out. As one guest put it, Buzz could navigate every winery without GPS.
Our Mission: Safer, Smoother, More Memorable Wine Country Days
Napa Wine Tours By Joy exists to make Napa and Sonoma wine country days easier to enjoy. We are a women-owned, locally run designated driver and private wine tour service that has been working these roads since 2012. Our job is to get your group to every tasting safely, keep the schedule on track, and make sure nobody spends the day worrying about the drive, the parking, or whether a reservation went through.
That means personalized transportation, whether we drive your own car or bring a vehicle to your door. It means thoughtful planning, from matching wineries to your taste and pace to coordinating the reservations ourselves. And it means professional local service from a team that knows the winery roads well enough that, as one guest put it, Buzz could navigate every winery without GPS. Our customers tell us the best part is not having to think about any of it.
Joy planned our entire day, booked every tasting and made sure we never had to worry about a thing.
If that is the kind of day you want in wine country, see how we handle the planning on our custom Napa wine itinerary page, or call us at 707-227-7323 to talk through your dates.
