We are Cristal Blue Carriage and we provide 'Boutique Transport' to 'Boutique Wineries' in Northern California. We specialize in Napa and Sonoma but the other wine growing regions of the San Francisco Bay Area are not out of the question. We have been traversing these two valleys for several years now, and almost two years under our own banner of Cristal Blue. We are a small tour service, a fleet of three only, but we give the personal service that a larger company can only dream of, and we are not about to change a thing. We focus on the smaller wineries because they have become our good friends over the years, and treat our guests as their friends as well. This is a part of 'our wine country experience', good friends meeting over good wine, you can not beat it. This is why over 90% of our guests are repeat passengers or their referrals. It was our intention when we created Cristal Blue Carriage, to kick it up a couple of notches and provide the Ultimate Wine Country Experience and I guess we are succeeding, we were a finalist for "The Best Adventure in Wine Country" at the Golden Grape Awards in 2006, and we intend to win in 2007.
Our relaxed, knowledgeable and friendly style has become our trade mark in an industry that is somewhat lacking in customer service up in wine country. |

A basic knowledge of wines is hard to find amongst the drivers that service this little piece of paradise, I find that very sad. You are paying good money for a car service, and for them not to have a great knowledge of the area and the wines and wineries that populate it, it is wrong. Then to unceremoniously dump you in front a large commercial winery, whose wine you can get at any Supermarket in the country, does not seem right to us. The wine country experience is about finding new to you wines, tasting new to you brands, not the same old thing you can get at your corner store. As many Boutique Wineries have little or no distribution their production is only available at the winery, now it is your chance to get a wine, that 'your know it all wine snob 'friend' (we all have them) has never heard of, and it didn't cost you $300.00., that alone can make your whole trip worthwhile.

We prefer to plan the day, with your input of course, because we want your day to be perfect. We know the logistics of the area, travel times, tasting time and how to avoid the traffic, we can get you effortlessly from winery to winery without you ever having to say 'are we there yet?'
We provide Platinum Service Only and you are always #1 with us. We can arrange Accommodations, Dinner Reservations, a Golf Tee time or a Spa Day and Shopping Trip, just think of us as 'Your Friends in Wine Country'.

We chose our 'Carriages' very carefully, comfort is a great part of any pleasure traveling, these have space, headroom and very comfortable seating. With a metallic blue paint they are drop dead gorgeous in the day time and with blue LED opera lights are a whole different persona at night. We do not believe in "packin them in", we use a 6 passenger for two to four guests, an 8 passenger for five to seven and a 10 passenger for seven to nine
SO COME AND ENJOY OUR WINE COUNTRY IN THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE.
