Four AVAs,
one chauffeur.
Sonoma is not one valley. Its tasting rooms spread across four principal AVAs, and the distances between them are the reason a private wine tour driver earns his keep: Healdsburg to Kenwood is a 40-minute drive before your first pour. Book the tasting day itself through our private Napa & Sonoma wine tours service, and use this page for everything around it.
Sonoma Valley
The historic heart of the county, running from Sonoma Plaza north through Glen Ellen and Kenwood along Highway 12. Estates like Buena Vista, Gundlach Bundschu, and Chateau St. Jean sit within 25 minutes of each other, which makes the valley the easiest full-day itinerary in the county.
Carneros
The wind-cooled south, shared with Napa and known for sparkling wine and Pinot Noir. Domaine Carneros and Gloria Ferrer pair naturally with a first-day arrival, since the district sits directly on the SFO to Sonoma chauffeur route.
Russian River Valley
Fog-cooled Pinot Noir and Chardonnay country west of Santa Rosa. The small producers along Westside Road rarely take walk-ins, so a chauffeur who holds the schedule while you linger matters more here than anywhere else in the county.
Dry Creek Valley
Zinfandel benchland northwest of Healdsburg, compact enough to visit four wineries without an hour of driving between them. It combines well with lunch on Healdsburg Plaza and a late afternoon in Russian River.
Healdsburg to Petaluma,
the towns we serve.
BlackWingz runs black car and chauffeur service in every Sonoma County town, from Healdsburg hotel arrivals to Petaluma corporate transfers. The chauffeur standard stays the same at every address.
Healdsburg
The county's wine-travel capital, where Dry Creek, Russian River, and Alexander Valley meet. Healdsburg car service covers Montage, Hotel Healdsburg, and every plaza-district address.
Santa Rosa
Sonoma County's largest city and its transport hub. Black car service for business travel, downtown hotels, and pickups at Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport (STS).
Sonoma
The plaza town that gives the valley its name. Chauffeur service for tasting rooms around the square, The Lodge at Sonoma, and MacArthur Place.
Glen Ellen
Jack London's valley village, home to Benziger and the small inns along Arnold Drive. It is a frequent dinner run for guests staying in Kenwood or Sonoma.
Kenwood
Mid-valley estates including Chateau St. Jean and Kunde, plus the Kenwood Inn & Spa. Chauffeured transfers connect it to Sonoma Plaza in about 15 minutes.
Petaluma
The county's southern gateway on US-101, roughly 45 minutes from the Golden Gate. Corporate transfers, event pickups, and connections north to every AVA.
Cloverdale to Bodega Bay,
every Sonoma County address is covered.
Chauffeured wine tour
or designated driver?
A chauffeured wine tour and a designated driver service solve the same problem in different ways. The chauffeured option from a professional operator includes the vehicle itself: a professionally maintained Mercedes sedan, SUV, or Sprinter, driven by a professional who plans the route, confirms tasting appointments, and keeps your purchases cool. A designated driver service sends someone to drive your own car, which costs less but puts a full tasting day of miles on your vehicle and leaves the winery logistics to you.
A chauffeured wine tour
Best for full days, groups of three or more, itineraries that cross two or more AVAs, and any schedule with reservations to keep. The vehicle, the driving, and the timing are all the operator's responsibility, not yours.
A designated driver
The practical pick for a short local evening when you want your own car home afterward. You keep the lower cost and accept the wear on your vehicle, the tighter seating, and the planning work.
Most visitors planning three or more wineries book the chauffeured tour. When that describes your day, start with our wine tour chauffeur service and let this page handle the rest of the trip.

Frequently asked
questions.
Common questions about booking chauffeur and black car service across Sonoma County.
View all FAQsYes. Pickup from San Francisco, the Peninsula, and the East Bay is part of tour planning; expect 80 to 100 minutes from the city to Sonoma Plaza, so itineraries that start in San Francisco usually open in Carneros or Sonoma Valley. Full-day details live on our private Napa & Sonoma wine tours page.
A chauffeured tour includes a professionally maintained luxury vehicle and a professional who manages winery timing, which suits full days, groups, and itineraries that cross more than one AVA. A designated driver keeps you in your own car at lower cost but adds tasting-day miles to it and leaves the logistics with you. Most visitors planning three or more wineries book the chauffeured option.
Sonoma is larger and more casual, spread across distinct AVAs like Russian River and Dry Creek with smaller crowds at most tasting rooms. Napa concentrates its marquee estates along one corridor between the town of Napa and Calistoga. A single chauffeured itinerary can cover both; see our Napa Valley car service page for the other side of the hills.
Yes. California permits passengers 21 and over to drink in a chauffeur-driven hired vehicle, so a bottle opened at the day's last tasting can ride home with you. Unopened purchases travel in a cooler so they arrive at cellar temperature.
Airport transfers are comfortable at 24 to 72 hours' notice on routine dates. Reserve wine tour days one to two weeks out, and three to four weeks ahead during harvest in September and October or on holiday weekends, when the Sprinter books first.
Book online or call (415) 881-6199. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, meets you at SFO, and drives US-101 through Marin, typically 80 to 100 minutes to Sonoma Plaza depending on traffic. Route details are on our SFO to Sonoma chauffeur service page.

Top notch service. The car looked elegant and felt very comfortable. The driver was respectful, well dressed, and knew the best routes. I felt taken care of the entire time. If you want a luxury experience with no hassle, this is the company to choose.
