Bin 415 Wine Tastings & Private Tours

We did a Napa tour with Kelly as our guide and it was a fantastic experience! Kelly is extremely knowledgeable not only about the wine, but also about the surrounding area and fun/interesting historical facts that made our trip even more entertaining. The setup and questions in advance resulted in a lovely set of 3 wineries that we got to visit. All the wine was amazing, and we just opened and shared some that we bought with our neighbors and they were all raving about how good the reds were. If we pop out to San Fran or Napa in the future, we'd absolutely want to work with Bin 415 and Kelly for tours, the whole trip and experience was such a blast. Thank you Kelly!

Perfect Napa Experience with Advanced Sommelier Kelly Evans Kelly Evans gave me and my wife, Olivia, an unforgettable Napa Valley wine tour. From the garden tasting at Saintsbury to the refined elegance of Revana and the breathtaking beauty of Fantesca, every moment was seamless and thoughtfully curated. Kelly’s depth of knowledge as an Advanced Sommelier elevated the experience far beyond a typical wine tour. He explained fascinating details about the winemaking process—like how yeast is removed from Champagne bottles during the riddling and disgorgement stages—and walked us through how traditional Sherry is made through the solera system. What truly stood out was how approachable Kelly made every explanation. His educational insights were never watered down, yet always easy to understand—he made learning about wine enjoyable and engaging, even for complex topics. Each stop reflected care and attention to our preferences, and Kelly’s relationships at the wineries ensured warm welcomes and special touches throughout the day. From perfect pacing to insightful food-pairing tips and cellar recommendations, everything was handled flawlessly. If you want a truly world-class Napa experience guided by expertise, warmth, and genuine hospitality, Kelly Evans is simply the best. Five stars all the way!

We had a great two days with bin415, specifically Kelly! He truly listened to what we were interested in seeing and doing and tailored the two days specifically to us. He was a wealth of knowledge both about wine and San Francisco. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to the area!!!

We had an incredible day with Kelly, a fantastic sommelier. His deep wine knowledge and passion made the tour across three exclusive wineries truly memorable. Highly recommend!

Our group had an unforgettable day in Sonoma thanks to Michael, and Kelly. From start to finish, everything was seamless and so thoughtfully put together. The highlight for many of us was Donum Estate, the art installations scattered throughout the vineyards were absolutely breathtaking and unlike anything we’d seen before. Pairing that with incredible wine made it a truly unique experience. Ram’s Gate was equally impressive, with an elegant setting and exceptional food and wine pairings. Kelly, our sommelier, deserves a special shout-out—his knowledge, humor, and energy really elevated the whole day and made the experience feel personal and memorable. If you’re looking for a curated, top-tier wine country experience in Sonoma, this is it. Could not recommend them more highly.

We had an exceptional experience using this service for our Napa Valley anniversary. Kelly curated a fully personalized itinerary with private tastings at outstanding wineries, arranged a reservation at one of the area’s top bistros for lunch, and provided seamless luxury transportation throughout the day. His expertise as a sommelier and thoughtful restaurant recommendations made the entire trip feel effortless and truly first-class.

When planning our first trip to Napa, I was completely overwhelmed with the endless choices of wineries and experiences. I started to question if I would make the right decisions with such a short trip. That’s when I came across Bin 415—and I’m so glad I did. Instead of just hiring someone to drive us around, I wanted a guide who truly loved what they do and could share their knowledge and passion along the way. Kelly was exactly that and more. He didn’t just take us to wineries—he curated an experience that felt personal and special. Every stop felt intentional, and we were welcomed like family. The entire day exceeded my expectations. Kelly’s expertise, warmth, and genuine care turned what could have been a stressful trip into one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Hands down, Bin 415 delivered everything I hoped for and more—I can’t recommend them enough! Mahalo Nui loa!

Kelly and the bin415 team were great! Not only was it amazing to have Kelly, a Sommelier, driving us in Napa he also took care of all the details. All we had to do was show up outside the hotel and Kelly took care of all the tasting arrangements, even got us into places that no longer had openings for the public, but he had connections. On our next trip to Napa our first call will be to Kelly! It was also special to have someone so knowledgeable about wine with us but even more was how much he taught us about Napa during our drives.... and he made it fun!

This Review is for the Bin415 Tasting Room at the Fairmont: We started my birthday evening off here before heading to dinner at another venue. I love wine and always look forward to learning more about the varieties, I was really excited to try some of wine country's best, all while avoiding a drive into the valley. Upon arrival, the doorman directed me to Bin415; which was just a short walk through the hotel lobby. The ambiance was luxe, set in a most beautifully decorated lounge: this felt so ideal for the special occasion, the vibes were amazing. Our host and Sommelier, Kelly was super knowledgeable on the wines, sharing the rich history on each bottle as he poured and we tasted. The selection of wines was delicious, super "safe" and palatable- nothing was overwhelming, or too "young" and we really enjoyed the Cabernet above all. We wanted to purchase the Cab, but they had unfortunately ran out. Kelly was nice enough to offer his open bottle, however we insisted on coming back after a restock. This is a place you must try if you'd like to learn more about wine, don't feel like going all the way to wine country for a tasting, or if you're simply looking for a tasteful night out to enjoy fine wines.

My wife and I were staying in San Francisco for the weekend so we decided to see if there were any tasting rooms in the city. We found several listings, but Bin 415 looked like the most promising one so we made a reservation. We had an amazing tasting at their San Francisco tasting room in the Fairmont Hotel. We opted for the "reserve" tasting and all of the wines were excellent. The sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable, which made it a very educational experience as well. The room was very pleasant as well, with a nice view of San Francisco.

What a great experience!! We ventured into the city to meet a few of our friends who are big wine connoisseurs and decided to make a reservation at Bin 415 Tasting Room in The Fairmont Hotel because our friends were staying there. Being that we are the novice couple of the group we thought that we could learn a little more while enjoying time with our well seasoned group. First of all, the tasting room is beautiful and very nicely decorated. Really classy! The ambiance was amazing overall and had a very comfortable and relaxed vibe! Michael the sommelier for the evening was fantastic!! He made it fun, interesting and really left an impression on us, such a knowledgeable guy. To say that he knows what he's doing is an understatement. Our friends were super impressed with his knowledge of wine and recommendations for visiting wine country. The overall experience was just amazing! Not to mention fabulous wines. Just what we were looking for. Something I would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in an upscale wine tasting without being intimidating. If you love a great wine experience this is a must while visiting San Francisco. Thank you again Michael at Bin 415!

I just experienced a great level of service with Michael! I had a a high-level vision for a tour of Napa and in a less than 15-min conversation, I was provided some great advice and recommendations. If you're planning a trip, contact Bin 415, they are knowledgeable of the go-to wineries and are sommeliers too! Thank you Michael, your attention to providing service was a pleasure to experience!

Driver/sommelier is extremely knowledgable about wines and the Napa region. Beautiful scenery and carefully chosen wineries. A great way to spend a day and learn more about what makes California wines so excellent.

During a recent trip to San Francisco we decided to take a day trip to the Napa area. We were fortunate to receive Mike as our driver/sommelier. His well organized tour was the highlight of our entire trip. After gathering some info from us when we scheduled the tour, he put together an itinerary of winery stops to suit our needs, made all the reservations and even planned a stop for a lovely lunch. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and was able to clearly explain and answer questions to clients on every level. He is very pleasant to be around, and we plan to use him again on our next trip to the "California wine country."

I had the pleasure of having Michael of Bin 415 host a wine tasting party for me at my home(although he said he doesn't usually do parties)! He carefully selected and customized the wines, champagne, and also a cheese pairing for each selection! My guest could not stop raving about how great the pairings were and how knowledgeable Michael was! Great personality and very professional! My party was a huge hit and I was thrilled! I was not very knowledgable about wine and a little intimidated but he made it so easy and enjoyable for me. I highly recommend using Michael for a Napa wine tour, you will enjoy every minute!!

Amazing experience. Great guide, great drive, great selection of wineries adjusted the day of based on our preferences. There is no better way to see the wine regions of California.

Michael from Bin415 is amazing!! He drove us up the coast of California to Napa on our honeymoon over a couple of weeks and it was an incredible experience. My husband had never been to California and he was a great guide (always had recommendations for things to do, restaurants, etc.) He is so knowledgeable about wine and took us to many incredible and different wineries in Napa and Sonoma that we never would have discovered on our own. He is also a really nice person. Can't recommend Bin415 highly enough!!
