Napa Valley Gondola

From the genuine boat imported from Italy to the enchanting Italian music and our rower's beautiful songs, this experience was truly remarkable. It’s definitely one of our top three date nights!

Beautiful views, great singing voice from our Italian Gondolier (can't remember his name). Looking forward to another trip!

Had a fun solo trip down the Napa Valley River and back thanks to Xavier! It was fun going on an Italian Gondola, Xavier sang to the great accustics under the bridges, it was a fun event without the wine!

Incredibly peaceful, beautiful, and lovely experience! Growing up in California, we last visited Napa a decade ago so I wanted to do something special for our trip this time. Our friends had an amazing time with Napa Valley Gondolas last year, so we grabbed some lattes at Le Paris and headed over in the morning. Sean, the owner, greeted us and our small dog warmly at the dock. Our gondolier was Angelino (who just happens to be from Italy!) and we were absolutely spoiled by his amazing voice. Angelino sang not one or two... but seven! beautiful songs under the bridges and his voice echoed with the wind. The river is just beautiful at this time of year, the water was calm, and along the ride you can hear the birds chirping with the wind. Our service dog kept looking back at Angelino when he sang and loved watching the wildlife. The gondola is authentic, beautifully made from wood with intricate designs, and was brought by Sean from Italy. My mother, who visited Venice a decade ago, highlighted that this experience far exceeded the gondola ride she had in Italy. Seeing Napa Valley from a different perspective is very memorable. Many people book the evening rides so you can see the sunset/lights along the Napa River and you can bring food and drinks on the boat. Sean checked in with us as we departed and we were touched by how accommodating everyone was. Definitely book Napa Valley Gondola early as the rides are popular. We would 100% do this again in Napa! This is definitely worth trying out at least once in your lifetime.

Steve was a wonderful gondolier! Pleasant ride on the river at sunset. Was able to purchase a bottle of wine to enjoy during the ride. Blankets were provided, but not needed. And Steve sang us some lovely Italian tunes. Highly recommend this company!

Visiting from NJ. What a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary. I don't remember our gondolier's name but him was amazing. He sang at times and told us about the history of the gondola and the Napa region. Definitely recommend doing it. Thank you you made our day.

Perfect way to celebrate our 7th year of marriage. Haven, our gondolier made the experience extra memorable with his professionalism, his singing voice and welcoming personality. So peaceful and special!

Haven was awesome!!! We went at sunset and it was beautiful and such an awesome way to end the day. Highlight of our Napa trip. Don’t miss this!! Bring your own wine and cups (they will open for you) and they will supply blankets when cool out. Don’t miss this!!
