Experience Overview:
Self Guided Trip In Carneros Wine RegionA Wine Country Experience—Powered by Nature, Not a Pump
Glide effortlessly through winding estuary waters as the incoming tide carries you on a 4-mile round-trip paddle into the heart of an untouched wetland. At times, the waterway narrows to just twelve feet, bringing you eye-level with the sights, sounds, and stillness of this thriving tidal ecosystem.
Discover Napa Valley in its most natural form—by water. From the daring journeys of George C. Yount to the volcanic soils that define its world-class wines, this region’s story unfolds with every paddle stroke. What began as a humble outpost has blossomed into a vibrant, layered destination teeming with untold stories.
Our self-guided audio tour brings those stories to life—featuring original content by local winemakers, historical insights, and hands-free navigational assistance for the full 3.2-mile estuary loop. Narration is provided by real local voices… and yes, even a special guest: Robo (Burt) Reynolds. Sample the Experience
