"Nick, I wanted to Thank You again for a fabulous fabulous day in wine country... You made my birthday wine experience "perfect" and I would recommend you to anyone.. Many many thanks."

Maureen McCabe, Denver, CO

"What a delightful day. Nick's winery tour was the highlight of our wonderful week in the Napa valley. The wineries he took us to in his beautiful Lincoln Navigator were delightful. Small family owned wineries which most visitors seldom visit. After visiting the last winery on our tour we entered the Lincoln and found a wonderful tray of cheeses and chocolate. The perfect ending to a perfect day."

"My wife and I have done a few wine tours around Napa...the typical town car or (even, dreadfully) the stretch limo. Nick's tours are anything but typical. They are fully personalized for each of his customer's preferences. Days before the tour, Nick took time upfront to understand what kind of wine we liked, what kind of experience we wanted and which car we'd prefer (the Mercedes SUV or Navigator...a great fleet for a one man show). And, he delivered! We only saw places that were off the beaten path and fully personalized for us. Nick is an all around good guy and lots of fun to hang with throughout the day. The cheese, fruits and nuts were unexpected and a really great touch. At the end of the day, what becomes clear, is that Nick loves the wine country and he loves what he does. This positive attitude effects everyone around him; the wineries love him and extend a warm welcome to his customers as a result. Way to go Nick! We'll be back for sure."

"Our wine tasting day with you was the highlight of the week. We didn't know the area and had no idea where to go so we really appreciated your taking the reigns for us and selecting such fabulous "boutique" wineries for us to visit. The restaurant you chose for our luncheon was also fabulous. My next visit to the Napa area will be a "girls getaway" and you can be sure I will again be calling Perata Luxury Car Services!"

Phyllis Mackie, San Pedro, CA

"I have had a lot of hired cars in my days and none have gone the extra mile that you did. The little things like the snacks when we returned to the car, the wealth of information you shared with us and of course your very pleasant attitude and smile. Your vehicle was very clean and roomy for the four of us, so no one felt uncomfortable at any time on our journey through the valley. Your choices of vineyards was matched perfectly with what we were looking for this trip. You were able to find vineyards that we could never of gotten in to see and had a great relationship with the owners of the wineries which made it very interesting and very comfortable. We will be highly recommending you and your service to all our friends in Canada and the United States. Once again Nick it was a great pleasure spending time with you in the beautiful Napa Valley. See you in September and thanks again for finding a shipper for our spectacular wine back to Canada."

Brian Rogers, Canada

"Our entire family enjoyed the level of professionalism balanced out with the relaxed atmosphere you provided - we truly felt pampered, while still being able to be ourselves! The day was a perfect blend of following our whims and desires with helpful suggestions and insights, creating a remarkably enjoyable and informative afternoon. With my folks coming from the east coast and my brother coming from England, it was a pleasure to have such a carefree afternoon together and we thank you for making that happen so easily! Thanks again - we'll certainly reccommend Perata Luxury Car Services to others making similar jaunts to wine country!"

"With only one day to experience Napa, Katie and I were keen to get it right. Choosing Nick Perata was without a doubt the right way to go. Nick made the day absolutely perfect - he knew his stuff, listened to what we liked and didn't like, gave constructive tips, was proactive in coming up with suggestions, was flexible, and didn't stop organizing our day. The selection of wineries was spot on - brilliant wines and entertaining people made for a truly great day. We'd tour Napa with Nick again in an instant and recommend anyone else heading there does too."

Dan and Katie, Sydney, Australia

"We all very much enjoyed your tour with Perata Luxury Car Services. It was your local knowledge, attention to detail, and superb service coupled with your relaxed and friendly manner that made the tour the highlight of our Napa Valley experience. We would not hesitate to recommend your service to any of our friends."

Bob and Cheryl Cords, Manton, CA

"Nick, I wanted to say thanks again for helping to make a great day for my wife and I on Friday. Erika and I had such a wonderful time. I'm very thankful that we stumbled upon your site and that you just happened to be available. I can't say enough about the level of service you provide and it helps that you're a great guy to boot! We'll be sure to give you a call before our next trip to make certain you're available."

Mark Patten, West Palm Beach, FL

"You can stop searching for an amazing service right here and book with Perata Luxury Car Services. I was a little hesitant about booking a tour with a smaller company but Nick proved that I was wrong. Perata Luxury Car Services IS THE BEST!!! His Mercedes is in immaculate condition and he is very professional, punctual, amazing hospitality and careful selection of wineries (will also visit the ones on your own list). He even called some of the wineries for us and made sure that we will have a spot in tastings. Nick provides not only a luxury car service but also gives you a very knowledgeable tour. We spent a wonderful weekend in Napa and Nick made this visit a memorable experience. I highly recommend his services."

"The best thing we can say about Nick and Perata Luxury Car Services is that we were beyond impressed. Our expectations were exceeded and Nick catered to our every need. Having never been to Napa, we were unaware of how things worked or what to expect from any vineyard or tasting. The first thing Nick did was spend time profiling our wishes so that he could meet all of our goals. Taking us to private tastings and vineyards that matched our style and desires (even though we weren't really sure what that looked like) was at the top of his list. He was able to work out an excellent day on the fly, and the only thing that disappointed me was that we didn't have time to book him for a second day! When he informed us that he would take care of all of our wine (in his climate controlled carrier) and take the time to personally package and ship the wine with no extra handling fees, we were ecstatic. This coupled with the peace of mind involved with sitting in the back of an immaculately clean Mercedes-Benz munching on snacks in between stops with nothing more to worry about than keeping hydrated. Oh, and did I mention he takes pictures too? I am quite the photo fanatic and Nick was there with every shot I could have wanted, yet discreetly blending in and allowing us to enjoy our experiences. What a wonderful day! Thank you Nick! We will come back soon! (and send friends!)"

"My wife and I were on our honeymoon and were recommended to Perata Luxury Car Services, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. Nick greeted us punctually at our our hotel, and since we were unprepared with appointments, came up with a game plan for us and got us into the cool, charismatic, off the radar boutique wineries and tasting rooms whose wines you don't find outside the area. He also provided a cheese plate and refreshments for the ride between tasting rooms. Best of all, we weren't riding around in a gaudy steel black limo but a sleek Mercedes Benz. In my opinion the service, quality and genuine care for his guests needs is what sets Nick and Perata Luxury Car Services apart from the rest."

Nick Woodhams, Mesa, AZ

"Our experience with Perata Luxury Car Services was first rate. Nick is knowledgeable, friendly, and has some great on-of-a-kind wine experiences that made our trip special. The drive, the wineries we visited, the car, and the little extras along the way helped make our Napa Valley weekend wonderful."

John Whitehurst and Lisa Hanson, Oakland, CA

"Nick Perata is very personable, providing a great running commentary on the area. He also understands customer service, providing refreshments and snacks for guests (and even offering climate-controlled storage for any wines you might buy!)"

Susan Waldron, Concierge, Grand Hyatt San Francisco

"Nick Perata's service is truly a Luxury Car Service. He listens to the kind of experience you want in the wine country and tailors his suggestions of winery tours and restaurants to enhance your experience. Ladies, if you want a true gentleman to show you around the Napa Valley, Nick is who you need. You are greeted by a professional with vast knowledge of the Napa area, clean luxurious car, doors opened and held for you, water and treats to sustain you through a wonderful day of touring."

Suzanne Boragno, San Francisco, CA

"This was an absolutely fantastic experience! Nick's knowledge of the area and professionalism is outstanding. For a great, intimate time in Napa, I would highly recommend Nick's service to show you the way!"

Stephanie Young, Walnut Creek, CA

"A wonderful experience. Just what we wanted! Nick was a gracious host and a very personable guide - he anticipated our every need, even before we knew what we wanted! I will definitely be back, and will recommend Perata Luxury Car Services to ALL my friends and family!"

Laura Brooks, Little Rock, AR

"Nick, I want to thank you again for an awesome trip. We had such a good day/time with you the first day that we booked again for a second day. Your pick of wineries and places to eat were second to none. You took care of reservations for us and even went above and beyond to give us some good spots to visit for the rest of our trip. I most definitely will use your service again!"

Casey Darmon, Hernando, FL

"Hiring Nick Perata for our Napa trip was absolutely the best thing we could have done. Nick was professional, prompt and planned the most amazing day for me and my friends who were visiting from out of town. He set up all the appointments, coordinated the timing and worked with the wineries when we were running a few minutes late.

The day started with Nick picking us up in the city in his brand new Lincoln Navigator - it was comfy, clean and he even provided snacks and water throughout the day. In our email correspondence, he suggested a few of his favorite restaurants in Napa - Mustard's grill was simply delicious. After lunch we visited four wineries - three which Nick selected himself and one that my friend had a membership at.

Nick ensured that we stayed on schedule without rushing us and was very knowledgeable about each vineyard that we visited. He also had great connections and we were treated like VIPs!

I cannot recommend Perata Luxury Car Services enough. As a Napa resident, he really knows his stuff. He took us to wineries we wouldn't have known about without him. The next time I want an escape from the city, i'll be sure to call Nick!"

Jennifer Saksa, San Francisco, CA

"Nick at Perata Luxury Car Services set-up some fantastic, off the beaten path wineries in the Napa Valley that we would have never found on our own. We would highly recommend his services!"

Alexsandyr Lavery, San Mateo, CA

"What a great day in the Napa Valley! Perata Luxury Car Services made the day seemless. We came up to attend the Silver Oak release party, and were referred to Perata Luxury Car Sevices by our good friend at Reynold's Winery.

Good call! We are already planning our next visit to the Wine Country and Nick will definitely be a part of that!

Who would have thought we'd meet the owner of Plumpjack and his daughter and experience barrel tasting with them of their estate cabernet! Thanks for a great time Nick!"

Andrew Eilers & Doug Lindley, Granite Bay, CA

"We chose Perata Luxury Car Service for our "Ladies Who Wine" weekend in Napa which was absolutely fabulous! Nick's first class, service with a smile attitude made the trip one of a kind. He tailored the entire day around what we wanted to experience including family and boutique wineries, off the beaten path, where only the locals know. Spoiler Alert! Nick's new Suburban LTZ is luxurious and not one detail was overlooked. Not to mention, the unique cheese and chocolate trays were a huge hit with us gals! Nick kept all five of us on schedule without making us feel rushed. Thanks to PLCS we have decided to make Napa Valley our annual girls trip with hopes that Nick will be our fearless leader."

Michelle Dybala, Chicago, IL

"After the weeekend experience...I put my name to this service and highly recommend it if you visit the Napa Valley. There is no other way to experience Napa than like this!"
