"It's been a long time coming after being severely slowed down in 2020 from our expansion plans," he said. "We are back and ready to offer something extraordinary in Napa, from our full-service concierge tours to our social tasting experiences. I'm really excited to finally have the cable cars refurbished and back where they belong. So, now people don't have to ride on replica trolleys or go to San Francisco to experience what I believe to be the only way to ride around in wine country: on an open-air historic moving monument that allows you to take in the beauty and nostalgia that is cable cars and Napa Valley."
According to Broach, the company presents an immersive and interactive approach to wine tasting. Tours on board the cable cars can cater to almost any group size or type. The plan is to operate Thursdays through Mondays while corporate groups and private parties can book their cable car any day.
