Impossible Wine Tours
What Makes These Tours "Impossible"
Exclusive winery access for collectors, connoisseurs, and those in the know.
Our Impossible Wine Tours offer access to wineries not open to the general public hidden gems known for their limited production, private tastings, and elite-level wines. These are ideal for serious collectors and those who want the most exclusive experiences in Napa and Sonoma.
As industry insiders, we unlock opportunities typically available only to mailing list members, wine club insiders, and close friends of the winery. Meet winemakers, taste in private homes, and explore cellars few people ever see.
Williams Selyem – Russian River Pinot Royalty
Williams Selyem is the gold standard in Russian River Pinot Noir. Tastings and tours are only offered to active list members access is typically granted after a 1–2 year waitlist. But through our special connection (our founder is a former employee), guests can experience this private, magical tasting complementary and immediate. You’ll enjoy single-vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel from one of the most storied names in California wine.

Bob Cabral Wines
https://www.bobcabralwines.com/
Bob’s 46-year career, including his former tenure as winemaker at Williams Selyem and Three Sticks prior to founding Bob Cabral Wines.
Inside the Backstage Lounge, guests are welcomed into a space that feels like Bob’s personal living room, surrounded by iconic rock memorabilia from legends such as Sammy Hagar, Journey, Night Ranger, and Foreigner. It’s where fine wine meets classic rock. Intimate, immersive, and entirely independent. We have a personal relationship with Bob and he often attends the tastings and adds lots of color and fun to the experience.
Rivers Marie
Rivers-Marie is an “if you know, you know” stop—small, appointment-only, and all about vineyard-driven wines that taste like a place and a vintage, not a generic house style. It’s the personal label of Thomas Rivers Brown and Genevieve Marie Welsh, with a focused lineup of Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay—the kind of wines that pull in both serious collectors and guests who just want something truly special and memorable.
We have a special relationship with them and are able to secure private tastings that are generally sold out months in advance.
Boyd Family Vineyards Napa Valley, No Pretension
Tucked away in Oak Knoll, Boyd is a family-owned gem producing Bordeaux-style wines in extremely small lots. There is no public tasting room you’ll be welcomed by the winemakers themselves on their back deck, overlooking the vines. The experience is intimate, honest, and deeply personal. The wines are rich, balanced, and reflect their commitment to old-school Napa quality without the hype.
