"Nick Perata, personal chauffeur, was the best guide we could have had for our day in wine country. Nick is very knowledgeable and has the perfect personality for his profession. If you want a remarkable, can't be missed day in the Napa or Sonoma Valley Nick has the inside scoop on all the smaller boutique wineries. We could not have found the wonderful wineries or wine makers we met that day without Nick. Thank you for an amazing unforgettable experience."

"I recently enjoyed a tour of small production wineries in Napa and used this local Napa transportation service - a member of the Concierge Alliance of Napa Valley - Nick Perata of Perata Luxury Car Services. I found Nick to be a charming, polished professional with a spotless Mercedes R Class SUV. His SUV sits four comfortably and he has a detachable enclosed roof rack if the guests have luggage. His rates are very competitive ~ $75 per hour with no hidden fees. He is a welcome newcomer to the business. His excitement for his new career was evident. He could be an option for inexpensive one-way transport to/from Napa. He has amenities in his vehicle such as still and sparkling water, crackers, cheeses and chocolates! I look forward to recommending his services for my guests."

"Nick Perata of Perata Luxury Car Services out of Napa is absolutely amazing at what he does. Not only will he come pick up in San Francisco free of charge, but his price is fantastic, his knowledge quite expansive and his vehicle incredibly comfortable. Rather than renting a car, trying to find those hard to find wineries, and then worrying about how much wine to taste, Perata Luxury Car Services is definitely the route to go. Sit back, enjoy all the wine tastings you can manage, learn information about Napa Valley and be comfortable. It's a wonderful way to experience the Napa Valley and have an incredible time. My experience with Perata Luxury Car Services was superb and I would recommend Nick to everyone I know heading up to The Wine Country."

"On short notice, my husband and I contacted Nick to arrange a wine tasting itinerary for New Years Day, which is our anniversary. Unbeknownst to us, most wineries were closed on the First. Nick not only managed to arrange for a wonderful day of private tastings, but he also arranged for acknowledgements of our "special day" at our various stops. Nick was thoughtful, courteous, knowledgeable and enjoyable, not to mention his vehicle was great (immaculate, stylish and very comfortable). We will not hesitate to contact Perata Luxury Car Services again the next time we are planning a trip to the Napa area."
January, 2010
"Nick Perata gave us a tour of Napa Valley. He lives in the area and therefore knows it well. I was very impressed with the following: his car was very nice, clean and comfortable, he provided water and snacks, he told us a lot about the area and the wine business as we drove along, he tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted to do, he was flexable, and as our idea of what we wanted to do changed, he changed our itinerary, his fee was reasonable, he's a very nice man and gave us our space when he felt it was appropriate, he knew the winery owners and had a rapport with them. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect tour of Napa and tour guide!"

"We had a great time and we will highly recommend your services to our friends and other wine suppliers that have wineries in the valley and those that frequent the Valley - You guys were great and was very
knowledgeable about the valley "haps" and the car you recommended was
perfect (and the surprise snacks were perfect too). Thanks for putting
my mind at ease with the driving situation...I owe you a drink if you
make it out this way (to Denver), or I will plan to see next time I am
in the Valley."

"Hiring Nick was the best thing we could have done for our trip. If you are on the fence about hiring a driver and which one to hire-
definitely get one and definitely go with Perata Luxury Car Services! He made our wine-tasting trip effortless and relaxed. He was professional, early to pick us up, he set up appointments, called wineries when we were running late, and coordinated timing with
everything. He is knowledgeable about the area and to top it off - he's a really nice guy! If you are planning a day of wine tasting in
Napa or Sonoma- you are in good hands with Nick!"
-Lauren Lusk, New York, NY

"I truly would have to say that using Perata Luxury Car Services for our trip in Napa was the best decision we could have made. The trip was catered and customized just for us - Nick had spent time researching and organizing an itinerary for us based on our input and
personalities prior to us arriving. He was able to get us into private tastings at vineyards we would not have known if it weren't for him. He has personal relationships with owners which allowed for intimate tastings for our group. We were a group of two couples and rode in his SUV which had more than enough room for four. Nick's knowledge of the valley as well warm attitude made it perfect for us, first-timers in Napa. Snacks awaiting us in the car between vineyards was a very nice perk as well! I can't stress enough that you must book with Nick for a truly unforgettable experience in Napa. We already anticipate returning next year to see what Nick will book for us next!"

"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 Suburban LTZ 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."
- Bill and Martha Anne Woodson, Tustin, CA

"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 Suburban LTZ...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!"

"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!"
- David Lorenc, Oakland, CA
April, 2010"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."

"We all very much enjoyed your tour with Perata Luxury Car Services.

"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
March, 2010"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."
- Orcun Akca, Seattle, WA

"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's service is truly a Luxury Car Service. Nick 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

- Steph 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!"

February, 2010
"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 Suburban LTZ - 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 4 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

"What a great day in the Napa Valley! Nick Perata's Chauffeuring 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!"

"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."

"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!"
- Christopher Ortiz, Rancho Cordova, CA
"Great Experience! Nick picked us up from a friends aptartment in Vacaville and since he lives in Napa he knew the best places to go. He picked us up in a beautiful Mercedes Benz SUV and took us around town. He tailored our trip based on the types of wines we liked and whether we wanted to go to smaller more quaint wineries or the bigger ones. He offered suggestions and it was up to us if we wanted to follow through with them and he did not disappoint. He was flexible and tailored to our every need. The fee was very reasonable and since he had a rapport with the places we went we were treated with behind the scenes tours and got to taste up and coming wines right from the barrel! He greatly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Perata Luxury Car Services!"
- Joe C., Orlando, FL
"Nick was great! He took us to places we would not have known about or found ourselves and he was a true pleasure to spend the day with."
- JLo 1969, Ann Arbor, Michigan, From Trip Advisor.com
"Nick was an execellent guide, the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. His winery recommendations were exactly what we were looking for and he paced the day so that we had enough time at each winery while not feeling rushed. His connections really helped to make our day special and memorable. The trip to Fontanella was not on our original plan, but he highly recommended them and we were not disappointed. Thanks Nick for a fantastic day!"
-
"Kent is far away the best driver and tour guide we have ever had. The level of service the he provided is over the top, but it's done in such a way that you are having a friend drive you around. Kent thought of things that were not even on our itinerary and made for a wonderful day. He even offered to drive us to dinner and pick us up for the same price a tax would charge. No other company that i have dealt with would offer this. There are no surprise fees such as charging you for the car to arrive and depart your pickup\dropoff location. Believe me most car services charge you for EVERYTHING!! These guys do it right and will make your time in the wine country even better!"
-
"The day was amazing!! I met Kent at a winery event and he is just a gentle, gracious, and helpful man! Kent has been helping me set up fairly last minute tour for a large wedding party group on a holiday weekend. His network is very large and we have options that would not have been available to us without his assistance. He is just a really great guy who I believe will become a new friend. I would highly recommend Kent as I know he will put his heart into providing you a best experience.
-
"You a great tour guide!!!! We love visiting with you in Napa! You are so much fun, have a GREAT personality and know all the best places to enjoy wine!!!" We LOVE you in Texas and in Jackson, Wyoming!!!!
-
"We had such a fantastic time with our E-Auction lot winners on Sunday! Dinner was fantastic, the company so enjoyable. AND our winners got here and back safely and in style with Perata Luxury Car Services. Many thanks to you and Kent Higginbotham for being the perfect guide!"
-
"I just want you to know how we all appreciated your fantastic services! The SUV was so plush and comfortable for the 6 of us. Kent was a wealth of information and took us to some hidden wineries that were real gems to visit. The tours and tastings were personable and lots of fun. Kent took pictures of our day trip so we're all in the pictures. He was so helpful and wanted to make sure we were comfortable and always took the extra steps to make sure our day was FUN-tastic! I will recommend Perata Luxury Car
Services to all my friends."
-
"Kent is the best thing to happen to wine tours since...well the creation of wine tours. His knowledge of wine and its history was equal to only that of a winery owner (and probably even better). The snacks and water he provided in between the winery visits were instrumental in getting us thru the 9 hour day. I would recommend Kent and his business partner to any and everyone. In closing, if you think being attacked by a shark sounds horrible then I promise you will love a wine tour by Kent"
-
Don't use the big chains. Nick is the owner and operator and takes pride in his work. He had an impeccable car, was very easy-going, very professional, and his little perks go a long way. We would recommend 100%.
-
My husband and I have been wanting to get to Napa for 15 years! Finally we got the opportunity to go and our experience was perfectly orchestrated by Nick and Kent with Peralta Luxury. We wanted a first class experience with more intimate tastings at more exclusive wineries and that is exactly what we got with Kent taking charge so we could just enjoy ourselves. We felt totally taken care of with Kent helping us make dinner reservations at a wonderful little restaurant AND he even got us situated with a shipping box to get all of our wine home, stopping by our hotel and bringing it to our room. He continued to go above and beyond what I would have expected. I can not recommend Nick and Kent with Peralta....Tours highly enough!
-
"We recently went to a wedding in San Fran over the 4th of July weekend and wanted to do a chauffered tour of Napa. After reading many reviews of different companies, we booked with Nick b/c he had the best price and the best reviews. And, to say the least, it was AWESOME!! Kent actually ended up being our driver and we could not have asked for a better person to lead our group of pretty non-educated wine drinkers around Napa (and even stopped in Sonoma County on the way home). Kent took us wherever we pleased and we did have an established itinerary as well. At one point I asked him if there was a good winery that might have some more whites to taste as my girlfriends are more white-drinkers and Kent made a stop AT HIS OWN HOUSE to give us a bottle of white that he distributes. How great is that?!? I would recommend Perata to anyone - experienced wine lovers, wine virgins, beer drinkers, average Joe's - whomever you are you need to explore Napa and Sonoma with Nick and Kent! Thank you for being the highlight of our time in San Francisco!"
-
"Touring with Nick for two days in a row was the best choice we could have ever made - His service was the most professional yet most personal experience you could ask for. He is more than flexible with all of your plans Here are the top 3 reasons to work with Perata Luxury Car -
Reason #1 - Nick is the best possible navigator of the valley - he took us to anywhere we wanted but quickly we realized that he had connections and suggestions that made our days unforgettable. In many cases we sat with winemakers/owners and tasted their wines and visited places normally a first timer wouldn't visit. We were welcomed at many locations like friends and family would be because of Nick's presence.
Reason #2 - There is no other way to tour - we had both the Chevy LTZ SUV and the Mercedes MPV they were perfect and the only way to go. Who wants to drive around in a Black Town Car and wait in lines behind dozens of people? The vehicles were well appointed and always stocked with waters and great in between treats that other's don't provide. The vehicles themselves are immaculate and a luxury experience in themselves.
Reason #3 - In our opinion you can't truly visiting this area without having private transportation and especially like this. Nick brings the valley to you on a personal level, and when we left we felt like we should have booked him for all 4 days we were there."
-
"We were in Napa for 5 days for our honeymoon and had the pleasure of spending one and a half days with Nick as our driver. He knew a lot of smaller wineries that we would never have found on our own or on a group tour. He called ahead to get us appointments which was an added bonus. He had the car stocked with little treats and waters to keep us going all day. I would recommend him anytime for a great experience in Napa/Sonoma!"
-
"I visited Napa Valley in June 2010 and was referred to Nick from another tour service. I could not be happier with my experience. Nick took us to all of the wineries we wanted to visit, set up private tours of wineries that we did not know about, and recommended a great spot for lunch. Five star service."
-
Thanks! Nick
"I wanted to do something really special for my boyfriends 29th birthday in July and started researching different options for a Napa getaway. I must have called dozens of hotels, car services, tour guides and travel agencies and none of them were really what I wanted. They all seemed very impersonal with pre-packaged,inflexible itineraries that would have stuck us with a bunch of random strangers for the whole day. My boyfriend has very specific tastes and I wanted our trip to be absolutely perfect with every detail thoughtfully planned out."
I found Perata Luxury Car Services through the Napa Chamber of Commerce website and was really impressed at how quickly Nick personally responded to my inquiry.
He was charming, personable, understanding, detail oriented and thoughtful as he developed a unique itinerary just for the two of us. (Definitely take his suggestions for local restaurants - we ended up having Sunday brunch at the Boon Fly Cafe and I seriously thought I had died and gone to Eggs Benedict heaven!)
On the day of our tour, Nick arrived perfectly on schedule and my boyfriend was absolutely thrilled with the Mercedes Benz. The wineries we visited were exceptional - definitely check out Failla and Fontanella when you go - and Nick was a wonderful guide for the day. We plan to make many future visits to the area and will only use Perata Luxury Car Services. I can't imagine anyone providing better quality service and I've already referred him to many of my family and closest friends!"
- Dianna Eckhardt?, Santa Cruz, CA
"We recently completed our wine tour with Perata Luxury Car Service in Napa, and it truly was a FANTASTIC experience. Everything from the quality of cars (Mercedes SUV), to the level of knowledge/connections of vineyards in the area, to the easy going personality of Nick was top notch. You will not be disappointed in choosing Perata Luxury Car Services, trust me! I purposely signed up for Trip Advisor just so I can communicate this message. Nick and company are the real deal, check them out if you are doing a vacation in Napa."
- Ramsey Ramadan, Philadelphia, PA
"We did an afternoon-early evening tour to Napa Valley and got the best possible solution with a chauffeur-driven SUV out of downtown San Francisco. After a wonderful wine tasting stop a dinner table was reserved for us at an Italian restaurant in Napa. By 9:30 pm we were back at our hotel in San Francisco. A lot of sunshine, a driver with a lot of knowledge and a wonderful dinner may this trip the perfect choice for a break during a hard convention week. Thank you Nick and Perata Luxury Car Services!"
- Bruno Kaufmann, Marburg, Germany
"Many of us has experienced drivers that are worn out, burned out or hung over. Not in this case at all. Nick Perata, made our afternoon of wine tasting a magnificent affair enjoying his knowledge, passion and personal relationships with all of the wineries we attended. Made our trip truly memorable. Thanks Nick."
- Morgan, Mountain View, CA (from Trip Advisor.com)
"This was a great day in the valley. My husband and I live here in Napa and called PLCS on a suggestion from a co-worker. Wow.. We had fun! Headed out with four of us gals for a day of wine tasting. Had a
couple girlfriends in town visiting so we decided to live it up and get a chauffeur. We usually just drive and one of us will not drink at every stop, but since we hadn't had much time together in the past year, we wanted to really throw caution to the wind. With Nick as our chauffeur, we did exactly that. Enjoyed laughing and chatting the whole entire day without the hassle of choosing the wineries, route to travel and place to eat! Nick planned the entire day at our request, and each place he selected was great!
We didn't have to worry about where to go, and since two of us gals live here, we don't really want to hit the same old wineries that we usually visit with large crowds, same old wines that we see everywhere and more times than not, unfriendly staff.
Nick planned the itinerary for us, suggesting some great off the beaten path wineries. Talk about some gorgeous properties we visited. I saw views of the valley that I have never seen in my ten years living here in the valley. Met with a winemaker at one vineyard in East Napa Valley for almost two hours. Enjoying her wines, and chatting about the amazing place she calls home and the great wines she makes.
Trust me when I say, its well worth the money to hire a guy that's in the know. PLCS suggested four great wineries and a fun lunch stop along the way, that we didn't even know existed. I plan on taking my husband back there next weekend for his birthday!
The cost of doing something like this is nothing when you split it between friends, and the enjoyment we got from not having to drive, watch how much wine we consumed, and being able to chat and catch up while Nick handled the driving was priceless!
He also took some great photos of us throughout the day with his great camera and emailed us gals a couple days later with the pics. Of course we were going to rely on our camera phones, which is ok in a pinch, but he had a professional style camera that took amazing quality pics! Free of charge too! I'm framing one of the pics he took of us I love it so much!
The added services and extras that PLCS threw at up all day long made it that much more enjoyable!
Give them a try next time you want to have a relaxed absolutely FUN day in the Napa valley.They do Sonoma too. I think I'm going to book them again in October for us and another couple to do the Russian River valley and Alexander valley!"
