Napa Valley Gondola

About Napa Valley Gondola

Napa Valley Gondola offers authentic Venetian gondola rides on the Napa River in downtown Napa. Visitors board handcrafted Venetian gondolas for private cruises along the river, where gondoliers row passengers while sharing stories about the river's significance and gondola history. Each gondola accommodates up to six passengers of any age. During rides, gondoliers perform Italian music and provide commentary that creates a unique experience for each group. The venue offers several cruise options, including the Wine-Makers Cruise, a private tasting experience led by local winemakers from aboard the gondola, and the Casanova tour, which travels upriver to the Oxbow Preserve. Visitors can bring their own wine and cups, which gondoliers will open, and blankets are provided during cooler conditions. The peaceful journey combines views of the riverwalk with the gentle sway of the gondola, creating an intimate experience on the water in Napa, California.
