Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are two brothers, John Paul and Steven Frank Arrambide who own and operate the business Napa Valley G Experience (the G stands for Gangster). We are partnered with numerous boutique wineries in the Southern half of the Valley, where our guests are hosted by the owners/winemakers/gangsters of each entity. Our experience includes a vehicle & driver, three tastings with our fabulous partnered wineries and a lunch.

How we came about ~ In 2014, Johnny finished flipping a home and put it on the MLS market and within a week, Napa experienced the devastating earthquake. His home had tons of damages.  Forcing him to figure out how he was going to get funding to fix the home again. During that time, Airbnb became very popular so John had the bright idea of going to visit his neighbors down the street at the City of Napa to request a permit for short term rentals. He was the first person to request this permit and was eventually granted the license!  As you all may know, the City put a cap on short term vacation rentals and so his license is 1 of 40 "Hosted" Bnb's at his property on First St!   

A few years had passed and our BNB was doing great.  We were meeting people from all walks of our amazing planet. Sharing stories about us growing up here in the Valley and learning so much about the world by being truly hospitable people, we found ourselves setting up our guests winery tours. Typically we would send them to our friends wineries, ones that they would have never heard of, if it wasn't for the local suggestions! 

In 2017, Napa experienced the fires that destroyed a ton of properties, including numerous cell phone towers.  As the smoke cleared our new guests would Uber from the BnB to a winery that was off the beaten path,  guests would then call us from the properties land lines requesting us to pick them up from being stranded in their own vehicle, which were parked in front of the BnB.  Over and over again, we would get the call because Uber would not work due to cell phone reception. This was the inception of our "Designated Driver" service provided by yours truly ~ Napa Valley G Experience! We didn't have the money to buy a luxury vehicle so we searched long and hard for an insurance company that would grant us insurance to drive people's vehicles for commercial use (including rental vehicles)! This year, Napa Valley G Experience grew into getting a TCP License and purchased a small fleet of vehicles including a 1999 Lincoln Town car Limo (seats 8) and a 2022 Suburban Premier (seats 6).

Our guests get to experience visiting wineries that are hosted by true gangster's of this Valley. Small, family owned and operated wineries that you will never hear of if it wasn't for us two local boys. We can say that we work and live in hospitality. We would love to extend our unique, boutique, and private experiences to our guests.
