Bin 415 Wine Tastings & Private Tours - San Francisco, California

Grace Marquez

Was very happy to have gotten a private tasting here on my little trip. Bin 415 is in the luxurious Fairmont hotel just right around the corner from the front desk. Kelly was so cool to have me set up a reservation on short notice and was an awesome host. I'm pretty new to this whole wine thing but he has a great way of explaining things easily and with his own entertaining twist and I learned and retained a lot of info. There are about 3 different flights and I had him customize mine and walk me through it, mainly specializing in red wine from Napa and Sonoma etc. The tr was a very relaxing lounge setting with awesome artwork from Jeremy Fish also that's a plus but I will happily come back and hope to get another personalized private tasting!

It was a fantastic tour of Napa focusing on mountain wines but with a thorough walk through (and drive around) of the valley as well. In between, we had a fantastic lunch at The Brasswood Bar and Grill with Kelly who even knew off menu items, amazing! The wineries had beautiful wine and architecture and the estate hosts were very welcoming. If you have kids/young children, Kelly was patient and very accommodating with our 5 year old daughter too!

We will be back, thanks for a wonderful day!

Mike and Paige are the best!! Everything was custom tailored to our wine tastes and preferences. The winery visits included personal tours of the wine caves and wonderful conversations about the wines and history of the vineyards. So delicious and beautiful! Lunch was awesome and Paige is amazing to hang out with and talk to during our ride. It was a special treat!! And bonus! Mike arranged wineries that were also dog friendly so we got to bring our beloved basset hound to enjoy the trip and scenery with us. <3 Thank you so much!! Truly one of the best birthdays ever :)

I don’t know where to begin. I absolutely loved this experience. Our tasting guide was beyond knowledgeable and welcoming. It was such an intimate experience and the wines were divine. Truly a gem inside the Fairmont hotel. If you love wine, do yourself a favor and stop in. Do keep in mind that this experience is a bit more expensive and the value is up to your discretion, however, as someone who loves wine the price was not a deterrent for us.

This was an absolutely wonderful experience, Kelly was the best!! If you want your trip to be special have Kelly guide your tour. We did the day before on our own and though it was nice, there was a night and day difference with Bin 415. It truly was a personal VIP experience. Not only were the the wineries chosen beautiful and of fantastic quality Kelly’s knowledge of the region and everything wine was incredible. His warm personality and sense of humor made this a fantastic experience for everyone.

Kelly from Bin 415 created the perfect bespoke itinerary for our 2-day tasting tour. After learning our preferences, he arranged all the bookings. Transportation was comfortable and having Kelly's expertise added tremendous benefit to the experience. With Kelly and Bin 415 doing all the work, all we had to do was enjoy ourselves! Book with confidence.

Our recent wine tour in Bordeaux with Bin 415 was nothing short of spectacular. Traveling with a group of eight individuals, each with varying levels of wine knowledge, posed a unique challenge. However, the Micheal executed it with remarkable attention to detail and a nimbleness that ensured every member of our high-maintenance group was catered to perfectly. Extra bonus points for navigating these challenges outside of his home turf of Napa Valley!

From the outset, the organization of our itinerary was impeccable. The team showed exceptional flexibility in accommodating our different schedules and preferences, making the tour feel personalized and stress-free. This level of bespoke service is rare and greatly appreciated, especially when managing a diverse group.

Our journey through the Medoc, Saint Emilion, and Sauternes was truly a bucket-list experience. Each stop offered a unique glimpse into the rich wine heritage of Bordeaux, enhancing our appreciation for the region's famed vineyards and wineries.

One of the standout aspects of the tour was the opportunity to try highly sought-after wines through the Diva négociant team. Their expertise and connections provided us with exclusive access to some of the finest wines, making the tasting sessions extraordinarily special. This highlight set the tour apart from any other wine experiences we have had.

Overall, this wine tour was an educational and unforgettable experience, expertly crafted to meet the high expectations of a diverse group from different regions of Africa. The attention to detail, flexibility, and exclusive wine tastings made it an exceptional journey through one of the world's premier wine regions. If you're looking to tick off a bucket-list wine tour, Bordeaux with Bin 415 is the way to go.
