Testimonials

“Kelly’s introduced us to new wineries that we definitely wouldn’t have found on our own if we tried to put the trip together… It goes toward the experiences that she provides.”

“I’ve been coming to Napa Valley since 1995 but had the most extraordinary week of my life in Napa Valley when Kelly Carter and Napa Valley Noir created my five day trip. From start to finish, the entire trip was a testament to first class service, taste and sophistication thanks to the exceptional talents of Kelly, the best concierge I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

Kelly arranged everything down to the finest detail. Each day was perfectly structured yet felt effortlessly enjoyable, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the beauty and luxury of the region. Her selection of exclusive wineries was nothing short of spectacular, and her insider knowledge and connections provided access to experiences that were truly extraordinary. My transportation was not only luxurious but seamless and stress-free.

The highlight of my trip was attending the prestigious and highly exclusive Napa Valley Barrel Auction 2024. This once-in-a-lifetime experience, arranged flawlessly by Kelly, was beyond anything I could have imagined. Mingling with winery proprietors and winemakers, I was honored to meet the very people who crafted the exceptional wines I tasted directly from the barrel. This is an event that every wine lover should attend at least once in a lifetime, and it will be a cherished memory forever.

I will never forget my week in Napa Valley, thanks to the extraordinary efforts of Kelly Carter and Napa Valley Noir.”

“Over the years, I have made many visits to Napa where I visited some great wineries and had some memorable experiences. That said, a lot changed with my very first engagement with Kelly Carter and during the several times since.

I have now seen a side of Napa I didn’t know existed and is only accessible to people like Kelly as an industry insider. Whether meeting winery owners and winemakers, gaining access to barrel samples and library wines or exploring small, boutique wineries that are tucked away on the Vaca or Mayacamas ranges, the scope of Kelly’s reach is almost beyond comprehension. Kelly is the real deal and uniquely suited to curate Napa Valley visits that are in a word beyond.
There are few people I know who are more pleasant, knowledgeable and compelling to be with during a three to five-day Napa visit.”
