Our Greeting & entertaining Talks come from our book 'Wine Country in Shorts, the Stories of Napa and Sonoma'

Our stories about the local history are perfect for greeting large conferences and entertaining small groups. Some of our talks provide fascinating, and instructive insights into the very successful wine industry. Our motivational speech is about the mix of vision, hard work and luck that led to Napa's wines ranking so well in the famous Judgement of Paris. which changed the region forever!

Our Other Books

Our talks on supercharged business ergonomics dramatically improve audience skills. Our interactive talk, ‘5 Steps to a Great Home Office’ is especially popular in today’s remote working world. We produce local documentaries and commercial videos and know the best Wine Country locations which will work for your project and budget. We originally were working on a book about winery buildings because we had written three books on Feng Shui and thought it would be a fun addition. Ralph got a part time job driving wine tours as way to research the book. After about six months we realized there were no good wine tour books. So, the building book morphed into our first tour book, and now seven editions later we produce there versions. It’s been fun! And yes, Ralph is still touring with clients with our company Amicis Tours!
We produce the region’s top selling wine tour books, as well others on ergonomics, and of course wine, which we can customize as gifts for your group.

Wine Country Videography

We realized that our years as speakers and consultants made us very good interviewers, so our commecial videos focus on helping people tell their stories. Sometimes it is about their business, their passion, their art or their vision. Getting people to relax and share is the key. We typically ask them a series of questions to help them create a cohesive narrative, and then we edit out voices, so what remains is the subjects graceful and knowledgeable ideas.
We are multi-lingual tour guides. As authors of numerous books about wine country, and being premium tour guides since 2005, we have an extraordinary knowledge about the region and the wine industry. It makes us favorite guides, organizers and facilitators for visiting winemakers, media and film crews.
