Concerts at the Mountain Winery and Montalvo, weddings at the garden venues, and winery days in the foothills, with a chauffeur who knows the hill roads.
Saratoga sits at the foot of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and much of what brings people here is up the hill: summer concerts at the Mountain Winery and Montalvo Arts Center, weddings and receptions at Hakone Gardens and the town's other garden and estate venues, and tasting rooms at the foothill wineries. The village on Big Basin Way adds dinners and a short walk of shops and galleries.
Those trips share a problem: narrow, winding roads, limited parking at the top, and a long line of cars leaving at once. That is why most Saratoga bookings are hourly. Your chauffeur drops you at the entrance, waits at a planned pickup point, and drives the hill road home while you sit in the back.
Hourly and point-to-point rates are base rates; 20% gratuity, 10% fuel surcharge and 4% tax are added. Every total is confirmed before you book. See full pricing

Summer concerts at the Mountain Winery mean a long climb on a narrow road, limited parking near the top and a slow exit after the encore. With a chauffeur you are dropped where the venue allows cars to stop, and your chauffeur waits in whatever arrangement the venue permits, texting you their position as the show ends. The same works for Montalvo's garden concerts. Book hourly so the car stays with you for the evening; for a group, a Sprinter keeps everyone together.
Saratoga's garden and estate venues are some of the most photographed wedding settings in the South Bay, and many have tight access and limited parking. We can move the couple and wedding party from the getting-ready location to the ceremony and on to photos, and shuttle guests from a hotel or a parking area so nobody is late. See wedding transportation for how we plan the day.
The Santa Cruz Mountains wine region starts right above Saratoga, and a tasting afternoon is an easy half-day from anywhere in the South Bay. Your chauffeur plans the order of stops, waits while you taste, and carries any bottles. For a full day, the same car can go on to Los Gatos for dinner.
Saratoga residents also book by the hour for appointments, errands and visiting guests, and flat-rate transfers to SJC, about 20 to 35 minutes away, or SFO.
