Discover Napa Valley with Trusted Guidance and Curated Experiences

 become a Napa insider

 Hinsley Circle is a private membership and travel‑planning service that aligns your travel goals with thoughtful itineraries, curated wine discovery, transportation recommendations, hotel suggestions, restaurant bookings, and hosted experiences throughout Napa Valley.

WHY hinsley circle

wine is about the people

​​​While hosting guests over the past decade, Tyler would ask "how is your trip to Napa so far?" and he would often hear about the disappointing experiences people had. 

​

Tyler believes there are far too many incredible people, wines, and places in Napa Valley for anyone to leave feeling disappointed. He quickly found himself assisting travelers in planning their dream Napa trips because he genuinely wanted to see everyone have an exceptional time in the Valley.​

 

Tyler and Emily Hinlsey launched Hinsley Circle as the official platform to guide you through the Napa Valley. The Private Membership connects you to the right wineries, the right people, and the right wines through personalized itineraries and recommendations designed just for you.​​

​

In addition, Hinsley Circle Members enjoy a portal that provides a space for participating in our enriching wine community. Wine has the beautiful ability to cultivate human connection, a belief that is at the core of Hinsley Circle.

​

The Hinsley Circle Membership is for those who want a deeper connection to the Napa Valley, want to expand their wine knowledge, and enjoy being connected to a global wine community.

AMAZING, KNOWLEDGEABLE, & KIND!  These are the words that come top of mind when thinking about Tyler and Emily, but I can assure you, whatever I express in words, it’s not enough!  We met Tyler and Emily when they took a trip to NJ and were introduced to them through a mutual friend. They immediately expressed both in words and actions, “ask me anything about wine, Napa/Sonoma” and since we had an upcoming trip planned, we eagerly made a connection with them.  It was immediately clear through their combined passion for wine (and each other) that they have accumulated a wealth of knowledge to share and truly love doing so.

 

Our trip was a literal blank slate other than the dates we were visiting and Tyler and Emily, after asking and listening to our preferences, put together the perfect itinerary from recommending/booking wine tastings, transportation around wine country, and where to eat. I am not exaggerating when I say that not one of their recommendations was a disappointment.

 

I feel that you can also judge a person by how other people feel about them and I can say without hesitation that throughout our trip, when we shared that we were referred by Tyler and Emily, their eyes lit up and a smile showed on their face, they too had nothing but great things to say. I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation to Tyler and Emily enough for making our trip a complete success!

Bernadette & Rich T.
