Now in its sixth year, California Passport Tours is the brainchild of Ana Lelescu who in 1992, fled Romania to find a life of freedom in America. With her master’s degree in computer science, Lelescu quickly pursued a successful career in high-tech. On her days off, Lelescu enjoyed weekend getaways throughout the Bay Area—including our local wineries. Lelescu thought, “Why not share the joy I find while visiting these beautiful locales with other like-minded people?” And so a new business was born.
A long-time resident of Morgan Hill, Lelescu works closely with our local wineries by offering unique, personalized experiences for both private and corporate groups. Riders enjoy the comforts of a Mercedes minibus, with climate control and WiFi—while leaving the driving to someone else. Chauffeurs are licensed and bonded and provide professional, first-class service.
With a variety of packages, including custom tours—there is something for everyone. One of my favorite times was joining a group of wine lovers to attend Fall Passport—with California Passport taking us to five wineries along the Wine Trail. Free from the responsibilities of driving, we enjoyed a relaxing day of great wine and friendship.
