About the Operator

Sonoma Sterling Limousines opened in 2006 when Daniel and Moira Bessette, both Santa Rosa natives, set out to build a luxury transportation company with their hometown's name on the door. Almost two decades later, the family operation runs 25+ vehicles and 35 employees from headquarters at 29 Maxwell Court — sedans, SUVs, stretch limousines, Mercedes Sprinter vans, executive shuttle buses, and a roster of party buses including the Tiffany Premier (capacity 24) with wraparound leather and color-changing light show. CA PUC TCP #20374-A. BBB A+ rating.

The Fleet

Over 25 vehicles configured for celebration as much as logistics — luxury sedans, SUVs, stretch limousines, Mercedes Sprinter vans, executive shuttle buses, and party buses including the Tiffany Premier (capacity 24) with wraparound leather and color-changing light show. Liquid Springs suspension on larger party buses for smooth wine country roads.

Sterling's reputation is built on two things: a deep wedding and event practice, and the most consistent five-star ratings in the Northern Bay limo category. The company has earned multiple American Excellence in Business Awards, runs a dedicated Wedding Specialist desk, and has SPAB-certified drivers on its larger shuttle buses — the credential needed for school and group transportation work. The fleet is configured for celebration as much as logistics: Liquid Springs suspension on the larger party buses for smooth wine country roads, Bluetooth audio, and complimentary chilled water in every vehicle. Sterling specializes in Healdsburg, Sonoma, and Napa wine tours but covers the entire North Bay and beyond.
