Tips / Destination

Napa Valley, a prime destination with natural beauty, is famous worldwide for its wine. With more than 400 stellar wine producers in the valley alone, how does one narrow down the cream of the crop? While some may enjoy renowned wineries, others prefer the hidden gems. Good wine is good wine; however, the winery experience ultimately leaves guests planning their return.

 

Full-bodied Cabernets and buttery Chardonnays are just a few of the dozens presented by the wineries in Napa Valley. A winery is never too far away.

 

Here are a few of our recommendations and tips for wineries in Napa Valley.

 

Find out what you enjoy. Do you enjoy a creamy white or sparkling wine or do you prefer an oaky red?

 

Decide what you want out of the winery. Are you interested in touring one of the oldest producers in the valley? If so, check out Beaulieu Vineyard, which offers tours of the original winery building dating back to 1885. Are you interested in tastings, tours, educational experiences and food pairings? Cakebread has it all. If you have no specific agenda, you can plan your tours by location, travel along the corridors of St. Helena Hwy 29 and Silverado Trail Hwy 121.

 

Plan to stay at a vineyard hotel. Many vineyards offer luxurious rooms and accommodations, perfect for a weekend getaway. Visit Napa Valley Wineries, as you can narrow your search by location, tours or tastings, view recommended wineries and much more.
