Napa Wine Tasting -The Utimate Experience

Traveling to the Napa Valley for a holiday weekend of Napa wine tasting could be impressive. There are virtually hundreds of wineries & vineyards in this historic wine growing region. There are stunning landscapes in nearly every direction and wonderfully landscaped estate vineyards to check out.

The key to a great Napa wine tasting holiday is to prepare and seek information. If you are one of those that do not want to drive you might want to consider a group tour. If you happen to wish to take the time to observe the region on your own and do some shopping you may wish to get yourself a map of all the vineyards and rent a car. We discovered the best prices can often be found in Calistoga or Napa Valley wineries.

When it is your first time touring the Napa Valley you might want to consider the Napa Wine Train. It’s a great experience that allows you to taste many vintages and observe the countryside while sitting comfortably aboard this historical train. You can even enjoy a plate of appetizers that may include local fruits and cheeses, a tasty lunch or a fine dinner.

You might be arranging a really romantic retreat and would like to head to the region and enjoy some Napa Valley wine tasting with that special someone. Sometimes the finest trips are done on your own. It is possible to take some time and stay at a winery long enough to meet up with the winemakers and learn about growing and pressing grapes into several exclusive vintages. We propose you start off in Calistoga and make your way to Yountville.

In case you are vacationing with all the children determine which vineyards appeal to families. Many will provide grape juice tastings for children and feature special family focused activities throughout the summer. The Napa and Sonoma Valleys are usually expensive for families. One affordable suggestion and to add to your kids knowledge as well is to take them to one of the Northernmost California Missions.

Sometimes your finances might be the top priority. There are a couple of solutions to save while visiting the region such as things like grabbing your lunch at a local deli or making your own picnic lunch. There are several family owned farms in the region that have their home grown fruit, vegetables, cheeses and breads available at convenient road side stands.

When driving through the valley you’ll find that there are vineyards everywhere along both sides of the road. Regardless of whether you check out well known names such as Berringer or Mondavi with a group tour or travel on your own on the Silverado Trail Road to do some Napa wine tasting you’re likely to delight in your visit to the Napa and or Sonoma wine country
