We would advise that you look ahead at where you’d like to visit for a wine tasting in Napa Valley as many places require advanced bookings. With so many wineries to choose from, you could book a tour which can take you between tastings and recommend where to go. Some of our favourite tours include ‘Laces and Limos’, who give you a unique tour of the valley between tastings by way of a Tuk Tuk, or ‘Getaway Adventures’ who offer cycling tours! Not to mention the world-famous Napa Valley Wine Train, offering the ultimate experience of the Valley.

Where to stay in Napa and Sonoma Valley?

On a recent trip to Napa Valley we stayed at The River Terrace Inn which is a brilliant hotel in an ideal location, right on the riverwalk, just steps away from Oxbow Market and The Napa Valley Wine Train Station. Here we enjoyed sitting beside the fire pits on the terrace in the evening, sipping local wine…of course!
