Travel to the Napa Valley for a holiday weekend of Napa wine tasting could be impressive. You can find literally dozens of wineries & vineyards within this historic wine growing country. There are stunning vistas in just about any direction and wonderfully landscaped estate vineyards to explore.

The key to a wonderful Napa wine tasting getaway is to plan in advance and seek information. If you are one of those that don’t like to drive you might want to consider a group tour. If you happen to desire to take the time to observe the area by yourself and do some shopping you may want to get yourself a map of all of the vineyards and rent a car. We discovered the best prices can frequently end up being found in Calistoga or Napa Valley wineries.

When it is your first time visiting the Napa Valley you might want to consider the Napa Wine Train. This is a terrific adventure which allows you to taste a number of vintages and observe the countryside while sitting comfortably aboard this historic train. You may also have a plate of appetizers that may consist of local fruits and cheeses, a delicious lunch or a gourmet supper.

You might be planning a romantic escape and desire to head to the region and experience some Napa Valley wine tasting with that special someone. At times the best trips are carried out by yourself. It is possible to take some time and stay at a winery long enough to meet up with the vintners and understand more about growing and pressing grapes into several unique vintages. We propose you start off in Calistoga and make your way to Yountville.

In the event you are traveling with the kids learn which vineyards cater to families. Some will make available grape juice tastings for children and provide specific family oriented entertainment throughout the summer. The Napa and Sonoma Valleys can be expensive for families. One affordable suggestion and to add to your kids learning at the same time is to take them to one of the Northernmost California Missions.

At times your budget may be the main concern. There are a couple of ways to save while touring the region such as things like grabbing your lunch at a local deli or making your own picnic lunch. You can find several family owned farms in the region that feature their home grown fruit, vegetables, cheeses and breads available at convenient road side stands.

When traveling through the valley you’ll find that there are vineyards all around you along either side of the interstate. No matter if you pay a visit to 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 savor your visit to the Napa and or Sonoma wine country
