We went for the first time last February and had a great time. Try not to stay in Napa. It’s really south of everything and will add to your travel time. Plus is very commercialized compared to the rest of the area with outlet malls and fast food. Look at staying in Yountville, St Helena or a little further north. We stayed at the Vintage Inn and I would highly recommend. A trip to Napa will not go easy on the wallet. But you can save a little here or there. Splitting the cost of a driver with another couple would be smart. I was able to use Uber and Lyft with relative ease and probably saved $300-$400 a day versus a hired driver. Map out the vineyards you want to visit and try to get reservations that are close together. No sense spending all your time riding up and down the highway. Check out vineyards in Stags Leap, Howell Mountian and spring Mountian. Look up cellar pass for reservations and reviews. If you can do a private tasting when available. Well worth it. Highlights from our trip: Schramsberg — cool cave tour, champagne decent wines. Good place to start the trip Barnett. Top of spring Mountian. Awesome views, one of the best in the area, really good cabs, their rattlesnake cab is awesome but $200 a bottle. But they will wave the cost of the tour if you buy one. White wines were good. Odette. Awesome vineyard. Best wine we had hands down. Do a private tour. It will include plumpjack, Cade, and adaptation. We joined their club and get shipments every 90 days. Frank Family. Their reserve Chardonnay was our favorite. Still have some delivered from time to time. Not overly expensive for their non reserve. Anderson’s Conn Calley. Really small producer of good cabs. You will most likely be the only ones there Hall. Great wines. Very crowded and high price tags Shaffer. Beautiful, nice people. Was not impressed with the wine for the price tag. There are plenty of review sites like trip advisor, cellar pass, etc that will give you a good idea of what to expect. Can’t go wrong on food. It’s all awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
