Wine Country Tours

The place to visit for Californina wines is Napa Valley. It's about 2 hours north of San Francisco and can easily be a day trip. Most people prefer to make it a whole weekend affair and stay at some of the great Bed & Breakfast places, eat at some of the top restaurants in the country and taste some of the best wine in the word. You can visit Napa all year round and have a great experience, but one of the best times of the year to visit is the Fall. During the fall harvest, the air smells like wine and you can see a lot of the work in progress.

One day trip

The best way to see Napa Valley in one day is by limousine. Renting a limo wine tour is not that expensive, will allow everyone to drink more and focus on having fun. The drive back is painfully long and is much more enjoyable in a limo. The limo drivers also know the vinyards very well and can get you to the ones you want to see more quickly.

If a limo tour of Napa Valley seems to extravagant, there are other tour companies that use buses or shuttles that can be less expensive than a limo tour and are almost as good. Even if you are using a tour service, you will want to make reservations for lunch and some of the top vinyards.

Weekend trip

If you are going to do a two or three day trip to Napa Valley, your best options is probably to drive there. Spending more than a day will allow you to take more tours of vinyards and not feel rushed at every stop. If you are a real wine expert, you will need more than a day, so you can try the wines with food at some of the restaurants in addition to the tastings at the vinyards. Make sure you stay at one of the B&Bs for the perfect romantic weekend.
