Travel Guides For Your Best Napa Valley Wine Tours:

Yountville

Napa Weekends is a collection of travel guides for the Napa Wine Country weekend visitor.  Each Travel Guide contains all the information you'll need to enjoy a great weekend in the famous Napa Valley including hotels, restaurants, best Napa valley wine tours, best Napa valley wine tasting, activities and shopping. 

Napa Weekend Travel Guides cover most popular areas of Napa Valley plus a few off the beaten track places the tourists never find.

Our Point Of View

There are some truly awesome tasting and tour experiences to be had in the Napa Valley or you can just try to cram as many tastings as possible, spend a lot of money, fight the crowds, and try some pretty disappointing wines.  Our view is to capture those awesome experiences (duh...).  Of course you want to taste great wine, but we've found that the "Wine Country Experience" is about touring caves, wine and food pairings, conversations with the winemaker, and those unforgettable picnics above the valley.  By using our Guides you can find unique and memorable visits and some great wines to bring back and share with your vacation stories.  All you have to do is read on and PLAN.

Napa Wineries Tasting Fees & "By Appointment Only"

Most Napa wineries charge from $5 to as high as $30 for wine tasting and tours.  Premium wines can range as high as $40 to $50 for tasting.  Just another reason to choose your visits wisely and find the best tasting experience.  Many "Appointment Only" wineries don't charge a tasting fee but it is expected that you will be purchasing wine.  These wineries often provide the most personal, informative, and quality wine tasting experience.  We have included many wineries in our tour that require making appointments, don't shy away from these.  Visiting these wineries is often the best experience of any Napa tasting.  We've included e-mail links and information to wineries who accept e-mail appointments to make the process easier for you. 


Enjoy Your Napa Weekend!
