Hit some of Napa’s world famous wineries for that “out of the ordinary” experience. You don’t need a national holiday to schedule a few days of fun—just a few days off from work and an overnight bag.  Before you embark upon your wine tasting excursion here are a few tips to keep in mind:

  • Map out your favorite wineries: ask friends or relatives who have visited wine country for a list of their favorites. Ideally you could focus on one or two popular wineries and then build your list to surrounding wineries from there
  • Consider joining your favorite winery’s fresh shipment list: found a wine you can’t live without? You don’t have to travel back to Napa Valley to continue enjoying your favorite bouquet. Sign up for a monthly or yearly wine shipment—it will be like revisiting your vacation again and again
  • Identify local restaurants: almost as famous as our wineries, restaurants in Napa are world renowned. Plan ahead of time, or inquire with your hotel concierge to find the most intriguing
  • Check the weather before you leave: the idea is to enjoy the majestic scenery and outdoor wineries, so packing the right attire is imperative

Once you’ve identified the weekend or mid-week dates for your escape, reserve your accommodations at Napa Valley Hotel and Suites. Relaxing at our premier boutique luxury hotel will be the crowning jewel for a getaway to remember. Plus we are sweetening the deal by offering $10 off your stay for a limited time only!  How can you pass up this amazing offer?
