Frequently Asked Questions
  • What airport do I fly into for Napa Valley?

    Napa County Airport is the closest Airport to Napa Valley

    There are more than 500 wineries in Napa Valley, so deciding which ones to visit can be daunting. That’s why I’ve divided my favorite wineries and the most popular and Instagram-worthy wineries into several categories to help you decide.

  • Are Airbnbs allowed in Napa?

    Yes, many cities and towns in Napa Valley allow Airbnbs.

    Unless you have a designated driver in your group, you’re not going to want to drive to and from wine tastings. I recommend hiring a driver who can guide you around the region to some of the best wineries, sights, and viewpoints.

    You can also use UBER, Lyft, and taxis. Many of the larger hotels and resorts in the region also provide shuttle services around the area.

  • Is it better to stay in Napa or Sonoma?

    Napa Valley and Sonoma are both incredible destinations, and they will each give you very different experiences.

    Napa is usually more popular, expensive, and crowded than Sonoma, and Napa has a sophisticated “vibe.” If you’re a foodie wanting high-end culinary experiences, then Napa is for you.

    Sonoma is traditionally less-visited and less expensive with a “chiller” vibe than Napa Valley. Both regions have great outdoor activities, and I highly recommend visiting both of these places!

  • What is the best month to visit Napa Valley?

    Napa Valley is a year-round destination because the region doesn’t experience seasonal closures. August – October is the peak season for Napa Valley because of the harvesting season. These months have the perfect weather, and you can participate in harvest dinners, balls, and grape smashing. But crowds and prices are at their peak in these months, so book well in advance.

    November – February is Napa Valley’s low season because the weather is in the high 50s to low 30s (14-0ºC). But if you want to experience Napa on a budget, then it’s worth packing your warm layers to come in these months. Accommodation rates are at their lowest, there won’t be many other travelers, and wineries offer deals and discounts.

    March – May is the region’s shoulder season. Crowds and prices won’t be at their highest yet, and the temperatures will be rising. The Spring wildflowers will be blooming, and the (still cool) temperatures are perfect for hiking and other outdoor activities.

    June – July brings long summer days with equal chances of sun and rain (these are the region’s wettest months). Tourist numbers and prices will rise during these months, so visit during the weekdays to avoid some of the crowds and peak costs.

  • How far apart are Napa and Sonoma?

    The city of Napa and the city of Sonoma are only 14 miles apart. But these two wine regions are both larger than most people realize, so I recommend visiting each region separately to cut down on your driving time.

  • Can you walk between wineries in Napa?

    A few wineries are within walking distance of each other in Napa Valley. But most wineries require you to drive (or bike) between them.

  • How many days do you need in Napa Valley?

    Give yourself at least 3-4 days to explore Napa Valley. This will give you plenty of time to visit wineries for tastings, enjoy the food scene, and do some outdoor activities.

  • Can I wear jeans to a wine tasting?

    Yes, you can wear jeans to a winery as long as they’re not grungy jeans. You don’t have to wear fancy clothes to wineries, but your clothes should be event-appropriate.
