Wine and Dine in Style
Napa Destination Guide

Explore the Wineries
With more than 400 wineries spread throughout the region, Napa Valley is a premier wine destination, offering some of the world's best Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each winery has its own style and history, offering everything from tasting rooms in caves and on-site sommeliers, to art galleries, gardens, and cheese pairings. Stroll through rows of vineyards, speak with the winemakers, and sip award-winning and local wines amid the natural beauty of wine country. Crafting wine for more than 140 years, Beringer is the oldest continually operating winery in the state. Tastings take place in the impressive 1884 Rhine House — once the family's Victorian home, it's now a Napa Valley landmark.

Take a Cooking Class
Suit up in an apron and enhance your cooking abilities through one of Napa Valley's cooking classes, available for all levels of expertise to learn valuable techniques and gain an understanding of ingredients. At the cooking classes at Silverado Cooking School, you'll take part in a hands-on epicurean experience led by professionally trained chefs, featuring seasonal produce grown on property, along with the finest ingredients from local purveyors.

Delight in Fine Dining
Indulge in an elegant dining experience at one of a handful of Michelin-rated restaurants that call Napa Valley home. With inspired menus and exceptional cuisine, these spots set the stage for a special evening. The Restaurant at Meadowood serves modern American fare for a luxurious yet approachable dining experience that has earned Michelin's most prestigious three-star distinction.

Travel the Region by Train
Be transported back in time aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train, an exquisitely restored vintage train from the early 1900s that evokes the luxury of the train travel heyday. The elegant six-hour experience includes a four-course meal onboard and tastings at three wonderful wineries along the way.

Explore the Outdoors

Hot Air Balloon Ride
Soar high above the valley's lush landscape of rolling hills, expansive vineyards, and impressive coastline during a sunrise hot air balloon ride. Gently float 3,000 feet in the sky and savor inspiring views during a once-in-a-lifetime experience with Napa Valley Aloft.

Take a Hike
The Palisades Trail, one of the most popular trails in the region, is a ten-mile hike that offers incredible vistas of the valley, unusual rock formations, and peace and quiet to connect with nature. Or, try the five-mile Mt. George Waterfall hike, where you'll enjoy wildflowers in bloom along steep trails that run parallel to a creek. For something less strenuous, pack a wine and cheese picnic and take a leisurely stroll in Ritchey Canyon on the Redwood Trail at Bothe Napa Valley State Park.

Go Biking
Pedal past rows of vineyards at a casual pace during a Napa Valley Winery + Picnic Bike Tour, which includes stops at two wineries, and a gourmet picnic lunch provided by Chef Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery. Or, rent a bike and hop on the paved Napa Valley Vine Trail, for a smooth and scenic ride for up to 12.5 miles.

Experience Mud & Mineral Baths
Take a soothing dip in one of Calistoga's century-old mud and mineral baths, and feel your stress melt away. At the northern end of the valley, the town of Calistoga is home to high volcanic ash content and natural mineral hot springs that come together for the ultimate therapeutic experience. Visit Indian Springs, for a rejuvenating spa day of thermal mineral waters, mud baths, and special treatments, set among 17 acres of hills, olive trees, and lavender.

Discover Downtown
Spend a leisurely afternoon strolling through downtown Napa. Stop by the 40,000 square foot Oxbow Public Market and peruse through more than 20 merchants under one roof, offering everything from oysters and olive oil to craft beer and chocolates. Along the Napa River Mill district, you'll find the Napa Art Walk, a biennial rotating exhibition of public installation art by various artists from throughout the West Coast. At First Street Napa, you'll find international brands alongside independent, locally-owned boutiques, approachable dining concepts, and, of course, world-class wines.

Play Golf
Enjoy a day on the links at one of the championship courses set amongst Napa Valley's golden hills. At Chardonnay Golf Club, 18-holes meander through more than 150 acres of vineyards, lakes, and creek crossings, for a game that is equal parts challenging and scenic.

Admire Artwork
Along with the fine wine that earned Robert Mondavi Winery the distinction of No. 5 Vineyard in the World, the winery is also home to an impressive 5,000-square-foot art gallery. Margrit Biever Mondavi's love for the arts compelled her to open the gallery back in 1970, and today it continues to feature a rotating collection of art, as well as a permanent collection that is scattered throughout the estate.
