Napa Valley is famous for its wine production and each year people flock to Northern California to explore the 600 wineries in Napa Valley and Sonoma. The best way to get all there is from Napa Valley is to take a wine tour. These are our top picks for Napa wine tours.
Napa Valley Wine Tour
This tour is unlike other wine tours as you’ll get to ride on a replica of a cable car instead of a typical tour bus. They reopened on June 26 after being shut down because of the pandemic and they’re following the CDC recommendations like limiting the number of people on the tour and maintaining social distance.
For $99 you’ll be able to visit four wineries, eat a picnic-style lunch, and you’ll have unlimited bottles of water and soft drinks between the tastings. The tour lasts six hours and if you want to upgrade, you can do a Premium-Up Valley Tour for $139 which is six and a half hours long and visits three wineries, includes a picnic and unlimited soft drinks, and a two-hour stop and tasting at Castello di Amorosa.
