Napa Valley, California

The destination guide

The best things in life are the experiences we share, savor, and discover. Nowhere is that more apparent than in Napa Valley, where anyone — and everyone — can experience a taste of the good life.

Experience a Taste of the Good Life

From world-class resorts and ultra-extravagant B&Bs with unparalleled hospitality to luxurious spas, cozy wine-tasting rooms, and Michelin-starred restaurants with swoon-worthy views, Napa provides a decadent taste of the good life.

Napa Valley comprises five distinct towns for you to dine, shop, sip and stay: Calistoga, St. Helena, Yountville, Napa, and American Canyon.

An Oenophile’s Dream

There are hundreds of wineries to explore, each with its own unique style, setting and history.

Enjoy intimate wine tastings, expansive outdoor spaces, and behind-the-scenes private tours of wine cellars and caves. Plus, 95% of our wineries are family-owned and operated, which means nearly every spot will feel like home.

Tastefully Elegant Overnights

Whether your preference is modern, historic, close to restaurants and shops, or the calm of a remote vineyard setting, the Napa Valley caters to every visitor's needs. What’s more, many lodging partners offer concierge services to assist you with dining reservations, winery appointments, and suggested activities and excursions.

Best Time to Visit

Summer will lure you with golden hills, verdant vines, and the warmth of the sun. Summer is when the grapes really start to grow and by August, harvest begins throughout the valley. Evenings can be cool even in summer, so bring a sweater for outdoor dining.

Getting Married in Napa Valley

Napa Valley remains one of the most sought-after places in the country to host a destination wedding — and understandably so.

With a Mediterranean-like climate, gorgeous landscapes, and world-renowned food and wine, it’s no wonder so many couples opt for a wedding amongst our rolling vineyards. Where in the valley to say, “I do,” however, depends on what you’re looking for — and what you like.

Fortunately, there are a bevy of sites for all group sizes and interests, including culinary centers, parks, a limited number of wineries, resorts, and inns.
