Napa Sonoma Wine Country Driver

Napa Valley Off-Season There really isn't a bad time to visit Napa wine country, but it sure is better after fall crush (between November and April), when the crowds go home, hotels are more affordable and choice restaurant reservations are easier to come by. Within 1.5 hours of San Francisco, oenophiles can raise a glass at more than 450 wineries, and enjoy world-class dining, spas and local festivals, fairs and farmers' markets, making it a wine-fueled weekend getaway or much needed mid-winter excursion.

Rarely do we get snow in Napa, but Monday night temperatures dropped and we got this dusting of snow on top of the mountains. The vines are dormant so they are fine. Book a tour and we'll show you some of our favorite mountain wineries for great wine tasting experiences. Call 707-329-0555 or visit napasonomavinotours.com. #NapaValley #VisitNapaValley

No need for vitamin D3 this week. Come out and play...

For many wine lovers, winter is the perfect time to travel for several reasons, whether just to escape to a warmer place or simply because they prefer a quieter season for travelling. There are many reasons to choose winter for your holidays. The summer rush is over, there are fewer people in the tasting rooms, with more personalized service, it’s easier to get into choice restaurants, better hotel deals, quieter roads, peaceful walks, the freshness of the air, and for wine lovers in particular, this means the wine estates, cellars, and vineyards are able to present a closer and warmer experience. Sometimes you are even able to taste wines only available during this season. So don’t wait till summer to get out here. Get out here now and beat the crowds!

The winter brings a slow period for hospitality in wine country. A chance for us to get out and enjoy the beauty of the valleys. Last Thursday, we had the opportunity to taste the offerings of Piazza Del Dotto, Elizabeth Spencer and The Prisoner Wine Company. The pairing below is from TPW.
