What to Do in Napa Valley in the Winter

Winter is a lovely time to visit Napa Valley. The crowds are usually slower, so restaurant and winery reservations are easier to get. While visiting Napa Valley in the winter, consider attending the Napa Truffle Festival, taking part in Napa Valley’s Restaurant Week or experiencing true Napa Valley splendor while tasting wines on the overlook of Aonair Winery (be sure to get reservations). If you are visiting Napa Valley around the end of January, look for the beautiful blooms of the yellow Mustard flowers; some lovely views can be found on the way to Aonair Winery.

If you are in the mood for an indulgent dinner, The French Laundry is a must. And for a little relaxation in between, book an appointment at The Meadowood Spa. Be sure to order lunch from the ever-changing spa culinary menu with offerings like Lemon Thyme, a dish made with Mary’s Organic Chicken, bok choy and wild rice.
