I’m obsessed with traveling, California, and wine, so Napa Valley is an ideal vacation spot.  I think it was made for me. Ideally, I’d love to spend a week (or more) there tasting and touring the wineries but sometimes you only have a few days.  That’s why I’ve put together a 3 day winery list for you to visit when you go.   I used to live in San Francisco and visit Napa a ton so this past trip was a walk down memory lane.  I’ve asked my friends, family (including my dad who is a wine importer), and a few vineyards staff what their favorite places are to visit to compile the list below.

Wineries are open from 9 am – 6 pm so you have 9 hours a day to taste as many wines and tour as many vineyards as you can.  Some wineries open later and some close later so plan accordingly.  I’d try to give yourself at least an hour per tasting at each winery and longer if you take a tour.  Including travel time, tastings, tours, and having a few small plates at the wineries, you can probably make it to 5-7 wineries per day unless you stop somewhere for lunch.  It’s such an incredible experience so please remember not to rush, take it all in, and enjoy every bottle sip.
