Napa - most popular - grapes - restaurants - Driving a car

This area is most popular in the summer, when it is warm and sunny. Springtime has more comfortable weather, but the area stays warm into the fall, when the grapes are harvested. You can learn about the winemaking process if you take one of the Napa Valley wine tours during the fall harvest season.

If you enjoy peaceful country roads, then a car rental of your dream car and a scenic drive on Highway 29 is one of the best things to do. Going north on Highway 29 takes you through the western part of Napa Valley, past world-class wineries and excellent restaurants. Food is synonymous with wine, so there is no lack of fine dining in Napa. The most scenic part of Highway 29 is from Yountsville in the south to Calistoga, home of California’s own Old Faithful Geyser.

Driving a car and doing your own Napa wine tours allows you to spend as much time as you like in the tasting rooms of Napa wineries. You can purchase bottles of the wines you enjoy to take some of Napa home with you.
