California Wine Country is one of the few places where I would recommend spending a little more money on premium vacationing services, it's actually very much worth your dime. There's a whole world of luxury hidden among the rolling hills of Napa and Sonoma Valley. This blog post is all about showcasing some of the unique ways to experience California wine country in style.
My Top Favorite Wine Tours in California Wine Country
Obviously visiting the famous Napa Valley is all about enjoying world renowned wines. I highly recommend anyone visiting wine country for the first time do their homework and watch the movie Bottle Shock. This film does a great job of explaining how this region became a hub for wine production. The below tours are some of the many options you can find to enjoy wine tasting.
Hot Air Ballon Wine Tour
See the sights from a birdβs-eye view aboard a hot air balloon. You even get to sip some wine while up in sky!
Napa Valley Wine Train
Take a ride on the famous Napa Wine Train, a vintage old train that brings so many feelings of nostalgia. Enjoy a gourmet meal made from freshly-grown seasonal ingredients and wine pairings. Also included are vineyard tours and tastings of local Napa wines.
Private Driver from San Francisco to Napa Valley
One of the logistical problems of having a hotel in San Francisco and going wine tasting in Napa, is that you have to designate a driver to safely drive everyone back. The ultimate luxury is to have a private driver so that everyone can enjoy the tastings. Book a convenient driving tour to Napa!
Private Cooking Class & Wine Pairing
Like most things in life, wine is better with food. Napa Valley is home to some of the worldβs best chefs, and some of them will even allow guests into their kitchens to share some cooking wisdom. Book a private cooking class with a top chef.
Yountville is Napaβs Newest Popular Spot
Wine country is buzzing about the small town Yountville, mostly because itβs home to many Michelinβstarred restaurants. Food and wine tours are available in Yountville to help you taste your way through this little food mecca.
Healdsburg is a Walkable Town
One important thing to note is that in Napa, most wineries are fairly spread apart and require driving. Healdsburg is a very charming town that has a great center plaza and you can walk to multiple winery tasting rooms, bakeries and restaurants. Trust us when we tell you that it will be one very luxurious stroll!
