When to go

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

Car or driver serve the valley; arrange non-driving transport for those participating in tastings.

Suggested itinerary

An order that works

Built with the places on this page. No rush: it's paced so you have time to see them.

One day in Napa
  1. Morning
    Napa Valley Wine Train

    Dedicate the start of the itinerary to the Napa Valley Wine Train. Prioritize the main part of the visit and the arrival time, leaving a break before continuing in Napa.

  2. Afternoon
    Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park

    After the break, proceed to Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park. Check access and tour the site without turning the Napa afternoon into a sequence of transfers.

  3. Late afternoon
    Return via the Napa Valley Wine Train area

    Finish walks in the area of Napa already visited and return to lodging before planning another transfer. Light and weather can alter the duration of this stage.

  4. Evening
    Free evening in Napa

    Dine near your base in Napa and keep the evening free to rest after the Napa Valley Wine Train and Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park outings.

Check before you go. Opening hours and days change, and places may close for renovations, holidays or events. This itinerary is a suggestion from Cidade Turismo, not a commitment: plan yours by checking directly with each place you intend to visit.
