Arrive before lunch for the best shot at joining a tour many at the popular Benziger Family Winery—and bring a picnic, since the grounds here are lovely. The same rule applies to many of the area's vinyards.

    I heartily endorse this suggestion! This is a biodynamic winery and for those interested in sustainability, it is a must see. It is also a very lovely place with welcoming people, and an exceptional wine tasting room.

    Benziger is one of my favorite wineries for a tour. Their vineyard tour is fabulous.

    Wine tasting (especially in the Napa Valley) has gotten more expensive over the years. Tip: Do a web search for free wine tasting coupons to find coupons you can print at home for complimentary tastings or 2 for 1 specials.
