Napa Valley Wine Tasting Tips

A trip to Napa Valley is truly a wine lover's dream. From the amazing food to the killer wine there is something for everyone. Today we are sharing our Napa Valley California Wine Tasting Tips.

Pick up brochures and tour magazines at the airport or your hotel. Many of them have great coupons for discount tastings within Napa Valley.

Napa Valley is one long continuous valley with multiple cities. Make sure when making your hotel reservation you know what part of town you are staying in compared to where you would like to go wine tasting. The road can get really backed up.

Pick a designated driver early! Tastings can start early in the day and run into the afternoon. Pick a designated driver or rent a limo so everyone can enjoy the day and tastings. The tastings may seem like a small amount of wine but when you are tasting multiple wines they add up quickly.

-Give yourself time to enjoy the area and soak up the moment. Plan out your winery visits but make sure you have ample time to sit back and enjoy a glass of wine.
