The Best Wineries in Napa Valley, CA

In the very heart of California’s wine country lies Napa Valley. Everywhere you look there’s another Napa winery, each one appearing to be even better than the last. However, some of them are just a bit more spectacular than the rest.

Antica Napa Valley

If all of wine country isn’t enough of an escape, head to Antica Napa Valley Winery. It’s nestled away up a mountain to create an oasis within another oasis. Tour the grounds and the cellar caves for a truly unique experience. The wine tastings here make for an absolutely wonderful afternoon in Napa Valley.

Trefethen Family Vineyards

This historic winery just drips charm from its gorgeous interior woodwork. The wines at Trefethen Family Vineyards are absolutely tantalizing and the grounds’ beautifully restored barn is the perfect setting to sip them.

Truchard Vineyards

Pack a picnic to delight in at the vineyards at this winery. Truchard Vineyards is a smaller winery compared to others that are in Napa but it’s certainly not about size here. During a tasting and visit, the staff is wonderfully welcoming and accommodating. And don’t forget to stroll the lovely rose garden!

Del Dotto Historic Caves

At Del Dotto Historic Caves there’s the vineyard, winery and, yes, caves. The 19th-century underground caves are where the winery ages all their wines. Better yet, the caves are open to tours! All the hosts are knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the winery.
