11 days in Napa Itinerary

Located just 80 km (50 mi) north of San Francisco, Napa sits at the southern end of the scenic Napa Valley, one of the world's major wine regions.

Get out of town with these interesting Napa side-trips: Santa Rosa (Safari West & Charles M. Schulz Museum), St. Helena (Pride Mountain Vineyards, Beringer Vineyards, & more) and Calistoga (Schramsberg Vineyards & Castello di Amorosa). Dedicate the 3rd (Tue) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. And it doesn't end there: enjoy unforgettable views with a balloon tour, do a tasting at Domaine Carneros, explore the striking landscape of Muir Woods National Monument, and explore the world behind art at The Hess Collection Winery & Art Museum.
