1. The Napa Valley is the home to more than 300 wineries, plus over 250 wineries in Sonoma, so there are a lot of wineries. You will only be able to visit 4 to 6 wineries per day with a 6 to 8 hour wine tour. We encourage our guests to visit a large winery or two, experience a cave tour and visit a boutique, off-the-beaten path, small winery.

2. The Wine Country is open to visitors all year round, and Saturday is the most crowded wine tasting day of the week. The peak time for wine tasting is between May and October. So, if you visit the Napa Valley in the peak season, especially on Saturday, expect it to be crowded.

3. Off season months are between November and April, which is a great time to do wine tasting. Also, during the week in high season is a good way to miss some of the large crowds.

4. Sonoma, with over 250 wineries, is often less crowded than Napa, which have great wineries as well. Some of the best wines are grown and bottled in the Sonoma Valley.

5. If you are traveling during the peak season, please don't wait until the last minute or you might be disappointed. Limousines, hotels, restaurants, etc might be all booked and prices tend to get higher. Try to plan a month a head of time. In the slow season, you could possibly book a couple of weeks ahead. But, the earlier the better!

6. There are a lot of choices, from places to stay, to dine at, wineries to visit, to activities so if you feel overwhelmed we are here to help you answer questions you may have about the Napa and Sonoma Valley's. Also, we have added some information on this website to help you.
