Picture this day: Walking through endless rows of grapes, drinking remarkable wine, and soaking up the sun. In Napa Valley, California, you can drink as much sensational wine as you would like! I spent a whole day in Napa Valley and let's just say I could have definitely stayed for much longer (I could have even used a nap). Let me tell you about 3 phenomenal wineries to visit in Napa Valley!
Robert Mondavi Winery:
You can stroll all day through wine country and drink as much as you would like....but for roughly $50 a person, you can take a tour at one of the fanciest wineries in Napa (#boujeewine). I wanted to take this tour because you get special access to walk among the longest grape rows in Napa. You also get to take a tour of how wine is made, try free samples of their finest wines (paired with an appetizer made by some unbelievably talented chefs), and check out their storage rooms filled with countless barrels of the tastiest wine in all of Napa. Our tour guide was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the history of wine, the Robert Mondavi Winery, and the process of how wine is made. Of course, running through rows or grapes and taking beautiful pictures is ideal and very commonplace in Napa, taking a tour and learning about the history of wine and the Valley will make tasting the wine so much better!
Sterling Winery:
One of the notably popular locations to try wine is the Sterling Winery! You get to start off your trip to this winery by riding a gondola to the top…#CanYouSayFancy???
Great views, unbelievable opportunities for photoshoots, and memorable moments, I highly recommend taking a stop at the Sterling Winery. I won't lie to you all...we showed up to the Sterling Winery (on actual Labor Day) and the line was so insaneeee that we weren't able to actually go to the top to the winery (womp womp womp). I would recommend getting here early if you plan on visiting on a holiday! Here is a picture of wine instead to excite your taste buds:
V. Sattui Winery
This was the last stop of our winery excursion and I am so glad we ended at this stop! With a beautiful park and scenery to lay out a blanket and drink wine or shop for some cheeses and chocolates at their grocery store, there is endless opportunity to make some memories! I loved their wine (that we bought by the bottle from the store) and the freshly made chocolate mousse cake! We even bought a block of cheese to pair with our wine (with help from the cheese master behind the counter because I was noticeably struggling to pair my wine with food #winerookie). 😊
If cheese and dessert did not entirely fill you up, you MUST stop at Gott's Roadside for a ridiculously scrumptious cheeseburger. We ordered some beer (decided to take a quick break from wine), cheeseburgers, and a hot-dog to try. WOW WOW WOW. I have not tasted a more delicious hot dog in my life. 100% Becs approved:
There you have it...3 must tour wineries in Napa Valley! Let me be honest, anywhere that sells wine in Napa Valley is probably a safe bet! I seriously felt like there are wineries almost every 50 feet while driving through Napa. Only a short drive from San Francisco, definitely make sure to add a day or two in Napa to your itinerary!
