Most people plan their trips to Napa Valley in the Summer. This is a wonderful time of the year, but you should expect crowds, which in many venues, can mean standing in lines, and crowded tasting bars.

The evenings may be a little cool, but the tasting rooms will be much less crowded, and hotel rates will be much more reasonable.

Choosing wineries
Off the beaten path is wonderful, but make sure that you visit some of the most prominent wineries. First timers are encouraged to visit the iconic wineries, the ones that made Napa famous. Be aware that if you decide to visit during high season, if you do not have reservations, you could be turned away. You can rest assured that most wine tastings are sold out due to space limitations and permit requirements.
