Downtown Napa Tasting Rooms Worth Your Time
The wine never stops flowing in Napa Valley, but that can sometimes make it hard to choose where to enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting. There are, of course, a number of exquisite way to experience the diverse wines of the area, too, including riding the Napa Valley Wine Train, taking customized wine tours, and heading out on your own to visit the beautiful vineyards that dot surrounding hillsides. As you explore Napa Valley, don’t overlook the incredible downtown Napa tasting rooms.
Some of the best wine tastings in the valley can be found at these downtown Napa tasting rooms, and the best part about them is you don’t have to travel far to get there. And, once you’re there, downtown Napa is incredibly walkable, which makes wine tasting in downtown that much easier and more enjoyable! Downtown Napa tasting rooms are also traditionally open later than wineries and vineyards in the countryside, which of course just means more time to explore these delicious wines. Wine tasting in downtown Napa is about as hassle-free as you’re going to get, short of booking a door-to-door private wine tour – which we’d be happy to help you arrange, too.
So you’ve settled on at least one day of wine tasting downtown. Now which downtown Napa tasting rooms should you visit? Here are 10 of our best recommendations!
