Tastings Rooms: Not Your Typical Vineyard

A trip to wine country includes the popular experience of exploring vineyard wineries and participating in a traditional Napa Valley wine tasting. But another beautiful experience awaits those who travel to the less commonly known tasting rooms. Downtown Napa has a variety of tasting rooms allowing people to simply walk from one to the other. The outskirts of the town are also home to tasting rooms that are definitely worth mentioning. They often carry multiple brands from small production Napa Valley wineries and Sonoma wineries. Let’s take a look at some of our favorite places to experience a Napa Valley wine tasting.
