How to Avoid Common Mistakes When Visiting Napa Wine Country

By platypustours, 10 September, 2026

First-time visitors to Napa Wine Country often try to fit too much into one day. Five or six winery visits may sound tempting, but three gives you time to enjoy each experience without constantly watching the clock. Skipping lunch is another mistake; our small-group tours include a tasty picnic lunch at a winery, along with plenty of bottled water. Dress in layers for changing temperatures, and don't limit yourself to the winery names you already know.

 

Some of the most memorable experiences in Napa Wine Country happen at welcoming, family-owned hidden gems tucked along scenic backroads. Our small-group tours are $139 per person, seven days a week, with a knowledgeable local guide who expertly curates the day and handles the reservations, timing, transportation, and details. Instead of worrying about where to go next, you can relax, discover new wineries, and spend the day immersed in wine country.
