Wine Country Tours and Activities

So Much To Do

Tours & ActivitiesEnjoyment of wine is a big reason people visit, but the Wine Country experience is about more than the wine. It's about enjoying the whole Wine Country lifestyle. Wine and food are obviously central elements of the lifestyle, but don't get the idea that food and wine is all there is to do here. Quite the opposite: The Wine Country is one of the best places to enjoy and participate in the activity-oriented California culture. Whether your interests run toward the active or passive, athletic or cerebral, there is much to do in the Wine Country that will capture your fancy. Indulge in a warm mud bath or other spa treatments. Sign on for an aerial sightseeing tour aboard a hot air balloon. Watch the tranquil beauty of the vineyards roll past your window aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train, while you enjoy a gourmet meal! All that and much, much more awaits you in the Wine Country.

Tours & Activities Tips

  • Plan Ahead. Especially during peak tourism season (generally May through October), the more unusual things to do can be in high demand. Book your must-do tours and activities early to avoid disappointment.
  • Reserve Time. Many tours and activities will be available to fit your schedule, but some will only be available (or will be most enjoyable) at specific times or on certain dates. When you book your reservation, ask about best times and dates to participate.
  • Check Events. Check our online Wine Country events calendar frequently to see when festivals, fairs, or other special events are happening so you can plan your trip and time accordingly.
