Napa Valley during Labor Day tends to be hot and crowded, that's what I'd heard anyway. It seemed to be neither this year, once again our travel luck was with us. We were having some pretty warm, humid weather in San Diego before we left. Once we landed in Oakland and stepped outside, we were hit with some "cold" air. Ahhh, it was so nice! I ended up having to buy a sweater in Napa, because it was a little cool at night.
We got to Napa on Friday and visited the tasting rooms in downtown Napa. Saturday and Sunday, we visited wineries in the valley. Napa Valley is gorgeous with lots of wine and lots of great restaurants! Next time we visit, we are thinking of staying in Calistoga.
We didn't take as many pictures as we normally do, pretty much just one day, but if you are interested, they are all here: Napa Photos.
I read a book before our trip and it helped me learn a lot about wine and winemaking. It is a great book that is informative and funny at the same time. The book goes through 2 guys' personal experience at several tasting rooms, but then will break away to educate you about wine. If anyone is interested it is called A Moveable Thirst.
