Anyone been to Napa Valley?
« on: July 06, 2012, 06:20:41 PM »
We are thinking of visiting Napa Valley for a day.  Any recommendations?  We know there are wineries... any recommendations on which ones to visit or winery tours to go on?

Thanks

Are you looking for a kosher winery or you don't care?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

We would prefer Kosher winery so we can taste test.  We are staying in San Francisco at the Westin St. Francis on Union Square.  They have group tours to wineries but not to only kosher ones.

I loved Hagafen winery. My favorite wine in the world was from there. (Special reserve Prix)
Chabad in Napa had some coupon for Hagafen for a free tour and wine tasting (of course I was working for them, but they may have info on where to get one and what othr wineries are worth checking out.)

I have no clue about places to stay.

I'm not terribly familiar with things to do and see there but

The Jelly Belly factory is pretty cool.
Besides for the free tour, they also have a paid (pretty expensive) tour where you actually go down on the factory floor. I thought that was pretty awesome.

Lake Berryessa is a great place for boating, there's a boat rental place where you can rent all kinds of boats and jet-skis about 45 minutes from the Jelly Belly factory. 
These are very close to Napa Valley.

There's also the "Old Faithful of California" somewhere around there, I haven't been there but I think it's supposed to be pretty neat...

Right, I forgot about that.
I couldn't do it when I did JB because I was taking a camp group, but one day...

Real boring tour IMO, but worth it for all those free drinks in the end :)
