IDEAS for Honeymoone­rs

-

Wine tours, of course

With beautiful scenery, eye-catching winery architectu­re, and some of the world’s most sought-after grapes, a wine tour is a Napa must. You could design your own, of course, but someone’s got to drive, so hiring an experience­d guide will mean that you can sample delicious wines without worry. Tours usually include the area’s high-profile producers, such as Opus One, Robert Mondavi Winery and Beringer Vineyards, but try to include some smaller, boutique wineries such as Patel Winery and Morlet Family Vineyards.

Fine dining

Napa’s other great attraction is its spectacula­r dining scene. There are too many options to list, from fine dining to Cali casual, but the unmissable headline attraction is Thomas Keller’s world famous French Laundry. Also garnering plentiful plaudits of late is the Michelin-starred Solbar at the luxury Solage resort, and The Restaurant at Meadowood at Meadowood Resort.

Check out the local festivals

Festival Napa Valley, organised by local business leaders, includes a huge range of music and theatre events at venues including wineries. The Napa Valley Film Festival runs through the spring—and inevitably also takes in food and wine. And the annual music festival Bottlerock has attracted headliners such as Bruno Mars, Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Day trip to San Francisco

Absence does make the heart grow fonder, so if you want a short reprieve from all the delicious wine and amazing scenery in Napa Valley, the sights and sounds of San Francisco are just 90 minutes away by car.
