Amizetta winery was by far the best experience. We were the only ones there for a tasting and although the drive seems intimidating it’s so worth it!
Shadybrook estate horseback riding and tasting!
Research ahead of time and lock in the tasting reservations for wineries! We stayed at the candlelight inn and it was a romantic bed and breakfast that exceeded our expectations

Ad Hoc. It’s always a surprise what you’ll be eating which is so fun, and the food is always phenomenal. I highly recommend the Sunday Brunch!
Hendry and Biale Wineries. Lesser known places that provide a phenomenal experience and make amazing wine. Napa Valley Bike Tours is another fun way to experience Napa.
Call ahead to a winery and ask if they have a cellared bottle from the year of your wedding. My husband surprised me with a beautiful 2006 Primitivo. Some places will surprise you with anniversary “gifts” but don’t expect it from all.

Enjoy the wine!! But make sure to not schedule too much in one day. Also our favorite winery was Blue Rock--it's a hidden gem that everyone needs to know about!

Musts: Buena Vista Winery Cave & Barrel Tour, The Girl & the Fig (the food!), The Depot Hotel & Restaurant (Italian), The French Laundry (three Michelin Star fine dining at its best!), Salon Novo (Leticia is amazing for updos and makeup), a convertible to enjoy all of wine country! Stay walking distance from the square too. So many great tasting rooms, shops, and places to dine. Obviously, if you need a photographer, contact Flytographer!
