Wineries
If you have some time and would like to see the different wineries, please see the below link for Napa Valley wineries, maps and other information. Also note that some wineries allow visitors by reservation only.

Napa Valley Vintners is a great site to get general information on Napa Valley and the wineries. The site provides all information, such as hours of operations, locations, if you need a reservation etc. We utilize it when we plan our trips.
