Napa Valley wineries with picnic areas and gardens
Few things beat a long lunch under the trees between tastings. These wineries have gardens or picnic areas, and some sell picnic supplies on site. Rules differ: some require a reservation or a wine purchase to use the picnic grounds, and outside wine is almost never allowed. Check before you pack the basket, and pick up supplies in town on the way.
24 wineries, ranked by guest rating. Details checked against each winery's own site.
