Romantic wineries in Napa Valley
For an anniversary or a weekend away for two, look for quieter estates with seated tastings, a terrace, or a private room. These wineries are well suited to couples, and several offer private or reserve experiences worth booking for a special occasion. Pair one with a long lunch and leave the driving to someone else, and the day takes care of itself.
