Off Season Wine Country Visit

Are you looking for a fun getaway without lots of people, but plenty of cozy places to stay and terrific food and wine?  Ready?  Because we have a trip for you:

Think of an off season visit to Napa or Sonoma.  Late fall and winter in the wine country can be an especially good time to visit.  Sure there’s not the excitement of the harvest and crush… but there’s not the crowds either.  So off season is a great time to explore on your own terms. 

It’s down time at the vineyard and catch up time at many of the wineries.  The tasting rooms aren’t crowded and people have a lot more time to spend talking about their wines.  It’s the perfect time to schedule special tastings, too. 

Off season can be a little rainy and cool so my favorite part is sitting by the fire and sipping a discovery made that day.
