Napa Valley Holidays 2025 & 2026

World-Class Wine Trails 

The Napa Valley wine route is world-class, so rich in different experiences and destinations. Here are three of the best wine trail treats. 

• Visit Joseph Phelps, ZD Wines and the splendid Miner Family Winery 

• Explore the stunning Tuscan castle, Castello di Amorosa 

• Experience the delights of the charming city of St Helena 

If you can manage all three you'll be well on the way to getting the full flavour of this deliciously lush, rich and verdant region. 

Have you heard about the Napa Valley Wine Train? It's something else, a restaurant on wheels rich in old-school antique splendour, all crisp white tablecloths and fine dining. Take a trip on the Napa Valley Wine Train and indulge on world-class vino and gourmet delights whilst taking in the stunning scenery of California's wine country. 

It’s not just about the wine.. 

Wine isn't the only treat in the Napa Valley. There's so much more. How about these? 
 

• Relax in the hot springs and spa at Calistoga 

• Visit Napa itself, particularly the vibrant downtown area 

• Take a hot air balloon ride over lush vineyards 

 
With all three under your belt you'll feel wonderfully familiar with the legendary vibe of this glorious area of the USA, a place you'll want to return to again and again. 

Other experiences to squeeze in... 

Breathe Napa in all its glory on your bike, taking in a fine wine tour on two wheels courtesy of a friendly, experienced tour guide. Play an excellent round of golf in the famously balmy climate, with a host of great courses to choose from. Visit the dramatic Skyline Wilderness park for hiking, biking and horse riding. Enjoy a performance at the Uptown Theatre in Napa. Eat out at the Calistoga Inn, restaurant and brewery, famous for its outdoor dining, live entertainment and dancing.
