Best Things to Do in Napa Valley During Your Next Wine Road Trip

Ride the Napa Valley Wine Train

You cannot visit Napa and not take a ride on the Napa Valley Wine Train. This train will allow you to visit multiple wineries in one day while enjoying a delicious meal, and wine, at the same time. The views during your train ride will be stunning, so you will want to make sure you have your camera with you.

Go on the Napa Art Walk

If you love looking at phenomenal works of art, you must go on the Napa Art Walk. This walk will allow you to see many different sculptures outside. While many of the sculptures are by local artists, every couple of years, international artists are showcased.

Go Horseback Riding in a Vineyard

Those who love horses will want to take advantage of the opportunity to ride a horse through a vineyard. The Napa Valley Horse Company is one of the businesses that allow this, and they have family riding days on Sundays.

Go Fly Fishing

Fly fishing takes some skills, but Napa Valley is one of the best places to learn. If you are ready to start to fly fishing during your next road trip in Napa Valley, I recommend trying to go to Putah Creek, Yuba River, or Stanislaus River.

Shop at the Oxbow Public Market

The Oxbow Public Market is an excellent place to do a little shopping for souvenirs and food. However, you can also order a cocktail or two if you are ready to relax at the end of a long day of exploring.

Hike to the Summit at Robert Louis Stevenson State Park

There are many different hiking trails within this state park, but the five-mile hike to the summit of Mt. St. Helena is the most popular. The trail to the summit is called the Stevenson Memorial Trail and it begins at the parking lot located on Highway 29.

These are six of the best things to do in Napa Valley during your next wine road trip. Obviously, you will combine all these with visits to the local wineries. The entire family will love the time you spend exploring the vineyards in Napa.

Experience the Wine Train in Napa

The wine train travels thirty-six miles all the way to St. Helena and back again. However, you won’t travel that distance. The distance you do travel will be dependent on the wine train tour you choose. There are many different wine train tours to choose from, so you will always find one that fits your road trip vacation needs.

Napa Valley Wine Train Tours

The full-day wine train tours are the most popular. But half-day tours, lunch tours, and dinner tours are also available. There are three different full-day wine train tours. Each one will have you stopping at different wine estates in the valley. The full-day tours last between five and six hours. So, you will want to plan your day accordingly.

If you choose one of the shorter wine train tours, you can choose which wine estate or vineyard you are stopping at. A few of the options include Castello di Amorosa, Beringer Vineyards, Whitehall Lane Vineyards, Grgich Hills Estate, and Inglenook Winery.

There are also specialty wine train tours that include romantic dinners, holiday meals, and murder mysteries.

If you happen to choose a wine train tour that offers lunches or dinners, you will find seasonal dishes on the menu. All the ingredients are fresh and wholesome. So, you will never need to question what you are eating. As you eat your meal, you will find yourself gazing out the window towards the gorgeous Napa Valley.

Prior to boarding the wine train, you can begin tasting different wines at the Wine Shop. The shop features more than two hundred different types of wines. It is easy to find a favorite before the rest of your day even begins. Don’t lose track of time though. You must begin boarding the wine train approximately thirty minutes before it leaves the station.

Afterward, you can stop at the gift shop to purchase any wine you didn’t get during your visits to the estates and vineyards.

If you are looking for a unique experience for your next road trip, I recommend you add the Napa Valley Wine Train to your itinerary. Even though kids and teenagers will not be able to drink the wine on this train, they will still have an amazing time. After all, no one can resist riding a train and being mesmerized by the views that they see through the windows.
