Calendar of Napa Valley Events

Napa Valley is known as one of the winemaking regions in the world and produces some of the best wines. Most visitors go to Napa solely to participate in various winery tours and might even bring home a couple of bottles. If you want to experience how the best Napa Valley wines are made from scratch, you should plan your trip during the harvest season, which is during the months of August through December. During these times, you get to see the valley come alive with harvest parties held by various Napa wineries. You can also participate in grape stomping and other activities during this season. 

Cabernet season comes directly after the harvest season and this is the time when Napa Valley’s temperature is perfectly mild, making it the best time to enjoy the results of the wineries’ harvests.

But did you know that Napa Valley has other things to offer beyond wine? 

While it can be said that wine is Napa’s heart and soul, the region has a rich culture embedded into it. Aside from wine, you can also enjoy delicious food, interesting arts, and entertaining music all over the valley. Visitors shouldn’t just go to Napa Valley for wine but also explore events that will make their trip worthwhile.
