Holiday In Napa

Eighteenth-century Napa, California, may have been founded to produce wine for use in churches, but these days, it’s the wineries themselves providing the religious experiences.

Whether you’re looking for enlightenment at the top of a mountain or at the bottom of a champagne flute, lastminute.co.nz has a Napa package to match your holiday dreams.

Things to Do in Napa

Pop quiz: What goes with wine even better than cheese? A spa day! A holiday in Napa is full of opportunities to wrap yourself in mud, volcanic ash or just natural mineral water (all while sipping on some vino, of course). If you prefer to work off those future calories, take a hike in the Land Trust of Napa, where you can trek an easy 3-mile trip to a waterfall. Or, rent a kayak or paddleboard and take to the river. If only you could float up to the bars!

Not a wine fan? Why are you here? Just kidding! Napa’s got a brewery and distillery too, so you’re free to pick your poison. Once you’ve got a buzz on, head to di Rosa’s Gatehouse Gallery to see an eccentric collection of modern works—and take a few selfies with the resident peacocks. You should also save a day (before you start drinking) to take one of lastminute.co.nz’s Napa car rental options 40 km north to Calistoga to see its medieval castle—yes, you read that right! Castello di Amorosa is a perfect replica, right down to its drawbridge.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

If there’s one thing oenophiles love besides wine, it’s shopping! Book Napa packages near downtown and you’ll barely have to lift a toe to shop till you drop. Check out Oxbow Public Market for edible souvenirs like olive oil and chocolates, then head to the Riverfront Promenade for unique shops with everything from pottery to kitchen tools. Always needed an avocado slicer or wondered what a spice blend called “Napa Valley Rub” tastes like? You’re in luck.

On any Napa holiday, the best food is whatever goes with your wine! Pair roasted rabbit with that merlot or spicy king crab with your favourite riesling of the day. As you might expect, there are tons of options for Italian fare, from upscale to pizza delivery. But never fear, dive-bar types: There’s plenty of barbecue, burgers and beers, too.

Napa nightlife along the waterfront is booming. Take a walk along the promenade and choose your tunes, from jazz to rock. If you’re feeling pretty classy after all that wine tasting, hit the Uptown Theatre or the Napa Valley Opera House. Too laid-back for you? Just 80 km south is a city that really knows how to party. Make sure you have a layover at SFO and check out our San Francisco holiday packages.
