family friendly napa tips

Plan ahead and make reservations

Many wineries require reservations, so plan ahead and make sure you allow for plenty of time to travel between tastings as traffic can get backed up at times.

Check age restrictions

Not all wineries allow kids to accompany adults to their tastings.  Make sure you do your research before booking your reservations. We had no problem finding great wineries with kids activities and even grape juice tastings available.  

Bring along fun activities

Small cars, coloring books, a tiny tin of playdough, wiki sticks, a puzzle book; these are a few of the activities we took with use to engage our son while we attended tastings.

Space out wine tastings with playtime

When you're planning your day, include stops at the local playgrounds, farmers markets, walking/bike paths, local library and kid friendly shops.

Check out the local events calendar

We always check out the local events calendar before arrival to look for family friendly festivals, concerts, library storytime, plays etc.

Take your time and enjoy the small moments

Our family had so much fun biking around Napa, touring wine caves and being out in nature.  These small moments added up to great memories.  Try to pace yourself and enjoy these moments.
