Day 1

Visit a Historic Winery

ag体育正规是一个伟大的葡萄酒产区，它开始在世界上留下自己的印记，如果你不去参观该地区最具历史意义和最著名的酒庄，你就不能去ag体育正规. From Napa, head north on scenic Highway 128 toward St. Helena, first stopping at Rutherford’s Beaulieu Vineyard这是ag体育正规持续经营时间最长的酒庄之一，然后前往 Louis M. Martini Winery to admire the renovated space while you sip.

其他值得考虑的具有历史意义的酒庄景点包括 Burgess Cellars, Beringer, Charles Krug (Napa Valley’s oldest winery), Markham and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, 在那里你可以品尝到标志性的葡萄酒，同时在每一站发现更多纳帕的酿酒传统.

Explore Downtown Napa

在一天的品酒之后，您将返回纳帕，在那里您可以徒步探索. Stroll over to the Oxbow Public Market, 在哪里你可以从无数的当地供应商那里购买纪念品和礼物, like locally-made olive oils or spirits. You can also grab a pre-dinner snack—think oysters from Hog Island Oyster Co., a mini Sweet S’mores or Chocolate Velvet cupcake from Kara’s Cupcakes, or housemade sourdough bagels from Loveski Deli. Thirsty? Grab a pint at Fieldwork Brewing Company.

Next, it’s time for more wine. 在众多的葡萄酒品酒室、酒吧或餐厅中驻足，享受欢乐时光 Arch & Tower for incredible river views and wine tasting, or Cadet, Carpe Diem, or Compline wine bars. 在著名的纳帕河畔餐厅预定晚餐 Morimoto or the romantic French bistro Angele, or head to The Grove at CIA 在花园的橄榄树下享用地中海风味的美食.

Stay

Reserve a hotel room in Napa 这样你就可以在步行距离内(或只是一小段车程)到市中心的许多餐馆, bars, and tasting rooms. The urban chic Andaz Napa is at the heart of downtown Napa 活动，阁楼风格的房间既时尚又诱人，而 Milliken Creek宁静的河边位置为客人提供了一个更安静的逃离市中心的场景只有几分钟.

Day 2

第二天，您将探索将“山谷”置于“ag体育正规”中的城镇.” The small towns of AG体育平台, Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena, and Calistoga are referred to by locals as the “UpValley,” so use that term if you want to blend in.

Breakfast in AG体育平台

For breakfast, head to chef Thomas Keller’s famous Bouchon Bakery in AG体育平台 for pastries and espresso. 门外很可能会有人排着队，但队伍移动得很快. 如果你想加倍下注，你可以去街对面的Mini Model. This is a smaller location of the locally-acclaimed Model Bakery. Get the English muffin. 它太棒了，奥普拉·温弗瑞甚至把它们直接空运到了她的家门口. For a more elegant brunch option, head to RH AG体育平台, 像牛油果烤面包片和黑森林培根这样的菜肴与他们的招牌RH含羞草完美搭配.

Visit a Boutique Winery

Because you visited some of the oldest, largest, and most popular wineries on Day 1, 接下来，在一家精品或家族酿酒厂预约，比较一下经验. 精品酒庄意味着几件事:更个性化的体验(有时是与酿酒师或酒主一起), less of a crowd, and super primo wines (especially Cabernet Sauvignon, which Napa Valley is best known for). 一些我们最喜欢的家族拥有和/或精品酒庄参观上谷是 Goosecross Cellars, Jessup Cellars, and Cliff Lede Vineyards in AG体育平台, Clif Family Winery and Trinchero in St. Helena, and Staglin Family Vineyard in Rutherford.

Also in Rutherford is the family-owned Sequoia Grove Winery, where a variety of tasting experiences await. 如果你想吃点零食撑到午餐时间，可以在品尝时加一盘应季奶酪和熟食.

Lunch in St. Helena

午餐时，继续向北行驶，停在原来的地方 Gott’s Roadside location in St. Helena. Formerly Taylor’s Automatic Refresher, when Gott’s took over, they kept the old, 50s-style roadside building, now a Napa Valley landmark. 可能要排队，但汉堡和奶昔是不容错过的. But, if you simply can’t wait, Clif Family Winery’s Bruschetteria food truck is equally enjoyable, 提供各种季节性的午餐，让你熬到晚餐. They’re both located at the gateway of St. Helena’s charming Main Street, 这样你就可以边走边吃完饭，顺便去当地的精品店逛逛.

Relax and Recharge in Calistoga

在下午的大部分时间里，开车从圣. Helena to Calistoga for some spa time. This quirky, 小镇最出名的是天然温泉中的治愈矿泉水, plus mud baths that’ll make your skin as smooth as a newborn. Make an appointment for a spa treatment ahead of time; there are so many local spas to choose from, from luxe resorts like Indian Springs and Solage to hip boutique gems like Dr. Wilkinson’s Backyard Resort & Mineral Springs to more intimate and classically restorative escapes at Golden Haven Hot Springs.

如果你有时间，可以沿着卡利斯托加的主要街道林肯大道漫步 CAMi Art + Wine 在欣赏当代艺术的同时品尝，或者在酒吧里喝一杯 Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery.

Dine at a World-Renowned Restaurant

For your last supper of the trip, 去ag体育正规最好的餐厅之一，从一个著名的厨师预订. St. Helena is home to Chris Cosentino’s Acacia House, Christopher Kostow’s The Charter Oak, and Colin Rupp’s Harvest Table. In AG体育平台, choose from the late Michael Chiarello’s Bottega, or Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry (if you can get in and money is no issue) or Ad Hoc. Wherever you end up, you won’t leave hungry or disappointed.

Stay

Book a hotel in St. Helena for the second night of your trip. 要想在葡萄树中享受真正的葡萄酒之乡之旅，就在亲密的地方找个房间吧 Wine Country Inn & Cottage or the luxurious (adults-only) Alila Napa Valley. For something more contemporary and convenient, check out the Wydown Hotel on St. Helena’s Main Street.
