I’ve Been to over 60 Napa Area Wineries

Napa Valley and wine is kinda my thing even though I live in MN. I make it a point to go at least once a year. We have gone every year since 2017. I would go more often but I do love to visit other cities and countries. Napa is also getting really expensive So we have been exploring to Sonoma and Healdsburg too! Below are all of the wineries I have been to.

The ones on bold are highly recommended. They are listed in no particular order but next to them will be a fun fact on why to visit or a reason to skip! Many will be highlighted to link you to the blog that explains each experience in further detail.
