• Napa Valley Valley Thanksgiving: November invariably brings visions of holiday hustle and bustle and with it a fair amount of stress. Why not change your yearly routine and spend Thanksgiving in the tranquil capital of the Napa Valley, Calistoga. Lodging and spa packages are just the thing for a little pre-holiday getaway stress reliever. Many of the restaurants in Calistoga also go all out on Thanksgiving Day and offer feasts fit for Kings, Queens and all the rest! For a list of restaurants open on Thanksgiving day, click here.

• Come Spit on Our Floor Barrel Tasting: At Merryvale Winery in St Helena experience a Wine Country tradition on the second Saturday of the month.
