Napa Valley September Events
CALISTOGA
FARMERS MARKET: This weekly event is in full swing
by September with the Wine Country's bounty available in all
its glory. From fresh fruits and vegetables to flowers and
herbs and from homemade Tamales to Indian Somas, the sensory
delights are endless.
There is often live entertainment and one may sample some of
the local wares while enjoying resident musicians. Handcrafts
and gift items can
also be found so don't forget to take a little bit of the Napa
Valley
Home. This event takes place Saturdays from 8:30am to 12:30pm
from
June through September at the Old Gliderport, 1546 Lincoln Avenue
in
downtown Calistoga. Call 707.942.0808 for information.
- ROMANTIC FALL GETAWAY: In September one of
the most popular romantic
getaways is a weekend for two at one of the Wine Country's premier
spas, dinner and wine at a world renowned Napa Valley restaurant
and
last but certainly not least, a once in a lifetime balloon ride
over
the Napa Valley during the fall harvest. There are several ballooning
companies to choose from but it is important to note that they
all
have early sunrise flights as this is when conditions are best
so do
stay overnight the night before.
- THE CRUSH: September in the Napa Valley is
synonymous with the grape
harvest. By the middle of September the Crush is in full swing
and
there is no better time to experience the Wine Country at its
finest
than during the fall harvest. The leaves on the vines are beginning
to
change to bright red, yellow and orange providing a beautiful
backdrop
to your Wine Country experience. During September many Napa Valley
wineries have barrel tastings, unique winery tours, and wine
and
cheese-parings as well as allowing visitors to view the Crush
up close
and personal. For winery listings, individual events and more
