San Francisco Napa Valley Day Trip Winery Suggestions

If you are coming to the Napa Valley, you are probably interested in visiting some wineries—and your choice is virtually unlimited. If you are interested in learning about the wine making process and enjoying your tasting room experience, it is best to limit yourself to a few wineries a day. If you will be visiting Golden Haven Spa, we will be happy to provide you with a self-guided Napa Valley winery guide that will offer you complimentary tastings and discounts at eleven of Napa Valley’s best wineries.  To view the guide, click here.  If you only have limited time, here are three winery destitations, all within a 5 minute drive of Calistoga.

Clos Pegase Winery is one of Napa Valley’s best winery destinations. Designed by renowned architect Michael Graves, the winery is a must-stop for Napa Valley visitors. The winery features over 20,000 square feet of caves, and the grounds include sculptures by world-famous artists. In addition to offering wine tasting, you can sign up for a free tour.

Frank Family Vineyards also offers winery tours and wine tasting. Its wines are produced in small quantities, and the majority are sold primarily at the winery. Located in the historic Larkmead winery in Calistoga (the 3rd oldest winery in Napa), Frank Family Vineyards is co-owned by longtime Disney executive Rich Frank.

At the northernmost end of the Napa Valley, where the valley floor meets the Mayacamas Mountains, you will find Calistoga’s wine tasting treasure, Bennett Lane Winery. This is the perfect spot to start your winery tours at the top of the valley in the morning or to end your touring in the afternoon, as the sun sets on the Palisades. Bennett Lane Winery has a tasting room open 7 days of a week, and their staff will be happy to give you a personalized tour of this small boutique winery with stunning views of Mt. Saint Helena.
