This post has been updated to include a roundup of my favorite boutique properties and vacation rentals in Napa.
From South Africa’s Cape Winelands to Prosecco vending machines in Italy, I always jump at the chance to sip my way through the world’s most beautiful vineyards. Luckily for me as a California girl, some of the top vintages come from my very own home state.
You’ve probably heard that Napa Valley and Sonoma County have wine tastings that are second to none, and that is just one of the many things that make this region so special.
In fact, there is so much to see and do in Northern California that I’d recommend spending at least a week exploring it all.
Of course, you’ll want to spend at least two nights in Napa Valley and Sonoma County. While you’re there, make the most of every moment with these cool Airbnbs.
