Tour Vin – Holiday Happenings in Napa Valley

Published on: September 27th, 2017

It’s not too early to book your holiday plans in Napa Valley! The Napa Valley Harvest is well under way with red grapes being picked as I type. De-stemming, the crush and the fermentation process will be the focus in the weeks to come. At the same time, the entire Valley is preparing for holiday celebrations that offer something for the entire family.

Napa Valley Santa Wine Train
A favorite holiday activity enjoyed by the young ones is the Napa Valley Santa Wine Train. This 90-minute, Christmas train ride to the North Pole offers music, games and entertainment, as well as refreshments. The storyline of the ride is that the Jolly Bear was left behind at the train station and will not make it to Santa’s workshop to be officially named Santa Train Conductor Bear. The happy outcome is what you’d expect, and the ride ends with a toy teddy bear for the kids!

Holidays in Yountville:The Brightest Town in Napa Valley
If twinkling lights and beautiful street décor are to your liking, check out Holidays in Yountville: The Brightest Town in Napa Valley. Yountville, known for its award winning restaurants, hotels and tasting rooms, goes all out in creating a magical holiday experience. Walking through the town, guests enjoy the glow of thousands of lights, holiday music and beautiful, decorated shops.

The Restaurant of Meadowood Napa Valley
Many of our guests have visited The Restaurant at Meadowood Napa Valley and have had nothing but great things to say about the food, wine and service. No surprise here – it’s rated a three-star Michelin restaurant.

During the holiday season, Meadowood also offers something special – The Twelve Days of Christmas Charitable Extravaganza. Beginning December 8, the restaurant invites well-known international chefs to collaborate daily with Chef Kostov to create a unique dining experience. This year’s celebration benefits a non-profit organization that provides elementary school scholarships to young children.

Napa B&B Holiday Tour & Taste
How would you like to tour eight to ten different B&Bs while enjoying food, wine and music?  This very unique holiday experience, the Napa B&B Holiday Tour & Taste, is held in December, and is a great way to visit some of the B&Bs you’ve been thinking of booking for future trips. Reservations are limited to this event.

Have a safe and sane Halloween!

Cheers!
