I was born and raised in Napa; 1982-2006. The actual city of Napa has changed a lot. They’ve been making it more touristy. I honestly haven’t been back since 2011 (my mom finally moved to MT in 2012, so no reason to go back). Yountville, St Helena, and Calistoga are the tourist destinations for the wineries, but Alexander Valley has some nice wineries. I’d take the drive along Silverado Trail to see all the vineyards. Petaluma is super cute too. And the vineyards and wineries have been expanding to the Sonoma and Mendocino coasts. Highly recommend seeing Mendocino. Cute town.

Hubby and I loved our visit to Napa Valley! We stayed at Auberge du Soleil and had an exquisite dinner there! They also had an AMAZING hummingbird garden to still through. We couldn’t get a table at The French Laundry with even a three month advance, so we ate at Mustards Grill which was wonderful. We loved Calistoga and spent a night there at an incredible B&B. We also did a mud bath at a spa that overlooked a huge field of Lavender! If you go back, I recommend you take a glider plane ride which is a breathtaking hour of soundless soaring over the valleys!

Saint Hell-ee-nah. You're in my back yard :) This entire area is really fun to do before you have kids. It's really lovely. However, near Sonoma is Train Town...great for kids! St. Helena has a world renowned cardiac center up in the mountains. It's such a unique area. Healdsburg in Sonoma County (west of where you are) is a fun (though expensive) town for shopping and dining. And someday you should road trip up the northern California coast and into the Oregon coast for some of the best little towns, scenery and gorgeous redwoods and beaches. A MUST do in life! Fly into Oakland next time...small airport, easy onto the freeway and very close to Napa area things. ;)

It is so weird seeing Napa/ Sonoma/St Helena through your eyes. I have all of my dad’s family in Sonoma so I have gone there all my life. If you decide to go back to Sonoma I definitely recommend going earlier in the days for the shops like you mentioned. They also have a cute farmers market on Tuesday’s. I can’t speak too much about the food as I usually don’t eat out when I visit but I do have a favorite restaurant in Sonoma that I would definitely recommend; it is called Tasca Tasca and it is a Portuguese tapas restaurant. I would go every week if I could go, the passionfruit moose is divine and a must! I am not sure if they denote gluten free but if they do that would be a great place, I would recommend to make a reservation as it does get busy on the weekends. Gott’s is also a popular burger place that is in Napa and St Helena. In Napa it is next to the oxbow. Generally for the Napa and Sonoma Area it’s best to go earlier in the day as they are smaller towns and their downtown areas close early. Hope this helps :).

Michel, you said you didn’t know the difference between Champagne & sparkling wine! Champagne is a type of sparkling wine that is made from grapes from the Champagne region of France only. When most people say “champagne” they are really just thinking of sparkling wine in general, which can be made from any type of grape, including Napa grapes! My favorite sparkling wine & my recommendation to customers who want “champagne” without the obscene price tag is Prosecco , which is made from Italian grapes. (I like my sparkling wine to be “brut” or “extra brut,” meaning it’s dry and has little sugar. But you can find sweet sparkling wines too!) Cheers! 🥂
