November is here! 🍂 Here are 5 must-do experiences while you explore Napa Valley this month👇

🎶 Live Music

November nights come with a soundtrack in Napa. From jazz at Blue Note Napa to acoustic sessions at local wineries (JaM Cellars, we're looking at you 👀), it’s all about unwinding with good tunes and great wine.

🍁 Fall Foliage

The vineyards go all out in autumn, draping the hills in rich reds, oranges, and golds. Cruise down Silverado Trail or stop by spots like Peju Winery or Far Niente Winery for that picture-perfect view.

🛍️ Local Boutique Shopping

From one-of-a-kind finds to holiday treasures, Napa’s boutiques are a hidden gem. Explore First Street Napa, Do Napa , or wander through St Helena Tourism for handcrafted keepsakes, cozy fall style, and gifts with local flair.

🍷 Outdoor Wine Tastings

Chillier days make for cozy outdoor tastings. Grab a glass at wineries like Round Pond Estate and Silver Oak Cellars, and take in the vineyard views while the season serves up its best.

🎈 Hot Air Balloons

Clear November skies mean perfect conditions for a hot air balloon ride. Float over golden vineyards and rolling hills for views you’ll never forget. Napa Valley Balloons and Napa Valley Aloft Hot Air Balloon Rides has your ride ready.

November in Napa is pure magic!

If you love wine, you're going to want to celebrate Come Over October. 🍷

Inspired by Il Condominio, a restaurant in the most wine-centric town of Italy, Verona, who offered their clientele a free bottle of wine if customers agreed to relinquish their phones for the period of a meal, this initiative advocates for us to take a chance to stop, share stories, be together, and take a chance to reconnect in a world moving fast and furiously.

We'll be reaching for our favorite Napa Valley Cab, calling up some friends, and pouring generously. We hope you do too.
