• Festival

  Napa Lighted Art Festival

  17 Jan – 15 FevLuzes e fogo

  Five weeks of free light installations along a walking route through downtown Napa and the riverfront, with building projections in the first week or so. It gives the quietest stretch of the wine year an evening reason to be in town. Fonte ↗

• Natureza

  Mustard season

  15 Jan – 20 Mar · normalmenteFlores silvestres e floradas

  Wild mustard fills the rows between bare vines from mid-January and is usually best in February. It is the quietest and cheapest stretch of the valley's year, and the only one where you can walk into a tasting room. Fonte ↗

• Temporada

  Crush

  1 Ago – 31 OutColheitaLotado

  Picking starts in early August with sparkling and whites and finishes with cabernet into late October. The valley smells of fermenting fruit, the gondolas own Highway 29 at dawn, and tasting fees are at their highest. Fonte ↗

• Risco

  Wildfire season

  1 Ago – 31 Out · normalmenteTemporada de fumaça

  Late summer and autumn are when Northern California burns, and 2017 and 2020 both cost the valley part of a vintage. Smoke can shut the tasting rooms and the power with them under a shutoff. Fonte ↗
