Ah, Napa Valley in harvest season—it’s like the world’s most delightful conveyor belt from grape to glass! 八月至十月, there’s something in the air as Napa transforms with the buzz of vineyard workers, 新鲜葡萄的香味, and, oh, those grapes? They’re on a one-way journey to becoming some fantastic wine.

但纳帕的收获不仅仅是酿酒. 想和酿酒师共进午餐吗? Or perhaps you’ve always wanted a behind-the-scenes peek at the winemaking process? 好吧，这是你的季节! 从独特的庆祝活动到充满活力的葡萄园景观, Napa Valley during harvest is an experience you won’t forget. 这是你的参观指南.

收获季节品酒

在你锁定品尝预订之前, do a quick check to see if the winery offers any special tours of their property, vineyards, 或者是收获期间的酿酒设备, because it’s always a treat to see winemakers and winery teams working their magic.

You can never go wrong with a picnic amidst the vines at Merryvale (这是典型的纳帕活动，对吧?), but if you happen to be traveling with a larger group, don’t miss Merrryvale’s 混合的经验. This special experience will find you and your friends crafting your own unique blend from four different barrel samples. The kicker? You get to bottle up your own one-of-a-kind blend and take it home with you.

Up for a stroll through vibrant gardens and picturesque vineyards? Then head to Burgess Cellars 他们的La Terre体验. You’ll visit the winery’s pollinator gardens and vineyards before sitting down for a curated selection of Burgess’ handcrafted wines. 对于那些欣赏戏剧风景的人来说， Somerston Estate is your stage. 选择他们的葡萄园之旅和品酒, or plan ahead to attend one of their Private Winemaker Lunches or Dinners.

Of course, if you’d rather kick back and let someone else take the wheel, book a tour with Beau Wine Tours. 他们提供了几条ag体育正规葡萄酒之旅供你选择, 不管你是不是纳帕的新手, 豪厄尔山的葡萄酒狂热者, or simply fancy an afternoon exploring Spring Mountain’s gems.

One last thing before we move on: don’t overlook any of the WineCountry经验 在ag体育正规提供. You can’t go wrong with any of them (they’ve been vetted by a picky crowd&emdash;ahem, we mean us), but we are seriously loving the 方正珍藏品酒会 & 苏利文卢瑟福餐厅的餐前小吃 宁静的环境! 令人难以置信的美酒和美食!) as well as 克里夫家族的西玛葡萄酒 & Food Experience (did someone say single-vineyard Cabernet with culinary bites? Yes and yes).
