The weekend plan
Two days.
Your kind of Napa.
A flexible first day, then one carefully chosen part of the valley.
Day one: Napa and Yountville
If you arrive that morning: start with a flexible meal at Oxbow Public Market and time to settle into your accommodation. Do not tie your arrival to a non-refundable early tasting.
If you already stayed overnight: choose a confirmed CHANDON experience, then a lunch reservation in Yountville. Bouchon Bistro is one option to consider. Allow travel time and a buffer between the two.
Keep the late afternoon open for the town and finish near your accommodation. The arrival-day and full-day plans are alternatives, not a checklist to combine.
Day two: choose one direction
Option A · Central valley
Rutherford & St. Helena
Build the day around a Frog’s Leap appointment. Consider Rutherford Grill for a meal, then leave time to explore St. Helena or return to your base. A second tasting is optional, not the default.

Calistoga
Choose a Sterling experience and allow time for the gondola journey. Keep your meal around Calistoga; Solbar is one possibility. Add spa time only if you have a separate confirmed reservation and enough time.
Sterling profileAdapt it before you reserve
- Use the actual length of each experience; no appointment times in this plan are confirmed.
- If you leave for an airport on day two, shorten the plan instead of adding a rushed final tasting.
- Arrange sober transportation for every tasting day.
- Set separate budgets for accommodation, meals and experiences.
