Take a wine country tour shuttle (such as the one offered at NapaValley.com). It leaves from San Francisco and stops at four wineries. A picnic lunch is included as well as transportation.
Arrange for winery tours. Most wineries allow you to experience the inner workings of the operation. You get to see how the wine gets from the vineyard to the table ... and have a taste, too.
Cycle around Napa Valley. The Eagle Cycling Club is based in Napa and takes a tour through Napa Valley periodically. Join as an active, family, racer or student.
Hire a limo or limo bus and arrange your own tour. Going through a tour company is not a must. You can just as easily set your own itinerary and stop at various wineries. The staff members at the wineries will be more than happy to guide you around their business.
Drive along Highway 29 to visit small and boutique wineries such as Turnbull Wine Cellars, Peju Province Winery, Grgich Hills Winery and Merryvale Vineyards. As you're driving, keep an eye out for the entrances and pull into the wineries on the right side of the road. Highway 29 is very busy so making a left turn may be difficult.
Picnic at a winery. There are close to 20 Napa Valley wineries with a permit for picnicking. See the list at Wine Country Getaways.
Stay at inns or bed and breakfasts along the way. Map it out, so you're staying at different places that are spread out through the Napa Valley.
Eat at savory restaurants. There are many to choose from. Among the most popular are Annalien, Auberge Du Soleil, Bistro Jeanty, Celadon, Press and Tra Vigne.
Tour the region aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train. It's a three-hour journey from Napa through the wine valley, to the quaint village of St. Helena and back. While on the train, you can enjoy lunch or dinner as you view the scenery.
