Sometimes we need to get away, no worries about the e-mails that should be answered, the work that should be finished, the pile of mail that should be organized. . . even if it’s just for half a day. Napa Valley is less than an hour from my house, and in November, it’s my favorite getaway. Not only are the vines incredibly beautiful, the weather is also fantastic (high 60s and sun in late November this year). I’ve gone there three Novembers and have not been disappointed by the colors or weather yet.
Need more inspiration to visit Napa Valley in the fall? Here it is:
More coming soon about what was special about our day in Napa Valley. In the meantime, find out why I love the diversity of California wine country.
Napa area is beautiful. Spent some time in Sonoma a few years ago in the Spring but never been there in the Fall.
You would love it because the colors there are so pretty. There is great hiking and some nice state parks in the area.
Great photos that should entice anyone to visit Napa Valley. I love the Sonoma/Napa wine country in any season, but Fall is very special.
I agree, fall there is special, but I enjoy Sonoma and Napa anytime. Who wouldn’t?
I love fall in the Napa Valley, but I was surprised by the glorious colors so late in November! We’ve been going too soon, I think… Your photos are incredible!
Lovely photos
Visited Napa in October a few years ago. We had torrential rain one day – so we went to Cakebread for a tour – not a bad way to kill time. I loved the area and would go back in a heartbeat.
We also flew into Santa Rosa airport – super easy and that way we avoided the San Francisco traffic.
I’ll have to check into Cakebread. Too bad about the rain, especially in October when it almost never rains around here.
beautiful!
Very pretty. Reminds me of Hunter Valley near Sydney.
Gorgeous shots. Definitely a perfect fall get away.
