Top 7 Things to do in Napa, CA
Napa Valley, California, largely known for its presence of vineyards and production of wine, has several other activities that we at Continuing Education Company recommend checking out if you’re feeling adventurous. One of the great things about a destination based conference is the well deserved leisure time before or after sessions. And, whether you're a wine connoisseur or a curious tourist, Napa Valley offers experiences that will leave you busy and amazed during your free time. Let's dive into what we think some of the top 7 activities are that will make your Napa Valley CME conference getaway unforgettable.
Wine Tours
By taking a guided tour through a historic Napa Valley winery you get the opportunity to learn about the process of crafting world-class wines with information on processes such as grape selection to fermentation and aging. Cap off your wine experience with arguably the general public’s favorite part of wine tours, the tasting. If you’re unsure of which of the 400 vineyards to visit, you can’t go wrong with the Rutherford Hill Winery, Chateau Montelena Winery, or Del Dotto Estate. Each of these wineries offers tours and tastings to the public.
Hot Air Balloon Ride
One of the more unique things that you can do in Napa. Take a peaceful hot air balloon ride above the Napa Valley at sunrise, taking in the beautiful vineyards below. This unforgettable experience offers a breathtaking perspective of the valley and creates some beautiful photo opportunities that will last a lifetime.
Bike Ride
Capture the beauty of Napa Valley at your own pace on a bike ride. You and your two wheels can pedal to beautiful wineries, vineyards, and other local spots along your journey. This is a great way to get some exercise and explore Napa in a unique, up-close way.
