Morning light rides the low fog that slips through Napa Valley’s rows of vines, and your guide eases an SUV down a quiet county road. The day is intentionally slow: four tasting rooms, a relaxed lunch stop, and an itinerary built around the varieties you want to try. Conversation turns from vine to glass as you move from cooler-climate pinot plots to sun-warmed cabernet slopes.
