8) Napa Valley

If you’re looking for a weekend of great wine, Napa Valley is the place for you. Located northeast of the Bay area, it has over 400 wineries, ranging from large to small privately owned vineyards. There are several ways of wine tasting. There’s wine bar tasting: for a set fee, you go up to a bar, and sample from the list of wines being provided. Then there’s sit down tasting, which is more expensive: you’ll be seated somewhere stylish to sample the wines, and your wine compere will explain the distinctive qualities of each of the wines on offer. Walk around tasting is also popular, where you are given tours and samples by your host, as you move from one location to another. With taxi and train services readily available, you’ll not have to worry about drinking and driving, which makes the experience safe and enjoyable.
