Napa Valley wine tasting tour. I am planning a trip to San Francisco and I wanted to stop by Napa Valley, which is an hour away (is it worth the ride?), and so I was wondering what a tour is like and which tours would be best. I did a quick research, but they seem all so similar. Also how would it be like? Do we walk from one vineyard to another and try it like that or would we walk into a cellar and try it that way. Help! I have so many questions! I also heard about bike tours around the vineyards. Is that possible and if so how was it?

At Napa Valley Wineries, do they allow minors to accompany adults? My friend is taking me to Napa Valley for wine tasting; however, i'm under the legal drinking age. But am I still allowed to accompany her to wineries without tasting the wine? Like, she can sit there and taste the wine; I can just sit next to her and enjoy the atmosphere or taking pictures or something. As long as I dont touch the alcohol, the winery's owner probably won't give me a hard timer right? Thanks!

What should I do for my fiance's 21st birthday? He is turning 21 in September. The issue is I won't be 21 by that point.

Napa Valley Lodging? My boyfriend and I are planning on taking a trip into Napa at the end of February (weekend of the 23rd). We'll be staying only one night (Saturday) and hopefully doing some wine tasting and fine dining (not too expensive). What's an affordable, yet NICE place to stay? We're open to resorts, b&b's and hotels. I'm hoping to spend no more than $200 for the stay, a bit more is okay, less would be GREAT - stays w/ packages are great as well, if wine tasting and meals are included I'm willing to spend more. Any suggestions -- please include whether you have stayed at the place or not - some of the reviews I've read online are pretty polar (1's and 10's, no 5's or 6's) I'd really like to hear from someone who's actually had an experience with the location. THANKS! oh and if you'd like to throw in restaurants that'd be nice too! =o) Hello all - I've looked online some more and it looks like I'll need to spend more than 200... so I'm willing to spend $300 or a bit more... hopefully that will make a difference!
Share a story or experience that you did for your lover or the one you love.. and it touched them deeply..? Mine wasn't really that great but It touched her alot... A week before graduation ( After graduation she will be leaving SF for good) I promised her that we would drive to napa valley for wine tasting the last time. All she wanted was just to buy some good wine to bring home to her country. But I did more than that, I booked a winery tour train and we had lunch and tour around napa valley. Than we drove to sanoma, she thought it was a day trip but I suprised her because I already book a hotel and spent the night there. (Btw, we didn't do anything sexually, I really love and respect her) At the end of the trip I bought her a bottle of wine that print her name on it for souvenir. She was so touched she cried.. Now I wanna hear yours.. if it touched me reading it. I will give u a 10 points.

The best wine in the world? A little different. Not the most expensive, not the best you have ever heard of, just the best you've ever had (white and red). What food paired best with it? I live near Napa Valley and deal frequently with wine. So I am really interested, what wine people think is "taste wise" the best they have ever had.... Already thank you!
Napa or Sonoma? I want to go wine tasting. Everyone tells me the Napa valley has become so commercial and that the Sonoma Valley is so much better. I plan to visit both since they are nearby but would like to spend most of my time in Sonoma. Is it a good idea? If you have been to both valleys, how do they compare in terms of: - atmosphere - landscapes - wine & restaurant quality - accomodation prices Any additional input will be much appreciated. Thanks everyone for answering! All the answers helped and I wasn't aware there was interesting architecture. It'll be a great addition to our trip as we both love fine architecture too.
Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon wine for less than $25 a bottle—what do you recommend? My favorite wine is Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. I want to branch out from Napa Valley Cabs and experience some good Sonoma Cabs. So that you understand my taste, the following are my favorite Napa Valley Cabs under $30 a bottle: Clos Du Val, Charles Krug, Markham, and Napa Cellars. The one Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon that I tried and liked was an ’02 St. Francis. That bottle motivated me to taste other Sonoma Cabs.
Who has been to the Sonoma race? Seems like a good vacation idea..?

Am I pregnant? I had both ept and first response? This morning i woke up and peed on the e.p.t on my first urine, which i waited for about 3 minutes for the result; and it came out negative at that time. Later on the day, i took a trip to napa valley and had about 6-7 different tastes of wines. By the time i got home around 10 pm, I noticed that the test had become positive. The type of ept that i have has 2 windows, one has only one line and the other one would show a + sign for positive. So, when i came home, the positive had appeared; however, one line is clearly much lighter than the other line yet you can still tell its a +. So my bf and I went to grab another pregnancy test with first response, and it came out negative with a very clear one pink line. But over the other discussions, it could be the effect of not a morning urine. Can someone please help me out here? Would the wine tastings affect my result of the pregnancty test? Or is the negative result was simply because it was not my first urine? *iPeed 4 times 2day
