Things to do in Yountville

Embark on a wine culture and tasting tour in a renowned wine region with an Italian guide, and even take a bottle home with you. The whole experience was incredibly enjoyable, and the Italian-style castle made for fantastic photo opportunities.

We were really excited to taste Opus One at their Napa winery last November. They are remodeling and expanding the tasting area, so we had a tasting in a smaller but nicely decorated room set up for tasting with hightop tables and some regular tables and chairs. The service was very nice and our host was a young fellow from France who was very pleasant.

I took the three-hour tour which also included lunch, and was very satisfied with the luxurious time. The train only went as fast as a bicycle, so many cars passed us, but they waved and pointed their cameras at us, so I realized that this was one of the highlights. The wine and lunch were also different from a normal restaurant, as the view from the train window changed, so I enjoyed more than just the taste. Considering the price, I would hesitate to do it again, but I can definitely say that it's a tour worth taking and I would definitely recommend it to others.
