Any "Must See" spots in Napa

in TTC After a Loss
Have any of y'all been to Napa before?  I'm here for the week for a business trip (hence why I'm quiet this week- duty calls and so does the wine!).  Not sure that I will have time to actually visit anything, but just in case I'm soliciting suggestions. 

Side note - the hotel I'm staying at has an outdoor shower with each of the rooms.  I haven't decided if I'm going to try that or not.  LOL.

    Oh so jealous...
    If you have any time to visit wineries, my favorites are Del Dotto (kinda pricey to do a tour, but well worth it...they take you to the cellar and you try wine straight out of the barrel)
    and Castillo de Amorosa -  a winery built like a castle. Very cool.

    Have a wonderful time!

    Have fun! Second on the outdoor shower. 

    The last time I was out there I spent some time at the mud baths at the Indian Springs Calistoga spa. Their pools are amazing! Very relaxing and highly recommended. (The mud bath itself was a little strange during, but I felt awesome after.)

    I love Napa! We used to live in CA, and that was one of my favorite. This will be a little long, so I apologize in advance.

    Domaine Carneros is one of my favorites. Joseph Phelps sometimes has a wine elements class as a tasting. The Carneros Inn is a great place to stay, but it sounds like you have that covered. The cafe at the inn has a great breakfast. Schramsburg is great if you like champagne. Rutherford grill is good for a casual bite between tastings. Far Niente has gorgeous views, and picturesque drive. They also have wine caves and restored old cars. Jarvis also has wine caves, with a waterfall. At Frogs Leap, you can taste while you tour the gardens, including a veggie garden. I don't remember a lot of the restaurants (for obvious reasons!) but they are all delicious.

    If you have any questions about any of them, shoot me a PM! And have fun!!

    I was just in Napa for like a day. We went to a couple of wineries nothing special. My husband is in to distilling so we went to the Napa Distillery tasting "room" (more like slot) in the Oxbow Public Market in downtown. That was kind of cool. 

    I also agree with the outdoor shower- although it looks rainy for the rest of the week- maybe that will enhance the experience? 

    I hope you get a chance to enjoy yourself.

    Definitely test out the shower - sounds awesome!

    So jealous!!!  I've only been there once and went on a wine tour, but couldn't tell you what wineries we went to since there were many stops and the wine makes you forget.  ;)  Definitely try the outdoor shower, that sounds very interesting.

    You will love NAPA! It's the greatest place on earth! The best vineywards are on the road called the Silverado Trail. Our friends family has a vineyard called William Harrison; it's a petite vineyard and you must check it out!  Kuleto has great views!! Artesa is also worth checking out.

    Tasting fees are usually $10-$15 (for 4 small tastings) although the big guys like Silver Oak can charge up to $50 for a tasting. Most tasting rooms close at 4:30 so please accordingly!

    Also if you can, check out Healdsberg. It's a really great tiny wine town. The restaurant Spoon Bar is unbelieveable!

    So jealous!  I also highly recommend the outdoor shower.  I had one at a hotel in the Anderson Valley that was amazing!  Don't know if you will have time for a dinner out but Ad Hoc was so so good when we went.

    @Mrspipp - I'm actually staying at The Carneros Inn :-) Funny.  ANd we get to go to Domaine Carneros so glad to hear you like it.

    For the record, it's been raining --- like never see the sun / hard to sleep raining --- So I haven't tried the outdoor shower.  I will attempt to do that when it's not raining and report back :-)

    I've never been but I am in for the report back about the outdoor shower :D 

    Have fun! 
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

    THe outdoor shower is literally a door off of the indoor shower and it leads to a private shower right out in the open.  No one can see (except maybe NASA)... If it ever stops raining I'll use it.  At a minmum I'll take a picture for you guys :-)
