What time of year is the best to visit the Napa Valley?
The Napa Valley offers diverse experiences four seasons a year. February and March feature the many events that surround the mustard festival, a special time when the vineyards are filled with the gorgeous glowing yellow mustard flowers. Springtime celebrates the first buds and the beginning of the grape growing cycle. Summer is filled with events surrounding the St. Helena and Calistoga farmers markets, and an abundance of outdoor activities including hot air balloon rides, hiking and biking through the extensive trails that the Napa Valley has to offer. August through October marks the exciting harvest season with the annual crush that fills the air with the smell of fermenting grapes. The holiday season from Thanksgiving to the New Year is a wonderful time to visit and celebrate with family and friends.
