I did a quick weekend trip to Napa in February 2018. The vines weren't full of grapes at that time but hundreds of fields were in bloom with bright yellow mustard flowers so the views while driving all over the valley were GORGEY. Since I was there for a very short amount of time, I only made it to a few vineyards (see below). But beyond the wine, the food in this area is bangin' -- so the vast majority of my notes are about where to eat.
