How to Plan Fun Napa Valley Things to Do Beyond Wine Tasting

Napa Wine Country is full of surprises — and not all of them come in a glass. Between the tastings and the vineyards, there’s a whole world of ways to enjoy this incredible valley. From scenic drives and art walks to local markets and outdoor picnics, there are plenty of **Napa things to do** that make every visit unique.

Tips for Planning an Awesome Day

Start with a Scenic Drive Begin your day with a relaxed drive through Napa’s stunning valley floor, framed by mountain views and endless vines. Each season brings something different — mustard blooms in winter, lush greens in spring, and golden harvest tones in fall.

Pack a Picnic or Visit a Local Market There’s no shortage of picturesque spots to enjoy a meal outdoors. Grab something fresh from a local market — or join a Platypus Wine Tour, where a tasty picnic lunch among the vines is part of the fun.

Join a Group or Private Outing Our small-group tours visit charming, family-owned wineries and are perfect for making new friends. But if you’re looking to explore more than wine, our private tours can include non-wine stops — think local cheese shops, art galleries, scenic overlooks, or even craft breweries. It’s your day, your way.

Explore More Activities After your tour, wander through a downtown art walk, hike one of Napa’s scenic trails, or take in the sunset from a quiet overlook. Beyond the tastings, it’s the people, stories, and unexpected finds that make Napa so memorable.
