You Should Go to Napa Right Now

With a late January 10-day forecast residing mainly in the mid-60s, and world class wine and restaurants available down pretty much any path you chose to roam, Napa is looking like a pretty good place to be right now. Here are a few of the highlights for those looking to throw caution to the wind and take the pre-spring excursion.

CABERNET RELEASE WEEKEND

Did someone say February 6th? Besides being the born date of the king of irie vibes, one Robert Nesta Marley, and also Aaron Burr, sir, it’s the last day of Cabernet Release Weekend at Bennett Lane Winery in Calistoga (Feb. 4-6, 2022). They’ll (Bennett Lane, not Bob or Burr) start you off with a splash of their 2018 Brut Sparkling wine before leading you through an incredible flight of 2018 and 2019 Cabs. #bennettlanewinery
