Wineries are open year round and are always available for tours and tastings. Although there are a few national chain hotels in the area, most visitors prefer to absorb the local flavor by staying in a local Inn or Bed and Breakfast. You can also find vacation rentals that allow you to stay in secluded winery locations. Prices for these vary depending on size of the rental, length of time desired, and time of year. Although it is possible to reach Napa Valley by air or water, neither of these options is convenient.
Reduced fares are available for students and seniors.
Because most visitors drive in to Napa, car rentals are more difficult to find than in most tourist destinations. There are a few, but even most national chains don't have much in the area. If you're looking to put a little style into your drive, you might want to consider renting a classic car. These are available from several locations. There isn't a convenient way to access the Napa Valley airport unless you fly your own plane or take a charter.
