Best Napa Wineries and Venues

Why would you ask a limousine service about the best Napa wineries? What does Ecko limo know about wine?

Well, because Ecko limo does so many limousines wine tours every week, we have gotten to know the Napa vineyards pretty well. Clients who like to do their wine tasting in class come to us. So when we recommend the best Napa wineries we are not only speaking from our experience but from what our discerning clients have taught us about the best Napa wineries.

From that we have learned about some very cool wine country getaways. Here are some ideas to whet your wine tasting appetite:

Wineries with wine caves: A number of the best Napa wineries give you tours of the dark chambers where their wines are aged. For those who love to mix learning about viticulture with their wine country getaways, standing in the dark chilled recesses of these subterranean catacombs can be quite the treat. Our favorites include Clos Pagase, Far Niente, and Paoletti Vineyards.

Best Wine Country Getaways for Picnics: Want to get some fine wines, some sandwiches, some cheese, and nice blanket and then head out onto a field to enjoy a breezy afternoon with just you and your party. If this is the kind of R&R you had in mind, we recommend either the Bale Grist Mill State Park, the Clos du Val winery or the bucolic shades of Rutherford Hill.

Best Napa Restaurants: If you prefer table clothes and candle light to picnic baskets and blankets, then Napa has a number of offerings to meet your fine dining needs after a long hard day of wine tastings and cheese snacks. Our recommendations here include Cole’s Chop House for steaks; Morimoto for Sushi; and La Toque for French. All of these are excellent venues for wedding anniversaries (or even proposals) as well.

Best Romantic B&Bs for Napa Wine Country Getaways: Looking for a beautiful little Bed and Breakfast to spare you the long drive at the end of your luxury wine tours? Here are some of our favorite quaint little lodgings in the Napa Valley: the Beazley House, the Old World Inn, or, our personal favorite, the Candlelight Inn.

Best Napa Wineries for Weddings: And if you are looking to get hitched here, and want to find a venue with panoramic views or a quaintly rustic setting that can handle your wedding party, here are some suggestions: the Auberge du Soleil is a great outdoor spot for weddings; while the Vintage Estate offers beautiful stonework in the style of an Italian Villa.

Now, you could of course drive yourself or take the Wine Tour train like so many do, but if you would rather someone else do the driving so that everyone in your party can enjoy themselves, and if you want to make the occasion truly memorable, there is not better way of doing so than by booking one of Ecko Limo’s late model luxury vehicles.
