Mellow wine tasting and tours for our favorite Napa Valley biodynamic wine producer. Reservations are recommended but for a tasting, but they are required for tours. Tastings can include food pairings and therefore costs a bit more than other places, but you get your fair share of wine at a decent price. Please note, this place can get busy and staff can be inattentive. We still love Sinskey and their crew there are good people. Combine that with great prices and classics like their original Carneros Merlot and P.O.V. Right Bank blend, Pinot Blanc and Zinfandel are classic Carneros wines.

Drop your car off at valet parking at Auberge du Soleil and ask to sit outside on the patio for bar service (no reservations). Amazing views, but super pricey. After your glass of Schramsberg, ask the art gallery for a self guided tour of their outdoor sculpture gallery. This gives you access to the hotel grounds, it's a real treat. Don't tell everyone about this!
