Whether you’re planning a romantic New Year’s getaway or a winter honeymoon, Napa Valley offers the perfect holiday destination. The picturesque valley twinkles with decorative lights and brims with festive cheer. Cabernet Season falls between November and April, making winter an ideal time to sip on these full-bodied wine varieties. Before booking, consider the following advantages of reserving a holiday rental in this charming region. 

Why You Should Book a Napa Valley Holiday Rental

1. Holiday Gatherings

Winter is the most exciting time of year in Napa Valley due to the number of community and cultural activities offered. From three-course, five-star French Christmas Eve dinners to lavish parties with live music, there’s so much to explore in Napa during wintertime. With a wine glass in hand, you’ll enjoy opportunities to attend some of the most coveted social events in the area. 

2. Festive Atmosphere

Whether you hop on Santa’s sleigh for a wine-and-gourmet-cookie tasting or visit a holiday party, when you head to Napa Valley, you’ll enjoy a vacation without missing out on merry spirits. While exotic or tropical destinations may make you crave the familiar trappings of seasonal cheer, a Napa Valley vacation will allow you to enjoy the holidays in mild, lovely weather. 

3. Shorter Lines

Although Napa offers myriad events during the holidays, fall and winter are still considered the off-season. The wineries and everyone’s favorite attractions remain open year-round, though, which means you’ll beat the crowds and enjoy the scenery at a slower pace. The events and tours also tend to be a bit more intimate, so it’s easier to ask questions and immerse yourself in the fine wines and rich history of the valley. 

Enjoy a luxurious stay in the heart of Napa Valley by booking a holiday rental with The Vine & Rose in Calistoga, CA.

After a long day of wine tasting, unwind in the meditation room, the spa, or visit the steam room and infrared sauna. Guests may also elect to hire an in-home chef, catering service, or butler.
