This October, pack up your car for a stunning road trip or snag a fun rental – perhaps a convertible – and experience the vibrance of Fall paired with fragranced breezes of fermenting grapes in Napa Valley during harvest! But fall doesn't stop there – the golden and crimson hues last well into late November in the vineyards. Leaf peeping in Napa Valley can be enjoyed in a variety of ways – on foot or bike, by car, 4x4 or paddle, or even by air, and last, but certainly not least, while sipping and dining on some of the best wines and food in the world.
