AND this should be PART OF THE PRICE... Hotel Destination Fee ($30/day) w/ Daily Yoga Classes, Bike Rental and S'mores. It is BULLSHIT how they lower the price and have this fee outside of your cost... LAWSUITE!!!!

So the price is $499 + $60 + TAXES (will be very close to $84.00)... TOTAL COST IS 643.00 NOT $499.00.

Sounds like you've never left the US

Never left the US? Don't know why you say this.

Nothing really to see in Napa. I live 30 miles away and stopped visiting their wineries 20+ years ago. Tastings run $60 on the low to $135 (Mayacamas Winery with reservations needed). Napa wineries are in deep financial trouble (actually many wineries as well) with many selling out at huge losses or going bankrupt. One could see this train wreck coming 3 years ago with massive plantings and wine consumption turning downward. Standing 3 deep at a Napa/Sonoma tasting and listening to wine snobs from the Bay Area/San Jose/SF who have never even touched grapes on the vine is not enjoyable. If you want great wine that's affordable and with beautiful scenery, head up to our Sierra foothills to Placer, El Dorado and Amador Counties where many don't charge for tastings, owner or winemaker is most often on site and ready to answer questions and all will pour for a long as you want. Their reds are outstanding! It's a no pressure, no traffic, enjoyable outing with beautiful scenery and views of the snow capped Sierras in the background.

I agree. Napa is nothing special and is a classic example of brand inflation. You can easily find a $20 Spanish grenache that is just as good as a $100 napa cab. Imo the wine industry reckoning is well deserved. They became snobs over a drink that is just fermented grapes. Heck, peasants drank it everyday back in the middle ages. And the only differences in the wine are the grape variety and soil. Other than that, its all the same.
All the tariffs in the world won't help the domestic wine industry. They priced themselves out and now they are trying to lure customers back in with these "deals." They can lower the price all they want, can't fight demographics and boomers pulling the ladder from under themselves.

Agree with you on Placer being a great value. I've been there. Great fertile soil in that area.

Great deal-in for this one

if you have never been to Napa, lower your expectations as it's big on pretention, but low on actual beauty and things to do. Go spend the money at a B&B on our Pacific Coast with views to die for. There are also wineries located on the coast. Anywhere north of San Francisco near the ocean is heavenly.

I actually have one of those vineyard owners as a neighbor. They don't live on the winery clearly. I have no idea how the wine compares since I don't drink and I don't know how the experience of the winery/vineyard compares but I do know that the traffic is significantly less and the crowds are not an issue.

I usually stay in Santa Rosa or along the highway in one of the other cities along there and then drive to the coast. Just paid $150 a night for the Sheraton and it was really nice.

First thing is... don't do Napa, do Paso Robles.Napa was too expensive 25 years ago... to the point it is not enjoyable. Paso is still affordable, over 300 wineries. And the wine is good at Both places... actually, when ever I buy a bottle of wine in the stores, I always make sure it comes from Paso Robles and I have yet to find a bad bottle of wine. I've done Napa (once) and I have done Paso Robles (over six times) and I live in the East coast. But to me Paso Robles is like Napa from 30 years ago... it is getting expensive.And if you do go to Paso... make sure you hit the Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort and Spa... you don't have to stay their overnight but you can go for a few hours... very private hottube on hillside. So... 20 years ago it was $5/person per hour. TODAY.. a two-hour soak for two people would generally cost between $76 and $96, depending on the day of your visit. But I still think it is worth it.

Cute flex there by you but if you are actually traveling from the east coast and are trying to boast about your ability to uncover inexpensive wine experiences, you would do better research and would actually come up with something useful like going to Portland and traveling to the Willamette Valley or driving across to the hidden gems of vineyards that are in Washington. A trip over to Walla Walla and the tri cities for example. A book report on Sideways isn't really that informative.

I was lucky that I constantly worked for two weeks in CA and my company would pay the cost of the weekend. So I choose Napa once and Paso six or seven times. We also did LA, deathvalley, Vegas, some national parks, san diegao, san fran, Santa Cruz... etc...

We always flew back with two cases of wine and lets say I still have five cases down stairs in the garage but there is a 50%+ chance of it being vinegar right now.
