Family friendly activities in Napa Valley

From hiking miles of trails and kayaking the Napa River to sipping grape juice at family-friendly wineries, picnicking in the vineyards, and private backyard movie nights at luxury resorts — Napa Valley is an ideal destination for families of all sizes and kids of all ages.

If you’re interested in wine tasting, there are several wineries that offer family-friendly options that engage kids in the experience. Wineries including Hoopes Vineyard and Tres Sabores offer the opportunity to see farm animals and rescue animals, sure to delight kids of any age. Other wineries like V. Sattui Winery (2023 Regional Winner) and Castello di Amorosa offer kids the opportunity to taste grape juice while their adults enjoy a wine tasting. Cakebread Cellars and Honig Winery designed tastings designed especially for families, while Laird Family Estate’s flexible spaces allow the option to taste or stretch out with a picnic on their expansive grounds.

 

 

There are several Napa Valley resorts that also cater to families – offering games, swimming pools, and inclusive packages that keep kids entertained so their parents can relax. The Grand Reserve at The Meritage Resort even has a bowling alley on site where kids can play all day.

 

In addition to wine tasting, Napa Valley has many attractions that allow families to explore the stunning countryside. Families can rent bikes to explore the Napa Valley on two wheels via the Napa Valley Vine Trail, or rent kayaks to paddle the Nap River. The di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art allows families to explore the outdoor sculpture garden and enjoy a picnic in the sunshine.

 

Whatever your family’s interests are, there is something for everyone in Napa Valley.
