Napa is a compact, lively base in world‑class wine country—rolling vineyards, farm‑to‑table restaurants, riverfront parks, year‑round markets, guided tastings, hiking, biking and hot‑air ballooning keep multi‑week stays interesting and easy to fill.
San Francisco (about 50 miles) and Sacramento (about 60 miles) are an easy drive away for big‑city museums, nightlife and airports, so you get wine‑country charm plus metropolitan options on days off.
