Expert answers to common questions about California wine tours

What is the best time of year to go to California wine country?

The best time to visit California wine country is during harvest season, from late August to October, when the vineyards are alive with activity and tastings are at their most vibrant. Spring also offers stunning scenery and fewer crowds.

Napa is known for its upscale, polished experience, while Sonoma offers a more laid-back, rustic charm with equally impressive wines.

What is the best way to tour Napa Valley?

The best way to tour Napa Valley is with a private, tailor-made experience – complete with your own driver-guide who’ll take you from one handpicked winery to the next at your own pace.

At SmoothRed, we specialise in arranging bespoke wine trips across the globe end to end, from luxury accommodation to exclusive tastings, so all you have to do is relax and savour the journey.
