See the tourist bureau for special events such as the Carneros region’s April in Carneros in April, or Holiday in Carneros in October where for $25 you get a glass, and more than 25 wineries, many open only by appointment, open their doors to the masses for a weekend long tasting extravaganza. Meet the winemakers, and get special deals on wine.

 
Getting There Edit Section - Napa Getting There
 
Napa is about 50 miles north of San Francisco, and no train or boat goes all the way. The easiset was to get to Napa would be renting a car, but the Baylink Ferry provides a fun option. From San Francisco, the Baylink goes all the way to Vallejo, where you can then catch the Vine bus, route 10, to Napa. The Vine bus runs about once an hour on weekdays, a bit less on weekends.

The Napa Valley Register is Napa's daily paper. It's got all the info on the latest happenings, with the weekend edition much more helpful. Up north, each small towns also got a paper, from the St. Helena Star, to the south's American Canyon Eagle. The Sentinal is one man's rant, but it's been around forever and is worth checking out. The editor, owner, writer Harry Martin ran for mayor recently. Some folks love him, some hate him.
