City Winery at the Napa Valley Opera House

When you’re visiting wine country you’ll quickly get the knack for a certain rhythm the days seems to naturally take. After lingering over breakfast and coffee, you’ll head out to visit a few vineyards and wineries and get to taste many of the area’s foremost vintages. You’ll undoubtedly stop somewhere exquisite for a small midday meal if you aren’t the kind to nibble on things all day to keep your mind clear with all the wine tasting.

In the mid-afternoon you may feel lured back to the inn for a siesta, after which you will regroup ready to explore the Napa Valley nightlife. This is where the wonderful Napa Valley Opera House comes into your daily plans. Hosting wonderful events year round, as well as offering a full restaurant and wine bar, it is the perfect place to spend a night out in downtown Napa.
