While it’s true that in wine country, days begin and wind down a little earlier, there are wine tasting and dining options that remain open just a bit longer than expected.
Contrary to common conceptions, there are Napa Valley wineries which remain open after 5pm! Some even offer sunset tastings or special happy hour events on Fridays. And, the urban tasting rooms (those located in the heart of downtown areas) are often open even a little later than traditional wineries, offering the opportunity to explore a tasting of wine before heading to dinner.
While not uncommon to plan for an early dinner that follows an afternoon tasting, it’s also not uncommon that some folks prefer a bit of down time between a wine tasting and a meal, while others might find themselves arriving into town just a bit later in the day and are looking forward to an outstanding meal. In any case, Napa Valley definitely offers late-night eats, too.
