Napa Valley Travel Essentials
What to Pack
for a Perfect Trip
There’s plenty to keep in mind when packing for a trip to Napa Valley, here are some suggestions to consider.
Sunglasses
A must-have when visiting anywhere sunny, but especially if you want to protect your eyes while watching the sunset from The Archer Hotel’s rooftop bar.
Light Blanket
Something that travels well and lets you lounge comfortably on the grass at Oxbow Market. Must be easy-to-carry and washable in case of any wine spills.
Light Jacket or Wrap
While Napa Valley rarely sees cold weather, it’s a good idea to pack something fashionable for catching a show at the Uptown Theater or while waiting in line for a Blue Note performance
Comfortable, trendy shoes
Be it window shopping up and down 1st Street or trekking through a vineyard with chardonnay in hand, you’ll be doing a lot of walking in Napa, so pick your favorites to look good and feel good.
Water bottle
Whether you’re basking in the sun along the banks of the Napa River, biking along the Silverado Trail, or riding aboard the Wine Train or Trolley, it is vital to always stay hydrated.
Ibuprofen
Despite our best efforts, sometimes the perfectly-paired glasses from the local vineyards, eateries, and tasting rooms can add up. Grab a travel-sized bottle to take the edge off and feel your best each day.
